The national emblem of the Republic of Macedonia depicts two curved garlands of sheaves of wheat, tobacco leaves and opium poppy fruits, tied by a ribbon decorated with embroidery of traditional Macedonian folk motifs. In the centre of the ovoid frame are depicted a mountain, a lake and a sunrise.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Macedonia: Coat of arms )〕 The features of the national coat of arms contain a rising sun which symbolizes freedom, the Šar Mountains〔 with its peak named Ljuboten〔 or Mount Korab〔 and the river Vardar,〔World Around Us — the Encyclopaedia for Children and Youth, XI edition, Školska knjiga, Zagreb, 1987, vol. II (A-M), page 242〕〔(Со замената на сликата се менува и објаснувањето, Пирин преоѓа во Кораб )〕 with Lake Ohrid. The emblem also contains opium poppy fruits; this poppy was brought to Macedonia by the Ottoman Empire in the first half of 19th century.〔Agricultural Encyclopaedia, Yugoslavian Lexicographical Institute, Zagreb, 1970, vol. II (Krm-Proi), page 131, Author of the article on Poppy is Jordan Đorđevski, dipl. ing. agr., professor of the Agricultural and Forestry Faculty of the University of Skopje, Macedonia〕 Until 16 November 2009, the emblem also depicted a socialistic five-pointed star in the top. The national parliament adopted the proposal to remove this element with 80 votes in favor and 18 against. The emblem that included the red star had been in use since 1946, shortly after the republic became part of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). The emblem is based upon the Emblem of Yugoslavia and is unrelated to the historical coats of arms of Macedonia. Along with Belarus, the Republic of Macedonia is one of the few remaining European countries that continue to employ socialistic symbolism. ==History== The current emblem is a revised version of the one adopted on July 27, 1946 by the Assembly of the People's Republic of Macedonia. The original version of 1946 represented the Pirin Mountains which are part of the region of Macedonia in order to symbolize a future United Macedonia as part of a new Balkan Federation. The Emblem was created by Vasilije Popovic-Cico. After Yugoslavia broke with the Soviet Union in 1948, the Soviet Union did not compel Bulgaria and Albania to form a Balkan Federation with Yugoslavia and the concept of a United Macedonia as part of such a federation was no longer realistic.〔(62nd birthday of the national emblem of the Republic of Macedonia )〕 Two days after its adoption, the symbolism of that device was described in the ''Nova Makedonija'' newspaper, as follows: The supervised version was constitutionally approved by the Constitution of the People's Republic of Macedonia from December 31, 1946.〔Ustav na Narodna Republika Makedonija ("Služben vesnik", No. 1/47, 1947-01-01)〕 File:Coat of arms of the PR of Macedonia.svg|Emblem of the People's Republic of Macedonia, 1944-1946 File:Coat_of_arms_of_Macedonia_(1946-2009).svg|Emblem of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia, 1946-1991 File:Coat_of_arms_of_Macedonia_(1946-2009).svg|Emblem of the Republic of Macedonia, 1991-2009 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National emblem of the Republic of Macedonia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
