Flags in the history of Tajikistan
The existence of the peoples of the banners, which are considered the ancestors of the Tajiks, scientists have learned from the "Avesta".In these sacred Zoroastrian texts preserved mention of some "bull" flags of developing the wind.Some experts believe that the most ancient Tajik banners were like kavianskie banners, of which more is known (they are used somewhat later).The analogy with ancient Roman vexillum - quadrangular flags with the red cloth on a pole.The most famous kaviansky banner - "Dirafshi Kaviyani" - now adorns the Standard of the President of Tajikistan.
In different historical periods of Tajiks ancestors used different banners.Thus, during the Achaemenid dynasty (BC 648-330g) were distributed flags on a pole high, surmounted by a golden eagle.At the same time, we used the so-called draconian banners.Later, during the Arshakids dynasty (250-224 BC.), In the course of the flags were made of leather, with the image of a four-star.After Iran was conquered by the Arabs, in the symbolism of Muslim rulers, including the banners began to appear a crescent.
In Bukhara Emirate flag was quadrangular and have a light green color.On the banner in Arabic, it was written: "The Sultan - the shadow of Allah."At the edge there was another inscription: "No God but Allah, and Muhammad - His Prophet."

liquidated Bukhara Emirate in 1920, after which it was created Bukharan People's Soviet Republic.Its flag is composed of two bands: upper - green, and the lower - red.In the middle it was depicted golden crescent with him inside the five-pointed star.Further adorned with green stripes following abbreviations: BPSR.
BPSR later was renamed in Bukhara SSR, which was soon abolished.The national flag of the Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic also had a rectangular shape and was a red flag.His corner was the emblem of the Republic.
After conversion, the Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in Tadjikistan flag has undergone some changes.New banner consisted of four bands: red, white, green and another red.At the top, near the staff were shown the gold hammer and sickle with a five-pointed star.In 1992, these characters are removed from the flag.
Guinness book
In 2011, the flag of Tajikistan hit the Guinness Book of Records.At the ceremony marking the twentieth anniversary of independence of the country, he was raised on the world's longest flagpole, whose height was 165 m. The cloth thus had a size of 60 by 30 meters. Unfortunately for the width and length of the Tajik flag is not broke the previous record of Azerbaijan.Dimensions of the flag of the country, entered into the Book of Records earlier, accounted for 70 to 35 m.

projections on the crown symbolize the three regions of the republic - Badakhshan, Khatlon and Zarafshan.As for the stars, the number seven in the Tajik tradition is a symbol of perfection.The sun coming out from behind the mountains, is a happy beginning of a new life, and ears - the people's wealth.
Some researchers interpret the symbolism of the coat of arms of the Tajik, referring to the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism.According to this interpretation, the golden crown is a stylized image of three lamps that once symbolized the unquenchable fire and is the object of worship in the churches.Stars of the same - an analogue of the Christian halo shining sun beginning.
