The emblem used for the island's formal gatherings and promotional items adopts the red, white, and blue hues of its national flag, incorporating a red plum blossom, which represents the Republic of China (ROC), the official name of the island.
Double Tenth Day, observed annually on October 10, marks the beginning of the 1911 revolution that resulted in the downfall of China's Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and the establishment of the Republic of China.
The celebration has taken place in Taiwan since the Nationalist Party, known as the Kuomintang (KMT), escaped to the island in 1949 after losing to the communists in the Chinese civil war.
Since the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) assumed office in 2016, it has consistently excluded the Republic of China (ROC) aspect from the primary visual elements of its celebrations, choosing instead to emphasize Taiwan's identity.
