![[Taiwan Civil Ensign]](../images/c/cn~civ29.gif)

Red ensign with the blue canton containing the white sun, the red field is
defaced with four serrated yellow stripes.
This flag is shown in various sources from the 1930's through the mid-1960's. All indications are that it is currently obsolete.
The flag is similar to the customs flag of the era.

The Civil Ensign of the Republic of China was already abandoned with the
Executive Order by the authority in 1966. The Order said, "During 'Period of
Mobilization for the Suppression of Communist Rebellion', the Civil Ensign
should be suspended and replaced with the National Flag." From then on, the
Ensign was no longer flown even though the Period was terminated in 1991.
What mentioned above is replied from the Ministry of Transportation &
Communications of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to answer the question
about validation/invalidation of the Civil Ensign.

Construction Sheet:

Construction details are given in Flaggenbuch: in all equal to the national
flag, the serrated stripes are constructed with help of 16 imaginary
horizontal stripes, the serrations making 13 vertical swings. This could be
described in more details, but I believe this and image should suffice.
The same construction sheet is applicable for all other (previous)
Taiwanese ensigns of this pattern. This ensign seems to have fallen in disuse.
It is, however not clear if it is abandoned officially. More research on the
status of this and similar ensigns should be made.
