The shape and colour of either side of the National Flag shall be identical, whereas the five stars on both sides of the Flag shall be opposite to each other. For convenience"s sake, these directions shall take the circumstances where the staff is on the left as the basis for illustration. Where the staff is on the right, the word "left" used in these directions shall all be changed to "right", while the word "right" referring to direction shall all be changed to "left". 国旗的形状、颜色两面相同，旗上五星两面相对。为便利计，本件仅以旗杆在左之一面为说明之标准。对于旗杆在右之一面，凡本件所称左均应改右，所称右均应改左。
(1) The face of the Flag shall be red and rectangular; the proportion of its length and height shall be 3 to 2. The upper left of the face of the Flag shall be studded with five yellow five-pointed stars. One of the stars shall be bigger than the others, with its circumcircle"s diameter being three-tenth of the height of the Flag, and shall be placed in the left; the four other stars shall be smaller, with their circumcircle"s diameter being one-tenth of the height of the Flag, encircling the big star on its right in the shape of an arch. The cover of the staff shall be white. （一）旗面为红色，长方形，其长与高为三与二之比，旗面左上方缀黄色五角星五颗。一星较大，其外接圆直径为旗高十分之三，居左；四星较小，其外接圆直径为旗高十分之一，环拱于大星之右。旗杆套为白色。
(2) The five stars shall be positioned and drawn as follows: （二）五星之位置与画法如下：
a. To determine the position of the five stars, the face of the Flag shall be first folded both ways to form four equal rectangles; then the rectangle on the upper left shall be vertically divided into ten equal sections and horizontally divided into fifteen equal sections. 甲、为便于确定五星之位置，先将旗面对分为四个相等的长方形，将左上方之长方形上下划为十等分，左右划为十五等分。
b. The central point of the big five-pointed star shall be at a point in the rectangle where the fifth line from above (or the fifth line from below), and the fifth line from the left (or the tenth line from the right) meet. The method of drawing shall be: taking this point as the centre and the length of three such equals as the radius to make a circle. On the circumference of this circle, five points with equal distances from each other shall be determined, one of the points must be in the right above position of the circle. Then connect each of the five points with every other point to form a straight line respectively. The outline formed by these five straight lines shall be the required big five-pointed star. An angle of the five-pointed star shall point in the right above direction. 乙、大五角星的中心点，在该长方形上五下五、左五右十之处。其画法为：以此点为圆心，以三等分为半径作一圆。在此圆周上，定出五个等距离的点，其一点须位于圆之正上方。然后将此五点中各相隔的两点相联，使各成一直线。此五直线所构成之外轮廓线，即为所需之大五角星。五角星之一个角尖正向上方。
c. The centres of the four small five-pointed stars shall be as follows: the first shall be at a point, in the rectangle, where the second line from above (or the eighth line from below), and the tenth line from the left (or the fifth line from the right) meet; the second shall be at a point where the fourth line from above (or the sixth line from below), and the twelfth line from the left (or the third line from the right) meet; the third shall be at a point where the seventh line from above (or the third line from below), and the twelfth line from the left (or the third line from the right) meet; the fourth shall be at a point where the ninth line from above (or the first line from below), and the tenth line from the left (or the fifth line from the right) meet. The method for drawing shall be: taking each of the above four points as the centre and the length of one such equal as the radius to make four circles. On each circle, five points with equal distances from each other shall be determined. One of such points must be on the line linking the centre of the circle with the centre of the big five-pointed star. Then the same methods used in forming the big five-pointed star shall be used to form the small five-pointed stars. The four small five- pointed stars shall respectively have an angle pointing right at the centre of the big five-pointed star. 丙、四颗小五角星的中心点，第一点在该长方形上二下八、左十右五之处，第二点在上四下六、左十二右三之处，第三点在上七下三、左十二右三之处，第四点在上九下一、左十右五之处。其画法为：以以上四点为圆心，各以一等分为半径，分别作四个圆。在每个圆上各定出五个等距离的点，其中均须各有一点位于大五角星中心点与以上四个圆心的各联结线上。然后用构成大五角星的同样方法，构成小五角星。此四颗小五角星均各有一个角尖正对大五角星的中心点。
(3) The measurement in common use for the National Flag, from which people from various circles may choose at their discretion shall be as follows: （三）国旗之通用尺度定为如下五种，各界酌情选用：
a. 288 cm. in length, 192 cm. in height; 甲、长 288 公分，高 192 公分。
b. 240 cm. in length, 160 cm. in height; 乙、长 240 公分，高 160 公分。
c. 192 cm. in length, 128 cm. in height; 丙、长 192 公分，高 128 公分。
d. 144 cm. in length, 96 cm. in height; 丁、长 144 公分，高 96 公分。
