The National Peasants' Games (Chinese: 中华人民共和国农民运动会) are a quadrennial
multi-sport event in China in which competitors from among the country's 750
million rural residents take part in sports, both conventional - including
basketball, athletics, table tennis, shooting, Xiangqi (Chinese chess) and tai
chi, and traditional rural and Chinese activities, such as wushu, dragon boat
racing, lion dancing, tyre pushing, food-carrying, rice planting, kite
flying, jianzi (kick shuttlecock) and tug of war. All of China's 31 provinces,
autonomous regions and municipalities, as well as Taiwan
are represented. Hong Kong and Macau
usually send observer delegations.

Chinese National Peasants' Games has a basic flag, which is white with three
ribbons, blue, yellow and green respectively, placed under each other.

Each editions of the Games has its own flag, they are based on basic flag, but
place (province and city name) of Games and year added with black symbols. I
have found flags of last three editions .
During National Peasants' Games, all delegations of Chinese subdivisions are
represented by own flag, similarly to other all-China sporting events.
