旗杆

旗杆 (qí gān) refers to a pole or shaft used to hold a flag, typically found in public spaces, schools, or government buildings. It is specifically designed to support a flag and allow it to flutter in the wind.

The character 旗 (qí) means 'flag,' and 杆 (gān) means 'pole' or 'stick.' Together, they form a compound word that directly describes the object used to display a flag.

旗杆 is commonly seen in official settings such as schools, government offices, and military bases. In China, it is often associated with national pride and patriotism, especially during important ceremonies or events like National Day.
