Vietnamese national flags of past dynasties

Red and yellow have always been the main colors of the Vietnamese national flag since ancient times, which first appeared in the Li Dynasty in Vietnam.

Ruan tricolor banner was originally formulated according to the dry hexagrams in the eight diagrams, which is the first of the sixty-four hexagrams. Both the upper and lower parts are composed of the same divination, and the six hexagrams are all yang. Being called "doing for heaven" represents the image of "heaven". The first of the sixty-four hexagrams, followed by the Kun hexagram symbolizing the "earth", is the preface to the Biography of Eight Diagrams: the positioning of heaven and earth, and everything is born. The innate gossip position of Gangua represents the south, and the official title of Ruan Dynasty is Da Nan (Vietnamese: i Nam, meaning the great empire of the south). Vietnam was once a colony in modern history, and once split into two regimes after independence. Therefore, there is another series of Vietnamese national flags in history-three flags.

Three flags on the yellow background are the national symbol flags of the Vietnamese nation. Yellow represents yellow skin (or Vietnamese land), red represents blood (or Vietnamese people and blood), and three stripes represent three regions (or "freedom", "democracy" and "human rights").

During the French colonial period, the Ruan Dynasty in Vietnam used the three banners as the flag of the dynasty. As a result, the Japanese puppet regime, the Vietnamese Empire, adopted a new three-stripe pattern as the national flag, which became the embryonic form of the Vietnamese national flag. After the Ruan Dynasty was destroyed, Emperor Baoda received the support of the Government of the Fourth Republic of France, and the State of Vietnam took three flags as its national flag.

Wu Tingyan established Vietnam * * * and Vietnam (South Vietnam) inherited three flags. Later, the North-South exchange of fire triggered the Vietnam War, which lasted for more than ten years.

1975, the Republic of Vietnam perished. Up to now, the three flags are still widely used by overseas Vietnamese who oppose the Vietnamese regime.
