Introduction to the national emblem : The center of the national emblem is a shield which is divided into four parts, it was made in 1906: in the upper left corner is a golden sailing boat sailing in the Indian Ocean, which shows the increasingly prosperous maritime trade and reminds people to remember the history written in blood; Three palm trees stand on the tropical land in the upper right corner, representing the plant resources and natural conditions of the country; The five-pointed star and the red key vividly explain the words "stars and keys in the Indian Ocean" on the fringes at the bottom of the coat of arms, which shows the importance of their strategic position. On both sides of the shield are painted sugarcane, the main animal of the country, wild deer and dodo, which have disappeared for many years, adding a touch of natural poetic flavor to the glittering sea surface.
