The origin of the hand-raising ceremony of military salute has not been verified, and there are usually two versions. One is that the soldiers of the Roman legion (or knights and warriors who participated in the tournament in medieval Europe) raised their hands to block the sun to show their respect for their superiors (or women who watched the tournament); First, it has the same intention as shaking hands, showing each other that they have no weapons in their hands. But it is more correct and well-founded that in medieval Europe, when knights met on the road, they would raise their helmets with their right hands to show their respect. This action later evolved into a hand-raising ceremony. The common way to raise your hand internationally is to put the five fingers of your right hand together, palm flat, raise it to the position near your right eyebrow or right temple, and then put it down. In the armies of the United States, China and Russia, the palms are usually downward, while in Britain, the palms are forward. Most countries stipulate that soldiers can only raise their hands when wearing military hats, but the US Army, the China People's Liberation Army and other military forces stipulate that they can raise their hands with or without military hats. The salute of the Polish army is that the index finger and middle finger of the right hand are close together, and the other three fingers make fists. In Italy and Spain in the fascist era, as well as Nazi Germany, the fascist and SS raised their hands with their right arms raised horizontally, slightly raised, palms stretched horizontally and palms down. This salute is thought to have originated from the raising of hands ceremony in ancient Rome. When you raise your gun, stand at attention with it. The right hand holds the gun in front of the center of the deep body, and the gun faces back. Hold the center of the gun horizontally with your left hand, close to your body. Then move the gun neck with your right hand, look straight ahead and pay attention to the person being shot. The recipient will "complete the ceremony" after answering the gift. According to the reverse procedure of gun raising, put down the gun and restore the gun posture. In the military laws and regulations of Russia, China, the United States and other countries, it is stipulated that attention is a military etiquette. Eye-catching ceremony is mainly used for soldiers who are inconvenient to raise their hands or hold guns when reviewing or ceremonial ceremonies. When standing at attention, the saluter stands at attention, looks at the recipient and says hello (generally, the angle of turning his head should not exceed 45 degrees). In the Russian army, the saluter should hold his head up about 30 degrees. The custom of saluting with a salute comes from the Royal Navy in the17th century. Because the loading speed of artillery was very slow at that time, it took a long time for a warship to recover its combat effectiveness after firing artillery, so it showed the other side that it was not hostile by firing salute. At that time, sodium nitrate, the fuel used to launch the salute, was easier to store on land, so the warship had to launch three times as a gift every time it was launched, while the warship fired seven salutes at most, so it fired 2 1 salute at most on land. Later, after replacing sodium nitrate with potassium nitrate, the highest etiquette of warships was to sound 2 1. This form of salute later evolved into land etiquette. At present, salute is mostly used in diplomatic occasions. When welcoming the head of state, salute 2 1, head of government 19, deputy head of state 17. Before the First World War, monarchs also saluted when they received their children. At ordinary times, Wang Ming salutes 10 1, and the princess rings 2 1. With the exception of the Russian Empire, Wang Ziming fired a 300-gun salute and the princess (Grand Duchess) fired 10 1. In addition, many countries also have the habit of firing salutes when the monarch is crowned, the president is sworn in, the head of state is born and dies, or a grand national day is held. For example, the salutation of the American President when he takes office and dies is 265,438+0, and that of the British monarch when he is born in the Tower of London is 62 (265,438+0 salutes the monarch and 265,438+0 salutes the City of London). Naval salute In naval exchanges, heads of state and government enjoy the 2 1 salute, Admiral of the fleet enjoys the 19 salute, Admiral or officials at the same level enjoy the 17 salute, vice admiral enjoys the 15 salute, Major General enjoys the 13 salute, and Brigadier General enjoys the/kloc salute. Before the 20th century, when British warships met other warships or entered other ports, they usually asked the other side to salute first. At present, the general maritime etiquette is to decide the firing order according to the level of the commanders of both fleets (or warships). In addition, warships should fire their guns first when entering foreign ports.
