Throughout history, we often see scenes of war, and one scene that is particularly striking is that when one side chooses to surrender, they usually raise the white flag. Why, then, is the white flag raised for surrender?The answer to this question actually stems from China's history and culture, especially the history of the Qin Dynasty.
First, let's be clear that China didn't start with white as a sign of surrender. In ancient times, people usually used the red flag to represent battle and challenge, and the black flag to signify peace and friendship. However, over time, this rule has changed.
The Qin Dynasty was a very important dynasty in Chinese history. The establishment of the Qin Dynasty marked the historical stage of China's entry into a feudal society. During this period, the clothes of the people of the Qin Dynasty were mainly black. This was because black was considered a noble and dignified color at the time, and only nobles could wear black clothes.
However, black clothes were not suitable for use in war. Because black clothes can easily attract the attention of the enemy on the battlefield, thus making themselves a target for the enemy. As a result, the people of the Qin Dynasty began to look for a new color of flag to use to signify their willingness to make peace and surrender.
In the process, white became their first choice. White is the easiest color to distinguish from black, and in good light, white flags can be seen from a distance. Therefore, white became the best choice for the people of the Qin Dynasty to express their peace and surrender.
Since then, white has become a symbol of China's surrender. Whether in ancient wars or modern wars, as long as one side raises the white flag, it means that they have chosen to surrender.
However, this is not to say that white is just a sign of surrender. In different cultural and historical contexts, white has different symbolic meanings. For example, during the American Revolution, the U.S. team used a white flag to show their resistance and resistance. Therefore, we cannot simply assume that white is a sign of surrender.
In general, why raise the white flag for surrender?The answer to this question stems from China's history and culture, especially the history of the Qin Dynasty. Since then, white has become a symbol of China's surrender. However, this does not mean that white is just a sign of surrender. In different cultural and historical contexts, white has different symbolic meanings.
On this issue, we can draw a conclusion: color is not just a visual representation, it is also a carrier of culture. By understanding the historical and cultural context of color, we can better understand the diversity and complexity of this world.
