The Order of the Precious Brilliant Golden Grain (Order of Chia-Ho (嘉禾)), more simply the Order of the Golden Grain is one ofthe most commonly known orders in China. Yuan Shih Kai instituted the Order of the Golden Grain on 29 July 1912 for outstanding civil ormilitary meritorious achievement. It was widely conferred by the Peiyang Government in Beijing, until its abolition by the Nationalist Government in 1929.

Five Races Under One Union was one of the major principles upon which the Republic of China was founded in 1911 at the time of the Xinhai Revolution. Its central tenet was the harmonious existence under one nation of what were considered the five major ethnic groups in China: the Han, the Manchus, the Mongols, the Tibetans, and the Hui.
