✒️ The Qing Empire Pride Flag is a fictional, alternative history (alt-history) flag design that combines the emblems of Imperial China with the modern LGBTQ+ pride flag. The design consists of the six-color rainbow pride flag (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet) serving as the field. Superimposed over this background is a large, traditional Chinese dragon, a potent symbol of imperial power, particularly associated with the Qing dynasty. The heraldic dragon is depicted in vibrant colors, coiling around a central red pearl, creating a synthesis of contemporary political identity and historical Chinese heraldry.
This flag is a prominent example of a trend within the online vexillology and alt-history communities that reinterprets historical symbols to create inclusive emblems. This pattern was first popularized by the "Austria-Hungary Pride Flag," associated with an anonymous r/vexillology user known as The MayoMan. The Qing Empire Pride Flag itself was subsequently developed by Kaiser Cat Collective artist Vincent De Nil. Its creation was part of the development process for the popular "Kaiserreich Documentary" series, specifically in connection with episodes focusing on the alt-history fate of China. Such flags are part of a broader "Pride Alt-History" movement, which aims to make the community and its fictional world-building projects more inclusive for all members.
