The first “Blue Ground Yellow Tiger Flag” appeared on May 23, 1895, when the Republic of Formosa was established. When Taiwan and Penghu Islands were ceded to Japan as a result of the Treaty of Maguan (馬關條約), the Republic of Formosa was founded to avoid the fate of cession and Tang Jingsong, then governor of Taiwan Province, was chosen as the first president.
The idea of creating a flag for the province of Formosa arose during the 1991 Legislative Convention, which aimed to reform the provincial constitution of 1957. On 14 February of that year, during one of its sessions, deputy Miguel Bernardo Caja presented a motion, taking into account the suggestions of deputy Juan Carlos Díaz Roig.
