Reconstructed flag of the "Lanfang Republic", description from the book "Hakka people - Jews of the Orient" by Kao Chung Xi.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is a reconstructed flag of the Lanfang Republic created by Reddit user u/pcdandy, in order to correct the most likely incorrect flag of the Lanfang Republic on Wikipedia. The description used to reconstruct this flag is taken from the book "Hakka people - Jews of the Orient" by Kao Chung Xi, which is as follows:

"...The flag is a rectangle yellow flag with the word Lan Fang Ta Tong Chi. The president flag is a triangular yellow flag with the word Chuao (General)..."

Please keep in mind this is indeed a reconstruction. Other than this, there is very little else to go off of, like dimension, etc. The previous flag has even flimsier records, and the text (which reads just 'Hakka') is quite incorrect, even with the sources we have.

Licensing

[edit]
Public domain
The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright. This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.
