  "desc": "- The flag of South Vietnam featured a yellow field with three horizontal red stripes across the centre, continuing the imperial yellow of Vietnam's monarchical tradition\n - Used by the Republic of Vietnam (1955–1975), this flag dates back to the Nguyễn dynasty and Emperor Thành Thái's 1890 decree\n - The three stripes are variously interpreted as the three regions of Vietnam (Cochinchina, Annam, Tonkin) or the tearing of blood through the nation\n - After the fall of Saigon in 1975, the flag was banned in Vietnam but remains a powerful symbol for the Vietnamese diaspora\n - **Construction:** a yellow field with three thin red horizontal stripes equally spaced across the centre.
