The flags of Mengjiang have been combinations of red, blue, white and yellow. Probably represented the colors, similar to the colors of the Republic of China (1912–1928) or the colors of Manchukuo, various nationalities. Compared to China, they have omitted black, probably because there are no Tibetans in Inner Mongolia.
The flag of the Republic of China showed five horizontal stripes, between 1912 and 1928, which should represent the five races of China (Han-Chinese, Manchou, Mongols, Hui & Turkestans abd Tibetans), and red – the colour of the Han – was positioned uppermost. In the Flag of Manchukuo the yellow stripe – the colour of the Manchou – was removed from the colour-sequence and inserted lowermost to make possible in this way the space for the large yellow area of the bunting. The three flag changes are possibly to explain in this way: When the State Mengjiang was founded by the Japanese, it was at first a principality. In 1939 took over the United Mengjiang Autonomous Government, and from 1941 the country was called Mongolian Autonomous State. Today's "Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region" does not have its own flag.

The name "Mengjiang" comes from the Chinese "Meng Chiang", which literally means "Mongolian border". "Inner Mongolia" (Southern Mongolia) became in the 18th century directly subjected under the Chinese administrative system, Outer Mongolia (northern Mongolia, Mongolia current state) remained loosely under Chinese sovereignty.
