What is the tricolor column at the entrance of the barber's? A glass cylinder is usually installed in front of the barber's door, in which there are red, blue and white tricolor and rotating flower styles. It's the sign of the barber shop, and it's used all over the world.
Saying 1: red, blue and white on the French flag
During the French Revolution, a revolutionary in Paris was chased by the enemy and ran to a barbershop to hide. When the enemy came to the barber shop, the barbers talked in front of the enemy and cleverly protected the revolutionary. After the victory of the revolution, the French government, in order to recognize the contribution of barber workers to the revolution, installed a flower style in front of the barber shop, which symbolized the red, blue and white colors on the French flag.
Saying 2: red represents artery, blue represents vein, white represents gauze
In Medieval Western Europe, it is generally believed that the main reason for human disease is the imbalance of various elements in the body. As long as extra 'elements' are introduced, health will be restored. While blood is considered to be the most easily induced 'element', so Europeans think 'bloodletting is the beginning of recovery'. But doctors think that this is done by the lower class. They are not willing to bleed themselves and entrust the barber to do it, so the barber becomes an amateur surgeon. In 154, with the approval of the king of England, the Federation of barbers and surgeons was established, and a solemn ceremony was held for this purpose. Since then, hairdressers have officially put on the brand of surgeons, and selected the three color column as the symbol of their practice and haircut. In the tricolor column, red represents artery, blue represents vein, and white represents gauze. In 1745, the Royal Society of surgeons was established by the royal order of King George II of England. The surgeons separated from the barbers, but the tricolor pillars in front of the barber's shop were still used.
