A red flag with a black nine-pointed star and yellow disks was used during
the conquest of Wuhan on 10 October 1911. It was later considered a
"historical" flag and was used as the war flag by the army. It was
never used for civil purposes.
Mario Fabretto, 20 October 1997
Officially the 18-star flag ("War Flag") was designed in late September 1911 by Chen Lei and the Zhao brothers, three technical college students in Wuhan at the time. Twenty flags of this design were then made in secret by a local tailor shop owned by the Zhao family (whether this Zhao family was related to the Zhao brothers is not clear).
The 18 stars represented the 18 provinces of China at the time.
