The red flag charged with white 18 stars and nine rays.

Very odd - red, with a Mu Torere board in the centre (Mu Torere is a
traditional New Zealand board game). No doubt this isn't what the flag
represented, but it's so like one that it's hard for me not to think of one when
I see that image. (If anyone's interested, see

The army flag of commander in headquarters of Wuchang Uprising.
The white flag charged with black/white yin yang in the center and surrounded
by nine six pointed stars.
The Wuchang Uprising of October 10, 1911 started the Xinhai Revolution, which
led to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of
China (ROC).
In 1900, the ruling Qing Dynasty created a modernized army called the "New Army".
At the time, the city of Wuchang, on the Yangtze River in the province of Hubei,
had the most modern military industry. It began manufacturing weapons and other
military equipment for the New Army. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideas
extensively influenced the officers and soldiers of the New Army in Wuchang;
many joined revolutionary organizations.
