In the blog's banner, one can find on the right side the Eurasian Tricolor Roundel. Here I will explain the significance of the three colors used in this symbol. In my short article What is Eurasianism?, I gave the following definition of the Eurasian:
Well I say that if Europe is the father, and Asia the mother, then the Eurasian is their son. Certainly he is entitled by his birth to claim with pride the heritage and descent of both civilizations, but he himself has some nature which is not shared by the parents. So, one parent we consider European, and the other we consider Asian, then as for the son, he certainly has inherited the European nature from one parent, and the Asian nature from the other, but in that clash of opposites, is bestowed by what must be God himself a nature which is neither European nor Asian, the Eurasian nature.
That established, and whereas it is necessary that the Eurasian have a symbol which represents this, and within that, which extols the fundamental virtues of the Eurasian, we have devised the following formulation.
Blue: Heaven
The image of a bright, blue sky over a flat, broad plain is one ingrained into the racial conscious of all Eurasians.
Blue is the color of Heaven, and, as the ancients of both Europe and Asia knew, Heaven is God. Heaven, worshiped under such names as Jupiter, Tian and Tengri, is the source of order, strength and light in this world. The Divine Sky Father dispatches his commands to the World, directing the seasons to come and go, the moon to wax and wane, the constellations to revolve; He is the Chakravartin, the one who turns the Dharmachakra, causing all cycles to revolve and take their natural course. He is the engine of all Transformation: what is low He raises, and what is high He lowers, never early or late, but always on schedule. Anciently civilizations across Eurasia took Heaven to be the supreme God, and oriented their societies around respect for Him and the laws He disposes. In this way, Heaven is the both the cornerstone and nucleus of the Eurasian worldview.
Therefore, the color Blue represents our resolve to carry on the ways of our Ancestors and revere Heaven and Heaven's laws. Because the sacred King, by virtue of his corresponding to Heaven, becomes the agent of Heaven's will, the Earthly Chakravartin, Blue also represents the institution of the Holy Monarchy.
Yellow: Nobility
Gold is the among the rarest materials.
Yellow is the color of Gold, and thus can be considered the color of rarity. Those who are Hapas today probably number less than a million, and even so, that number must be many times higher than the number of Hapas that have been alive at any given point in thousands of years of History. The Eurasian, then, is a rare breed. Like the Eurasian, true Nobility is also rare, because true Nobility consists in doing what the vast majority of humans are unwilling or unable to do: to distinguish one's self from others in virtue, skill, wisdom, valor, to extol integrity, honesty and loyalty, to be paragons of righteousness, dispensers of justice. Throughout History, the best men of the Eurasian civilizations were exemplars of these and many more virtues. They, like Gold, are truly deserving of the title 'Noble'.
Therefore, the color Yellow represents our dedication to the virtues which distinguish the common man from the truly Noble man.
White: Purity
Chinggis Khan wore plain White robes. Unlike most leaders, he was not obsessed with increasing his personal wealth, nor outwardly displaying it. He never built any grand tombs or mausoleums to be buried in when he died. In fact, the location of his burial was kept secret; he did not want a cult of personality.
White is the color of Purity. What is white is simple, unadulterated, modest. It doesn't presume. White is the color of the kosode of Shinto priestesses, of the Roman toga, and of numerous styles of folk costume throughout Europe. White is a humble color; on clothing it exemplifies the wearer's rejection of material pleasure and overt display of wealth, all of which is transient anyway, and will part from us when we inevitably die. White further embodies simplicity, the view that the best solution is not necessarily the one with the most moving parts. In this way, White represents the purity with which Eurasian people for thousands of years have transcended the material realm, with disdain for the pleasures of the flesh and the sights and sounds which confound the heart, and the simplicity which they held as the most dignified way for one to live one's life. As Alexander the Great said, "Were I not Alexander, I would like to be Diogenes."
Therefore, the color White represents our acute Eurasian affinity for simplicity as the path to dignity, as well as our humility and deference before God and before our fellow men.
