Notes edit
- ^ Despite fact that the monarchs of the Nguyễn dynasty were officially titled Hoàng Đế (黃帝, "Emperor") they were commonly referred to as Vương (王, "King") and/or Vua (君, "Sovereign") by the common people.
- ^ In this context "revolutionary enthusiasm" means the "readiness to make changes in order to improve the life".
- ^ The orange colour is actually described as yellow and is perhaps meant to be the "saffron colour".
- ^ The shape of the lotus flower on the flag proposal is the same as used by the Đạo Hòa Hảo community in Vietnam, this would suggest that (at least) some of the students that participated in the design of this proposals might have been Vietnam-born adherents of the Hòa Hảo religion as the shape of the lotus flower used by the Vietnamese diaspora Hòa Hảo practitioners differs.
