Be careful not to confuse 旗帜 (qí zhì) with 旗 (qí) alone, which simply means 'flag' without the connotation of representation. This word is more formal and often used in written contexts, such as political discussions or historical texts. Remember to use the correct tones, as mispronouncing them can change the meaning.
