The background color of the flag is green, which symbolizes warmhearted love
and the peaceful and hopeful aspirations of the county. The symbol found on the
flag is yellow and represents underground resources such as gold. Both symbols
on the flag mean "Dan", the initial letter of Tanyang. The picture
represents DoDam SamBong (DoDam = three mounts), which stands for Tanyang, and
the crescent figure represents abundant tourist resources, the hopeful crescent
shielding three mounts. Tanyang county is abundant in underground resources and
the symbol can be compared to mines dug with a fork cranes, meaning the
developing image of Tanyang county.
