Marshals have a larger rank than generals. In China, marshal is a military rank higher than a general. The ranks of generals include brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, general, general, etc. Field Marshal is generally a military rank conferred in times of war to recognize military leaders who have made outstanding contributions in the war. In peacetime, the rank of marshal is not usually awarded.
In the history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Marshal is the highest military rank established when the military rank system was first introduced in 1955. Later, when the military rank system was reinstated in 1988, the two highest military ranks, marshal and general, were not re-established, but were established as the new highest military rank.
The rank of general existed throughout the period, and it was a common term for senior officers. In China, the rank of general includes the rank of general, lieutenant general, major general, etc. Among them, the general is divided into two ranks, the general and the general general, but in the actual award, the general is not used.
In the rank system of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, marshal is the highest military rank, and general is a senior military rank. Specifically, under the marshal is the general, under the general is the general, under the general is the lieutenant general, and below the lieutenant general is the major general. Such a system of military ranks reflects the rank and responsibilities of the leaders of the army.
The establishment of marshal and general did not reappear after the reinstatement of the military rank system in 1988, but the rank of general was the highest active military rank. This means that in the current Chinese People's Liberation Army, general is the highest active military rank, while general is the general term for those high-ranking officers who have reached a certain rank.
In history, the rank of marshal was mainly awarded in 1955 during the first military rank system, and a total of ten military leaders were awarded the title of marshal, they are: **The rank of marshal is an honorary title, usually awarded only in special historical periods and special historical backgrounds, to recognize those military leaders who have made great contributions to national independence, national liberation and national defense construction.
Over time, the military rank system will also be adjusted according to the needs of the country and the realities of military development. For example, when the military rank system was reinstated in 1988, China abolished the two highest military ranks, marshal and general, and instead established the rank of general as the highest military rank, and at the same time set up the rank of general for officers of the Zhengda Military Region, lieutenant general for officers at the level of deputy military regions, and major generals for officers at the division level. Such a setup is more in line with the needs of peacetime army building.
In the modern military, the rank of general usually refers to those high-ranking officers who hold important command positions and have high military command ability and extensive military experience. The attainment of the rank of general usually means that the officer has made significant achievements and contributions in his or her career.
In general, marshal is historically the highest military rank above a general, while in the current rank system, general is the general title for senior officers, and general is the current highest active military rank. The specific setting of military ranks and the criteria for awarding them will be constantly adjusted with the development of the times and the needs of army building.
