Description: During a meeting of Vietnamese nationalist parties (which were against the Việt Minh) in Hong Kong on February 17, 1947, Former emperor Bảo Đại ordered to connect the broken line in the middle of the Cờ Quẻ Ly to make the Cờ Quẻ Càn, the first hexagram in the Bát Quái Đồ. The Càn is a symbol of Heaven, the sovereign, and power, corresponding to the nation, ethnos and strength of the Vietnamese people. Bảo Đại proclaimed that from then on the Cờ Quẻ Càn would be the national flag of the independent and free Vietnam.
