The Xingzhonghui flag was designed by
Lu Hao-tung and is currently the
KMT flag.
The 'Xingzhonghui' (
Chinese: 興中會,
Pinyin: ''Xīngzhōnghuì''), translated as the 'Revive China Society' or the 'Society for Regenerating China', was founded by Dr.
Sun Yat-Sen on
24 November 1894 to forward the goal of establishing prosperity for
China and as a platform for future
revolutionary activities.
Since Sun was an exile from China at the time, the society was founded in
Honolulu,
Hawaii. Those admitted to the society swore the following oath:
:Expel the foreigners, revive China, and establish a unified government. (驅逐韃虜,恢復中華,建立合眾政府)
It was later merged into the
Tongmenghui, which in turn became the
Nationalist Party of China.
