What are the many metal squares on the chest of some national officers' uniforms?

That's the medal list, also known as the brochure, brochure and so on. It is a badge used to represent medals, medals and other awards, and it is a rectangular strip with uniform specifications. Its style is usually consistent with the medal it represents and the ribbon of the medal. Different awards are distinguished by stripes, colors (and sometimes some decorations).

Medal is an integral part of the medal-based reward system. Most countries in the world have perfect reward systems and set corresponding medal lists. According to international practice, medals are used in daily and general ceremonial occasions, and are usually worn on the chest of military uniforms in the order of the medals they represent.

—— The above definition comes from Xu Jinchuan's Illustrated List of the Soviet Union, published in Military History, and the online version is published in/item2/jsbw/jssc/jssc001.htm (the online version of the People's Liberation Army Daily is the Military Museum).

Our army also has medals.

1955 awarded the medals of "August 1st", "Independence and Freedom" and "Liberation"; 1988 awarded the medals of honor of "Red Star", "Independence" and "Victory"; and the first-class and second-class British Model Medal, first-class and second-class Meritorious Medal and second-class Meritorious Medal awarded since 1970s.

However, except for the 55-year-old general and a few occasions today, we basically can't see the outline of our army's chest, because it is nothing more than the following years.

1, our military medal system is not perfect.

There are no strict rules on the way and order of wearing. At present, there are no official measures to connect more than two badges, and the badge specifications of different awards are not even uniform. How to wear them formally?

2. The officers and men of our army have no consciousness of wearing seals.

Or don't wear it, wear it indiscriminately or even bring it wrong. The sense of honor of soldiers represented by Zhang has not been well reflected. How can we make people consciously wear it?

By the way, my friends upstairs quoted my official "research group" as saying that the chapter "generally includes meritorious service chapter, rank chapter and year service chapter" is purely behind closed doors! Throughout the world, the general rules have always represented achievements, and there is no need to express any level, year, service, etc.
