During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period, our military uniforms were khaki for the Eighth Route Army and gray for the New Fourth Army. The cloth is thick and thin, regardless of size, and the length of the garment is "two feet and a half".
During the War of Liberation, the clothing style of our army was the same as that of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. 1946 10, our army was renamed "China People's Liberation Army", and the armbands of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were cancelled, and all units wore armbands or badges marked with serial numbers respectively. In the late period of the liberation war, our army took over a number of arsenals of Kuomintang troops, and initially had the conditions for unified production and supply of clothing. 1949 to 65438+ 10, the logistics department of the military commission stipulated uniform clothing styles for the whole army. The military uniform is a grass-green cotton plain tunic suit, with a rectangular chest badge printed with the words "China People's Liberation Army", a liberation hat and a red five-pointed star on August 1st. 1949 10 all the troops participating in the military parade in founding ceremony wore this uniform.
After the founding of the People's Liberation Army of China, the uniform system changed from 1950 to 1955 and1962 "62" uniforms. Since then, the PLA military uniforms have been updated many times, and the 12 military uniforms have been reformed and adjusted. Military uniform graphics in the "fifth five-year plan"
After the military rank system was abolished in the Sixth Five-Year Plan 1 965 June1day, the military uniform of the Sixth Five-Year Plan was revised, and all officers and men wore liberation hats, red five-pointed star caps and red collar badges.
"July 1st" military uniform 1969, with the development of China's chemical fiber industry, developed a ternary blended single garment of polyester, nylon and cotton, and equipped the troops in 1973, which is called "July 1st" clothing. The application of synthetic fiber textiles as military clothing and fittings is an epoch-making change in the history of our military clothing development.
The "July 8" military uniform "July 8" clothing is an improved version of the "July 1" style, which aims at reducing weight and comprehensively applies the new achievements of synthetic fiber textiles.
The "Eighth Five-Year Plan" military uniform basically follows the style of 1955. Compared with the "July 8th" clothing, its obvious difference lies in the thorough upgrading of fabrics and styles.
The "August 7th" military uniform was finalized by 1987 with the approval of the Central Military Commission. 1988 10 10/month 1, the troops are equipped one after another. In addition to formal clothes, uniforms and combat uniforms, this suit is specially equipped with performance costumes of art troupe members and protocol costumes of military bands and honor guards. In addition, there are nearly 10 kinds of special clothing, such as ground service clothing, camouflage clothing, chemical protection clothing, tank clothing and aviation clothing. Type 87 shirts were distributed on 1990. 1992, the central military commission decided that civilian cadres should wear standard clothes, civilian epaulettes and tie flowers. Equipping troops with the "August 7th" series of military uniforms is a breakthrough in the history of our military uniforms.
At the beginning of 1993, our army began to develop a new generation of military uniforms for 2 1 century. The new generation of military uniforms retains the advantages of the "August 7" style clothing and absorbs the advantages of the military uniforms of advanced countries in the world. Compared with the "August 7th" military uniform, it has been greatly improved in structure, material, color, dress and collocation. In particular, the styles and colors are more beautiful, generous and harmonious, forming a three-service color system with brown-green as the main color, white and navy as the main color, and blue as the main color of the Air Force. Type 97 military uniform is divided into four series: dress, uniform, combat uniform and work clothes. Compared with the 87-style clothing, it mainly includes dresses, jacket uniforms, sweaters, physical training clothes, pull-back shoes, combat boots, international berets, and clothing signs such as ribbons, service badges, name tags and armbands.
The Type 97 military uniform was first tried on by the troops stationed in Hong Kong from 1 May 19971Sunday, and was equipped by the troops stationed in Macao from 1999. Military attaché s stationed abroad were issued with 97-style dresses, but other units of the whole army were not equipped with them.
On May 1 2000, the PLA's army, navy and air force began to uniformly distribute Type 99 long-sleeved shirts and berets, and at the same time cancelled Type 87 long-sleeved shirts that had been equipped with troops for many years. Type 99 shirt adopts advanced technologies such as spinning and stock solution dyeing. Compared with Type 87 shirt, it has been greatly improved in style, structure, material, color and processing technology, and the wearing comfort has been improved. Long-sleeved shirts are all waist-tied; Short-sleeved shirts are the tops of officers and civilian cadres and the waists of soldiers. Shirts of the army, navy and air force are the basic colors of each service. The army is light green, the navy is white and the air force is light blue, which embodies the characteristics of the three services and forms a series. The berets distributed to the officers and men of the whole army this time are the first equipment of our army. Berets are made of fine wool, and the colors are army dark brown green, navy dark blue and air force dark blue. The issue of berets has better solved the problems that officers and men used to wear large-brimmed hats in summer, which were too heavy, too hot and inconvenient to carry.
On June 5438+February 65438+February 65438+February/KLOC-0, 2004, soldiers of the China People's Liberation Army (PLA) Army, Navy and Air Force and some cadets in military schools uniformly renewed their 04 wool-like winter clothes. In May, 2005, the soldiers changed into 04 summer uniforms of the same material. At present, the type 87 worn by our soldiers is commonly used as polyester-cotton plain cloth in summer and polyester-cotton khaki cloth in winter. Type 04 soldier's clothing adopts "multi-element and different composite chemical fiber filament fabric" as the clothing fabric, which has the same appearance and texture as wool, and its warmth retention, wind resistance, air permeability and density all reach the indexes of wool, and it has good wrinkle resistance and shape retention, antistatic, washable, easy to dry and wear-resistant.
The style of 04 soldier's uniform is the same as that of 87 soldier's uniform, with a certain improvement in pattern and obvious waist. * * * 04 There are six varieties of soldiers' clothing in summer, soldiers' clothing in winter, sailors' clothing, soldiers' big-brimmed hats, sailors' hats and soldiers' winter hats. Type 04 soldiers' caps, air force soldiers' winter hats and army soldiers' summer clothes, winter hats and winter clothes were changed from grass green to brown green, type 04 navy soldiers' summer clothes, marine corps uniforms, winter hats and winter clothes were changed from navy blue to navy blue, and type 04 air force soldiers' summer clothes and winter clothes were changed from grass green under purple blue to brown green under purple blue.
For the first time, our army distributed 02 soldiers' leather shoes to soldiers except the navy and troops stationed in Hong Kong and Macao. Type 02 soldiers' men's leather shoes are black in color, with flat-headed outer ear lacing style and made of superfine fiber synthetic leather; Type 02 soldier women's leather shoes are black in color, with flat outer ear laces and cow front leather.
On 2005165438+1October1day, the Air Force began to issue 05 uniforms. The new uniform of the air force is blue and gray. The official renewal of the new uniform marks that the Air Force has a set of uniforms with its own characteristics that match its mission and tasks, ending the history that the colors of army khaki coats and navy blue trousers are not uniform for more than 50 years, and achieving consistency with the air force's work, training and combat environment.
07 style dress for male officers in the army, navy and air force
The 07-style military uniform was approved by the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, and the whole army began to change the 07-style military uniform in 2007. This is the largest dressing change in the history of our army, involving 644 varieties of dresses, uniforms, training clothes and logo clothes in four series. The color of army uniforms is adjusted to loose green, navy uniforms are adjusted to dark blue and white, and air force uniforms are appropriately deepened on the basis of dark blue and gray. The big eaves cap is warped and adjusted, and officers increase eaves (walls) flowers; Summer clothes and waist, white spring and autumn hunting clothes on land, sea and air, make the figure more slender; The military rank and seniority badge, national defense service badge and armband were added, and the navy added armband for the first time, and redesigned the uniform cap badge and collar flower of the three armed forces to reflect the honor of soldiers and strengthen the aesthetic feeling of military uniforms. China's national flag, military flag, the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square and other traditional important symbols are simply integrated into badges such as armbands, ties and badges.
The Type 07 military uniform was first equipped by troops stationed in Beijing, Hong Kong and Australia from July 1 2007, and was worn by all army officers from August 1 2007. It is expected that the whole army will be reloaded before 2009.
Nowadays, most military uniforms in the world are green (grass green, dark green or yellow-green). Why are we all moving towards green? This is summarized from the lessons of actual combat.
/kloc-At the end of 0/9, British imperialism launched a war of aggression against South Africa. At that time, there was a stubborn people in South Africa called Boers. They don't want to be ravaged by foreign invaders, so they organize themselves for armed resistance. The Boers have fewer troops and the British have more. Strength comparison between the two sides 1:5. The Boers lost at the beginning of the war. The British army prides itself on its strength and arrogance. Through a period of observation, the Boers found that the British army had a great feature. They all wear red uniforms, which stand out against the green background of South African forests, so their actions are easy to expose. Inspired by this, the Boers immediately changed their clothes into grass green and painted their guns green. In this way, the Boers used the green background of dense grass forest as a cover. It is not easy for the British to find the Boers, but the Boers can easily find the British. They often approach the British army unnoticed and suddenly attack. The British army was caught off guard, but the British army could not find the target. In this war, the British army killed and injured more than 90 thousand people and suffered heavy losses.
The lessons learned by the British in South Africa were quickly used for reference by the armies of many countries. In order to better conceal the action of troops in field conditions, people first start with clothing and constantly improve the color of military uniforms to make them as close as possible to the color of natural background. In this way, although the military clothing forms in different countries in the world are very different, the colors are gradually unified on the green tone.
Of course, nothing is absolute. From the perspective of covert camouflage, the color of military uniforms can not be limited to green. Many times the natural background is not green, so it is necessary to choose the clothing color flexibly and reasonably according to the local background conditions at that time. If in the snow, only white can be in harmony with the background; At sea, only blue can blend in with it; In the desert, only Tan is close to the background.
Clothing category
[Edit this paragraph]
According to the army, navy and air force cadres and soldiers. The summer clothes of army, navy and air force cadres are all cotton plain cloth, and the services are distinguished by clothing color and hat badge. Cadres and soldiers of the whole army wear big hats in summer. Military cadres have two pockets for digging up in their summer clothes, trousers are trousers, and there are pockets for carrying guns. There are four digging bags in the summer clothes of navy and air force cadres. Navy cadres have two kinds of clothes: white and blue. Army soldiers' summer coats are pullover-type, half-opened, with tight cuffs, two digging pockets and a tie. In order to facilitate wearing, training and fighting, 1952 was changed to front opening, loose cuffs and wearing a liberation cap. Navy soldiers' summer clothes are white and blue, and all-blue navy clothes are cotton plain cloth. The summer clothes of air force soldiers are basically the same as those of air force cadres. There are two kinds of summer dresses for female soldiers: dresses and Lenin dresses. The color of the hat and clothes is the same as that of the male soldiers in service. The styles and materials of winter clothes for cadres and soldiers of the three armed forces are the same as those of summer clothes.
1In August, 950, the Central Military Commission approved cadres above the Army Corps, cadres above the Navy and Air Force Battalion, air force paratroopers, naval vessels and naval academy students to wear this uniform. The military capabilities of some soldiers have been improved. 1The Korean War broke out on June 25th, 950. In the same year 10, the China People's Liberation Army went to the DPRK to participate in the war. The summer clothes of volunteers are the same as those of PLA cadres. A layer of cloth is added to the elbows, shoulders, hips and knees of soldiers' summer clothes, which improves the wear resistance of military uniforms. Considering the adjustment function of clothing, the winter clothing of volunteer cadres has been improved in structure. The coat cuff is provided with a trip belt, and breeches are worn to enhance warmth to adapt to the cold winter in North Korea. 1953 after the Korean armistice, the cadres and soldiers of the volunteers wore "Chinese people's Volunteer Army" cloth badges.
Five-five style
Type 55 military rank clothing is divided into two categories: formal dress and regular dress, which is the first time to break through the history of military uniforms of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Dresses are distributed to officers above the field level, who wear them on important ceremonial occasions and when visiting abroad. At the same time, there are dresses for junior officers and sailors of naval vessels, as well as dresses for military bands, honor guards, cultural and art troupes and sports teams. The officer presented a white shirt and a navy tie. Clothing colors vary with service. The dress is made of pure wool gabardine, and the collar, sleeve head and middle seam of the dress have different decorations according to different grades. The dress of female officers above the field level is a skirt. The decoration and materials are similar to those of male officers. The 55-style military rank dress has greatly improved the military capacity of officers above the field level and better demonstrated the national prestige and military prestige. Type 55 military uniform is a kind of clothing that soldiers usually wear, which is divided into summer clothes and winter clothes. Officers wear rank epaulettes and military badges when wearing uniforms; A big hat with a round "August 1st" red five-star hat badge, and armed bands of schools and junior officers. The color of the uniform varies according to the service. The materials used by officers in summer uniforms are distinguished according to their ranks. Marshal and General Xia Changfu are pure wool serge. School officials wear silk fabrics in summer and cotton twill in winter and summer.
1965, our army cancelled the rank system and immediately cancelled the 55-type rank clothing. All cadres and soldiers of the whole army wear liberation hats, red five-star hat badges and all-red collar badges.
Due to the interference of "Left" thinking, the army abolished the rank system in June 1965. The military rank clothing was cancelled immediately, and all officers and men of the China People's Liberation Army wore liberation hats, red five-star hat badges and red collar badges. The style is the same as Type 55. The clothing styles of cadres and soldiers, male soldiers and female soldiers in the whole army are basically the same, and people can only distinguish cadres from soldiers by their clothes pockets.
1978, on the basis of 7 1 military uniform, our military clothing further expanded the use of synthetic fiber materials with the main purpose of losing weight. In this paper, the fabrics of winter smocks, cotton coats and overcoats are changed into polyester card clothing, and the lining of cotton coats is changed into three-dimensional cotton fabrics. Leather hats and coats are produced with new technology, and the weight of work clothes is reduced. The improved clothing is named 78-style military uniform.
1984 65438+ 10, the central military commission approved the military uniform reform plan, and 1985 equipped the troops and named them Type 85 military uniforms. Type 85 military uniform still follows the style of Type 55 military uniform. It's just that the liberation hat was replaced by a big hat, wearing a round "August 1" red five-star hat badge and service epaulettes. Cadres and soldiers issue standard shirts. The summer clothes of cadres above the regiment level are Wilding wool, the winter clothes are breeches wool, and the coats are overcoat wool; Moreover, cadres above the corps level use pure wool, division and regiment cadres use wool and polyester blended fabrics, and cadres below the battalion level and combat use polyester, nylon and cotton ternary blended fabrics.
The "August 7th" series of clothes can be divided into three categories: formal clothes, regular clothes and training clothes.
Dress is a standard dress worn by officers in major celebrations and important foreign affairs activities. There are two kinds of summer clothes and winter clothes. This dress is a suit. With a white shirt and navy tie, the service is differentiated according to different colors and the color of dental floss sewn in pants. Materials are classified according to grades. The dress style, material and color of female officers are the same as those of male officers in their respective services, and they wear rose-red ties. The 87-style military uniform also includes the performance costumes of the art troupe, the protocol costumes of the military orchestra and the honor guard.
Uniforms are the clothes that soldiers wear in peacetime and general ceremonial occasions. There are three kinds of uniforms: summer uniforms, standard shirts and winter uniforms. Officers usually wear lapels in summer, two are in patch pocket, two are digging bags, white shirts and navy ties, and services are differentiated according to different colors. Summer clothes are made of different materials according to their ranks.
1 July 19971day, the new generation of military uniforms worn by officers and men of our army stationed in Hong Kong is the prototype of the new generation of military uniforms developed by our army. The new generation of military uniforms of our army has absorbed the advantages of military uniforms of other countries in the world, and compared with the current military uniforms, it has been greatly improved in structure, material, color, clothing, collocation and so on. In particular, the styles and colors are more beautiful and generous, forming a color series of military uniforms of the three armed forces with brown green as the main color, white and navy blue as the main color, and blue as the main color of the air force. In addition, the new generation of military uniforms also adopts the classification of international popular military uniforms, which are divided into four series according to their functions: dress, uniform, training uniform and work clothes. * * * Including dress, spring and autumn clothes, summer clothes, plush coats, training clothes, physical training clothes and their matching military shoes (boots) and clothing. Type 99 clothing is a part of the new generation of military uniforms pre-installed by 1999 troops. It mainly includes men and women of the armed forces, short-sleeved summer jackets, jackets for men and women, 92- 1 summer trousers for men and women, and berets.
design standards
[Edit this paragraph]
Every time a military uniform is designed and updated, a lot of measurement and experiment work must be carried out. When designing the "Type 84" military uniform, we collected military uniform samples from 27 countries and made field measurements on 83 regiments and 15000 soldiers of different armed forces. The "07" military uniform has also undergone a lot of measurements and experiments. According to reports, the new military uniform was modified on the basis of the military uniform of the troops stationed in Hong Kong. "This is mainly due to international integration."
According to reports, the biggest feature of this dress change is the increase of dress categories. It is reported that 1955 was awarded the title for the first time when the PLA had a ceremonial costume, which was designed according to the Soviet style and was mainly used by officers above the field level, but it was later cancelled. This is the first time to add a dress after more than 40 years. This time the hospital will be responsible for participating in the formulation of some standards. According to the person in charge of the military supplies department of the hospital, the standard of military uniform refers to the color, pattern, style, material, technology and processing flow of clothing.
Clothing development
[Edit this paragraph]
The first generation of military uniforms: Chinese tunic suit octagonal hat
The establishment of our army began with 1927 "August 1st" Nanchang Uprising. This army was wearing the clothes of the National Revolutionary Army at that time, but it was different with the red scarf. The autumn harvest uprising troops on the Hunan-Jiangxi border wore many workers and peasants' clothes and red cloth armbands.
Because people were constantly joining the Red Army, and at that time, the Red Army costumes were mainly captured by local tyrants and captured on the battlefield, the newly enlisted soldiers often wore whatever they met, and the colors and styles were very messy.
1928, the Red Army used several sewing machines captured on the battlefield to set up the first quilt factory in a ruined temple in Tiaoliao Village, Ninggang, Jiangxi. In other words, the Red Army began to have its own standard clothing.
During this period, the red army's clothing style was a gray tunic suit and octagonal hat made of coarse cloth, decorated with a red five-star hat badge and a red collar.
Commander-in-Chief Zhu De was very happy when he saw the officers and men of the army put on the first batch of uniform produced by the factory. He said meaningfully: "Although it is not as beautiful as foreign military uniforms, it is really wonderful for us."
At that time, the production conditions in the garment factory were very difficult. The white cloth used to make clothes is dyed with gray indigo, and sometimes there is no gray indigo, so we have to use tea seed shells (straw ash and other indigenous methods to color, and sewing lines are also made by workers).
Now middle-aged people in China will still remember the bust of Mao Zedong wearing an octagonal hat. That heroic spirit left a deep impression on many people. The octagonal hat and Chinese tunic suit made the image of the Red Army clearer in many people's hearts!
In difficult times-do it yourself
1937, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out in an all-round way, and the * * * production party cooperated with the Kuomintang again. The main force of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants and the guerrillas of the Southern Red Army were reorganized into the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army respectively. Their costumes were the same as those of the Kuomintang Army, and only the armbands of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were worn on their left arms to show the difference.
194 1 After the "Southern Anhui Incident", the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army troops cancelled the blue sky and white day emblem on their hats.
The Kuomintang imposed an economic blockade on the location of the troops led by Mao Zedong, and tens of thousands of officers and men in the army were in urgent need of food and clothing. In this case, Mao Zedong called for "do it yourself and have plenty of food and clothing", and the whole army launched a vigorous mass production campaign. Soldiers spin, weave, dye and make military shoes by themselves.
Women in the base areas also make clothes and shoes to support the Red Army. The front and rear are United and overcome all kinds of difficulties by perseverance, which basically ensures the supply of military uniforms.
Throughout War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the early days of the Liberation War, military uniforms did not change much. Make more changes to the small logo.
At the end of 1940s, our army was officially named "China People's Liberation Army", and the whole army took grass green as the uniform color, changed the hat into a liberation hat with a small brim, and wore the badge of "China People's Liberation Army" on the left chest.
This is the first time in the history of our army to unify clothing styles and colors.
1949 after the founding of new China, our army developed from a single service to three major services: army, navy and air force.
Since then, a series of major changes have taken place in China's military uniforms. For the first time, big hats, soldiers' pullovers and women's dresses appeared, as well as "Lenin clothes" (double-breasted). The navy adopts the world-wide sea soul shirt and pullover uniform, and the hat without brim is decorated with two streamers to distinguish the wind direction, and so on. Air Force, Navy, Armored Forces and other technical arms also have their own professional special clothing.
Since then, China's military uniform has broken away from the single pattern of Chinese tunic suit and absorbed some characteristics of foreign military uniforms.
The best military uniform-Marshal's uniform
From 65438 to 0955, our army implemented the rank system, and clothing began to be divided into dresses and uniforms, which broke through the history of single uniforms for the first time.
Marshal's uniform became the best in this period.
Although the dresses of the top ten marshals of the People's Liberation Army became an extremely noble image in the minds of the masses at that time, Mao Zedong refused to wear them all the time.
When implementing the rank system, it is planned to set the rank of China people and national marshal.
In this way, the production of marshal's uniform has become an important task of the Institute of Quartermaster Equipment of the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army. For this task, the leaders attached great importance to it, and specially dispatched embroidery technicians from Shanghai to participate in the trial production of Marshal's uniform and Marshal's uniform.
Marshal's dress is made of sea blue pure wool gabardine fabric, suit style, lapels and double-row six golden yellow national emblem buttons. Make leggings; Red tooth edges are sewn on the collar edge, sleeve head and trousers, money and pine leaves are embroidered on the collar edge and cuffs, and five-pointed stars are embroidered on the collar edge and sleeve head respectively; Marshal's hat is a big-brimmed hat, with red wool and metal ribbon on the edge of the hat tile, and a golden yellow hat buckle with national emblem pattern.
Later, when Peng and Luo Ronghuan reported the conferring work, they praised their achievements and said, "I don't want this marshal. It makes me uncomfortable to wear the uniform of the bailiff. It is not convenient to give speeches and activities among the masses. "
Therefore, the grand marshal's elaborate dress for Mao Zedong has never been worn, and it has been treasured in China Revolutionary Military Museum, and now it has become a historical relic.
"Type 65" that is popular all over the country.
1965, our army cancelled its rank, and all officers and men of the army wore the red five-star hat badge and red collar badge of the liberation hat class, and the clothing fabric was pure cotton cloth.
It is worth mentioning that military uniforms had a lot to do with the politics of China at that time.
