Adopted in 1992, The colors and symbols of the State Flag of the Kyrgyz Republic carry cultural, political, and regional meanings. The red field stands for bravery and valor, and alludes to the purported emblem hoisted by Manas, the national hero of Kyrgyzstan. The sun epitomizes peace and prosperity, while its 40 rays stand for the number of tribes united by Manas to fight against the Mongols, as well as the number of followers he had. The centre of the sun features a stylized illustration of the roof atop a traditional Kyrgyz tent when viewed from the interior. Although these tents are less commonly used today,its incorporation into the flag is meant to symbolize the origin of life, the unity of time and space, as well as the people's hearth and home and their history.
Thanks a lot Eric!
