Medals, as a symbol of military honor, carry the glory and responsibility of soldiers. It is not only a recognition of the achievements of military personnel during their service, but also an affirmation of their personal qualities and professional abilities. Simple yet dignified in design, medallists are usually made of metal or synthetic materials and are engraved with specific patterns, words or symbols to represent the honour and achievements of the recipients.
The functions of a watch are manifold. First of all, it is a demonstration of the personal honor of military personnel. In the military, the wearing of medals is a sign of military status, which can intuitively display the honor and status of soldiers. In the formal occasions of the military, such as celebrations, parades, etc., the wearing of medals is indispensable, which reflects the dignity and majesty of soldiers.
Secondly, the medal is also a promotion of the professionalism of soldiers.

For example, some medals are engraved with a lion for bravery or a shield for loyalty, which are all affirmations and encouragement of the professionalism of soldiers.
In addition, the medal has an inspiring effect. In the military, the award of medals is a reward for the performance of soldiers, which can motivate them to continue their efforts and make greater contributions to the country and its people. At the same time, the medal is also an incentive for other soldiers, which can stimulate their sense of honor and mission, and prompt them to be on par with excellent soldiers.
The design of the watch is also of high artistic value. Designers design watches with full consideration for their aesthetics, symbolism and practicality.

Although both watches and medals are used to honor military honors, there are clear differences in their materials, designs, wearing methods, and symbolic meanings. Medals, as traditional symbols of honor, are often made of precious materials such as gold and silver, and their designs tend to be more intricate and elaborate, and they may be inlaid with precious stones or other decorative elements to show their value and importance. Medals are expensive to produce and therefore tend to be limited in number, usually awarded only on special occasions or to particularly distinguished individuals.
The weight and size of the medal tend to be larger, which to some extent may affect the actions of military personnel. Especially when physical training or combat missions are required, the wearing of medals can become a burden, limiting the freedom of movement of military personnel. In addition, the value of the medal also makes it necessary to take extra care in its storage and carrying to prevent damage or loss.
In contrast, the design of the watch is more simple and functional. Medals are usually made of lightweight materials, such as metal alloys or synthetic materials, which not only reduces the burden on the wearer, but also reduces the cost of production. The smaller size of the watch and the more symbolic than decorative design of the shape and pattern make it more visually understated, but without losing the sense of honor.
The simplified design of the watch makes it more convenient to wear. Military personnel can choose to wear different numbers and types of medals according to their rank of honor and the needs of the occasion, without worrying that they will affect their movements or cause inconvenience. The lightness of the watch makes it more suitable for everyday wear, whether it is in military training, daily work or formal occasions, it can easily display the honor of military personnel.
The usefulness of the watch is also reflected in its ease of management and maintenance. Due to the durability of the material, medals do not need to be cared for with the same care as medals. Soldiers can adjust the wearing of the watch at any time according to their needs without worrying about damage or loss. In addition, the standardized design of the medal is also convenient for the military to carry out unified management and distribution, ensuring that every soldier can receive the medal in a timely manner commensurate with his honor.
Medals and medals are also different in symbolic sense. Medals usually represent extremely high honors and achievements, and are recognition of an individual's outstanding performance in a particular field or task. The medal table reflects more of the overall honor and identity of the soldier, which is not only a recognition of personal achievements, but also an affirmation of the professionalism and dedication of the soldier. The wearing of medals enables soldiers to show their honor and identity in their daily life and work, and enhances their sense of pride and belonging.
In general, the Medal and the Medal have their own emphasis on honoring military honors, and the Medal, with its nobility and refinement, represents the highest recognition of personal achievement; The medal watch, with its practicality and simplicity, is convenient for soldiers to show their honor in daily life and work. The two complement each other and together form an important part of the army's honor system, inspiring military personnel to make greater contributions to the country and the people.
On January 28, 2023, the Chinese military ushered in an important institutional innovation - the official implementation of the "Regulations on the Management of Military Medals". The promulgation of this legal document marks a solid step forward in the management of medals and watches by the Chinese armed forces, and embodies the spirit of reform that keeps pace with the times and attaches great importance to the honor system for military personnel.
The formulation and implementation of the "Regulations on the Management of Military Medals" is the inheritance and development of the 07-style seniority medal system implemented in 2007. The 07-level seniority badge system was an important supplement to the military honor system at that time, which displayed the soldier's length of service, job grade and other information in the form of a seniority badge, and enhanced the soldier's sense of professional honor. However, with the development of the times and the needs of army building, the original system can no longer fully meet the requirements of the new situation.
The new medal system has made a series of additions and refinements on the basis of following the basic elements of the 07-level qualification badge. First of all, the new system has made a more detailed division of the classification of the medal to better reflect the different honors and achievements of military personnel. For example, the new system sets up different categories of medals according to the contributions of military personnel in different fields, such as combat medals, service medals, special contribution medals, etc., so that the awarding of medals is more targeted and differentiated.
Secondly, the new system clarifies and regulates the criteria for awarding medals. The "Regulations on the Administration of Military Medals" stipulate in detail the conditions, procedures and authority for awarding various types of medals, ensuring the fairness and seriousness of the awarding of medals. This will not only help to increase the importance of military personnel to medals, but also help to maintain the discipline and regularity of the army.
In addition, the new system also regulates the wearing, management and supervision of medals. The "Regulations on the Management of Military Medals" clarifies the wearing position, wearing occasions and wearing requirements of medals, so that soldiers can be more standardized and unified when wearing medals. At the same time, the new system also stipulates the management and supervision mechanism of medals to ensure that all aspects of the issuance, use and storage of medals can be carried out in an orderly manner.
The implementation of the new medal system also reflects the importance and improvement of the Chinese military's honor system for military personnel. Through the reform and improvement of the system, the Chinese armed forces will not only be able to better stimulate the sense of honor and mission of the soldiers, but will also be able to better display the image and demeanor of the soldiers. The implementation of the new system will help improve the professionalism and social status of military personnel, and enhance their sense of pride and belonging.
At the same time, the implementation of the new medal system is also an important part of the modernization of China's armed forces. With the continuous deepening of military reform, China's armed forces are developing in the direction of becoming more professional, regularized, and modernized. The implementation of the new merit system is an important link in this development process, which will not only help enhance the overall image of the armed forces, but also help enhance the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the armed forces.
In short, the reform of the Chinese military medal system is the inheritance and development of the original system, and the improvement and promotion of the military honor system. The implementation of the new system will help arouse the sense of honor and mission of military personnel, enhance the overall image and combat effectiveness of the armed forces, and inject new vitality into the modernization of China's armed forces.
The category and design of the Chinese medal watch is an important part of the honor system of the Chinese army, which not only reflects the honor and achievements of the soldiers, but also shows the characteristics and spirit of the Chinese army. Chinese medals are divided into several categories, each with its own unique design and symbolism to suit the needs and characteristics of different military personnel.
First of all, the categories of Chinese medals mainly include meritorious honors, length of service, service experience and job titles. The Meritorious Medal of Honor is a recognition of the outstanding contributions made by military personnel in a specific task or field, such as combat merits, scientific research merits, etc. The length of service medal is divided according to the length of service of the soldier, which reflects the loyalty and dedication of the soldier. The service experience list records the work experience of soldiers in different positions and environments, such as overseas peacekeeping, emergency rescue and disaster relief, etc. The post merit table is designed according to the rank of the soldier, showing the professional ability and leadership status of the soldier.
In terms of design, the Chinese medal pays attention to the use of red elements to highlight Chinese characteristics. As a symbol of China, red represents revolution, enthusiasm and strength. In the design of the medal, red is widely used, such as red background, red border, etc., so that the medal has a distinctive Chinese characteristics and sense of the times. At the same time, the watch may also be engraved with Chinese characteristics such as the Five Stars and the Great Wall, which further strengthens the symbolic meaning of the watch.
The design of the watch has also been subdivided to improve recognition. For example, there is a difference in design between the Command and Management Medal and the Professional and Technical Medal. The Command and Management Medal is more focused on demonstrating the leadership and management level of the soldiers, and may adopt more dignified and majestic design elements, such as shields, batons, etc. Professional and technical medals are more focused on showcasing the professional skills and innovation of military personnel, and may use more modern and technological design elements, such as gears, circuit boards, etc.
In addition, the watch has been designed with comfort and practicality in mind. In terms of material, medals are usually made of lightweight and durable materials, such as metal alloys, plastics, etc., to reduce the burden on the wearer. In terms of size, the medal watch is of a moderate size, which can not only show the honor of the soldiers, but also not be too conspicuous or affect the activities of the soldiers. In terms of wearing methods, the design of the medal watch also takes into account different occasions and needs, such as being fixed on military uniforms through pins, clips, etc., so that soldiers can wear them according to their needs.
The design of the watch also allows for a certain degree of flexibility and personalization. According to the characteristics and needs of different soldiers, the design of the medal watch can be adjusted and customized to a certain extent, such as color, pattern, text, etc. This can not only meet the individual needs of military personnel, but also better display the honor and achievements of military personnel.
In general, the category and design of the Chinese medal reflect the honor system and characteristic spirit of the Chinese army. Through meticulous classification, innovative design and humanized considerations, the medal watch has not only become a symbol of military honor, but also an important carrier to display the image and spirit of the Chinese army. With the continuous development and progress of the Chinese army, the design and application of medals and watches will also be continuously optimized and improved, so as to contribute to the modernization of the Chinese army.
There are significant differences between the merit systems of China and the United States in terms of historical origins, design concepts, and functional uses. These differences not only reflect the different trajectories of the two militaries, but also reflect the ideological and cultural characteristics of their respective countries.
The American Medal System has a long history, dating back to the American Revolution. Over time, the American honor system has evolved into a complex and comprehensive honor system. U.S. medals are not only used to recognize the merits and contributions of military personnel, but also to reflect the military skills of military personnel, their participation in specific combat operations, and their professional achievements in specific fields. There are many types of medals in the United States, including medals, medals, medals, etc., each of which has its own specific criteria and symbolic meanings.
American watches are often intricate and elaborate in design, with various motifs and words engraved on them, such as the eagle, the Star-Spangled Banner, the Liberty Bell, etc., which represent not only the national symbols of the United States, but also the values and historical traditions of the United States. There are also strict rules on how American watches are worn, and different levels of watches need to be worn in a specific order and position to reflect the honor and status of military personnel.
In contrast, China's medal system started relatively late, but it has developed rapidly and has become an important part of the honor system of the Chinese military. China's medal system focuses on reflecting the country's ideology and military culture, emphasizing the loyalty, dedication and professionalism of military personnel. There are relatively few types of medals in China, mainly including meritorious honors, length of service, service experience and job titles, each of which has its own specific design and symbolic meaning.
The design of the Chinese medal watch is simple and symbolic, usually using red as the main color, and it is engraved with Chinese characteristics such as the five stars and the Great Wall. These elements not only represent China's national symbols, but also embody the core values and spiritual pursuits of the Chinese military. Chinese medals are worn in a relatively simple way, usually according to the rank and honor level of the soldier, to show the identity and achievements of the soldier.
Functionally, the U.S. medal system is more complex, not only to recognize the merits of military personnel, but also to reflect the professional skills and combat experience of military personnel. Orders of the United States are usually awarded by the president or senior military commanders, and they are highly honorable and authoritative. China's medals, on the other hand, pay more attention to the honor and identity of soldiers, and are usually awarded by organizations at all levels of the military, which has a strong popularity and symbolism.
In addition, there are differences in the way the medal system is managed in China and the United States. The management of medals in the United States is relatively strict, and there is a special agency responsible for the awarding, management and supervision of medals. China's medal management pays more attention to standardization and unity, and ensures that the awarding and management of medals meet the requirements of the state and the military through the formulation of relevant laws and regulations.
In general, there are obvious differences in the design, function, and management of the medal system between China and the United States, and these differences reflect the different characteristics and development needs of the two militaries. With the deepening of international exchanges, the medal system of China and the United States is also constantly learning from each other, in order to better stimulate the sense of honor and mission of military personnel and enhance the overall image and combat effectiveness of the military.
