In the process of historical development, why is the national flag of France a tricolor flag?

The French flag is blue, white and red, which is called tricolor flag. Someone once explained that these three colors symbolize freedom, equality and fraternity. That's not true.

The French national flag is one of the earliest national flags in the world. In feudal times, there was no such thing as a national flag. Flags were only used by the army, and feudal princes generally had their own flags. On behalf of princes. The flag of the king's army is the symbol of the king, not the national flag.

The color is symbolic. In the past, the symbol color chosen by the French Bourbon dynasty was white, that is, the white of lily. In French, "pure white" means pure and flawless. Of course, this is a lie. The royal family is cruel and dirty than anyone else.

The French have the habit of tying decorative knots. Decorative knots are round knots or flower knots made of cloth or silk fabrics, which are not only used as decorations, but also play a symbolic role. The color of French bourbon ornaments is lily white. The flag of the royal family is lily.

Before the French Revolution attacked the Bastille, many people decorated it with blue and red representing Paris. It was wearing blue and red ornaments that they captured the Bastille. Later, the French National Assembly made such a decision: the state awarded each participant who attacked the Bastille a set of exquisite trimmed uniforms, and awarded each participant a sabre or pike engraved with the national emblem, as well as a medal with the pattern of the Bastille Tower with blue and red ribbons. At that time, the blue-red decorative knot had become a symbol of revolutionaries. On July 1789, 17, King Louis XVI came to Paris City Hall from Versailles, the headquarters of the National Guard. When the guards presented him with blue and red ornaments, the king pinned them on his own ornaments, with white in the middle and blue and red on both sides, and the blue, white and red ornaments were thus formed. During the French Revolution, it became a tricolor flag emblem, and later it evolved into a tricolor flag symbolizing France. This is the origin of the French flag.

Some people may ask: Why does the national flag of the Republic of Flanders still keep the royal white? Smart French people will say that the white left by the royal family reflects the continuity of history.
