During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, he wore a Chinese tunic suit, a straight hat and a dome (later liberation hat), and an armband and badge. The color of the military uniform is khaki or gray in the Eighth Route Army, gray in the New Fourth Army, and basically yellow during the War of Liberation.
Since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), China has undergone eight reforms, including five major changes.
1950, with the approval of the central military commission, the uniform system and supply standards of the whole army were unified, and the styles were divided into cadres, soldiers and men and women. Single coat, cadres open, soldiers with hats. The female soldiers are all dresses, and they all wear big hats. The material is cotton plain cloth. Color: army green, navy white blue, cotton-padded blue, air force green blue. Wear the "August 1st" five-star hat badge and the "China People's Liberation Army" badge.
1955 when the military rank system was implemented, the military uniforms of the whole army were completely reformed with reference to the Soviet clothing style. Officers and men of the whole army are issued uniforms, and officers at or above the field level are issued formal dresses. In terms of uniform style, male officers wear four-pocket stand-up collar, trousers, wide-brimmed hat (1958 plus liberation hat) in summer and velvet hat in winter, while male soldiers wear two-pocket stand-up collar, trousers, boat-shaped hat (1958 plus liberation hat) and velvet hat in summer. Navy soldiers are shawl-collar and pullover-type, with openings next to their pants. The summer dress of female soldiers is a small lapel, two digging bags and a soft hat without eaves.
Colors: Army Brown Green, Navy Summer White Blue, Winter Blue, Air Force Brown Green and Blue. Officers wear epaulettes, soldiers wear epaulettes, and all officers and men wear weapons symbols and round "August 1st" five-star hat badges. A captain was wearing a Sam Browne belt.
In the early 1960s, it was found that there were only cotton-padded clothes in winter and only single clothes in summer. Changing cotton-padded clothes into single clothes was not conducive to climate regulation. Under the principle of minor changes in standards, the structural collocation of winter clothes has been reformed. Coats, tight-fitting cotton-padded clothes, sweaters and underpants are used instead of old-fashioned cotton-padded clothes, and coats are widely distributed, which solves the problem of changing clothes in different seasons and improves the sanitary performance of military uniforms.
Since 1968, the military uniforms of the whole army have carried out special research and experiments on the application of chemical fiber materials in military uniforms. From 197 1, the materials of singlets, blouses and coats were gradually changed to polyester-cotton blended fabrics, which improved the quality of military uniforms.
During the period of 1985, the whole army changed into "Eighth Five-Year Plan" clothes. Compared with the original clothing, the main changes are: cadres and soldiers are distributed with standard shirts, wide-brimmed hats, round "August 1st" five-star hat badges and service epaulettes. The winter clothes, summer clothes and coats of cadres above the corps level are all pure wool, while the cadres of divisions and regiments are blended wool.
1987,87 clothing reform is different from any military uniform reform in the history of our army. A series of dresses, uniforms and combat uniforms were established, which solved the problem of soldiers wearing different clothes when performing different tasks.
Type 87 clothing, soldiers' summer clothes and women's winter clothes were all changed from standing collar to open collar, soldiers' uniforms were changed from two pockets to four pockets, and soldiers wore shirts and ties when wearing summer clothes. Training uniforms and camouflage uniforms are fashionable and have a sense of the times. Coat, shirt, military cap, military shoes, etc. It has also been improved accordingly and made great innovations. In summer, the materials used in junior officers' uniforms and noncommissioned officers' uniforms were changed from polyester cotton to blended wool. The hard epaulettes of officers and the soft epaulettes of officers and men are dignified, solemn and generous in style, with clear rank marks and obvious differences. The service logo design is simple and novel, easy to distinguish and easy to paste. The big hat emblem is marked with pine branches and leaves and Tiananmen pattern, which is obvious and profound. The epaulettes and symbols of civilian cadres, the ties of officers' dresses, and the ribbons of big-brimmed hats all match the 87-style clothing.
The term of active service of our army's conscripts is 3 years in the army and 4 years in the navy and air force.
The service life of noncommissioned officers is:
The first phase and the second phase are three years each; The third and fourth stages are four years each; The fifth period is five years; The sixth period is more than nine years.
