White is the national color of South Korea. The flag’s emblem symbolizes the Taoist view of the universe as one united whole. The Ying and Yang interact with each other. The trigrams in each corner also have their own meaning. Clockwise from the top, they symbolize the sky/the south/summer/the air; the Moon/the west/autumn/water; the Earth/the north/winter/soil; the Sun/the east/spring/fire.
