In 1945, the flag symbolizing Communism (red) and Mongol nationalism (blue) was established. Near the hoist is a soyonba, a grouping of philosophical symbols (flame, sun, moon, yin-yang, triangles, and bars). Yellow traditionally stood for Lamaist Buddhism. On Jan. 12, 1992, a five-pointed star (for Communism) was removed from the flag.
