What Happened to the Old Chinese Flag(s)?

China's red and gold flag, the Wǔxīng Hóngqí in Mandarin, is well known as the Chinese national symbol, though it only came into use in the late 1940's, at which time many other flags had been used to represent China from the Qing Dynasty's 5-clawed dragon on a yellow field, through the flags of the Xinhai and Wuchang Rebellions and that designed by Sun Yat-sen which is still Taiwan's current flag.
