What is the origin of the tricolor column in front of the barber shop?

During the French Revolution, a barber shop was a revolutionary stronghold. Once, the main leader of a revolutionary party escaped from the chase under the cover of a barber. After the victory of the revolution, in recognition of their achievements, they were chartered to use the red, white and blue national flag as a symbol, which gradually evolved into the later flower-turning downlight, and countries followed suit and became the symbol of international barber shops.

Shaving one's head rose after the Qing dynasty entered the customs. Legend has it that one year, Yong Zhengdi had a sore on his head and felt uncomfortable when combing his hair. He suspected that the eunuch combed his hair and killed several eunuchs in succession.

At that time, there lived a Taoist named Luo in Baiyun Temple in Beijing. He sympathized with the innocent victims, so he tried to make a barber knife, a barber knife, a comb for braiding hair, a comb and other hairdressing tools, and explored a set of operating methods such as pressing, patting and holding, which were taught to eunuchs to comb their hair.

Eunuch used these tools and methods to shave Yong Zhengdi's head and braid his hair, which made Yong Zhengdi feel very comfortable. Ask the reason, the eunuch who played last time was taught by Taoist Luo.

Yongzheng gave Taoist Luo the title of "driving half a dynasty and being a small deacon". Taoist Luo became the barber's grandfather. After his death, he was buried in Baiyun Temple, now the "Luogong Pagoda". Yongzheng named him a "real person". The ancestor who worshipped in the barber shop in his early years was this Taoist Luo.
