Ancient military slogans

The most famous slogan in history is the "gale" of the army during the Qin Dynasty. Gale is an auspicious word, which means that the wind is good, archery is good, and Qin Jun is as strong as gale.

In fact, there were almost no slogans in China's ancient army, mainly because most people in the army were only temporarily recruited farmers and had little military training, so it didn't matter whether there were slogans or not. Sometimes it's a bad thing to have a slogan. For example, before the Battle of Feishui, the State of Qin was defeated by a slogan (rumors are ok).

During the Song and Ming Dynasties, professional soldiers appeared in China. This kind of military service is lifelong, so it is more convenient to command with slogans than with gongs and drums. The gongs and drums are loud and the flags are high and eye-catching.

Slogans such as "Pay attention to urgent marching" came into being in Yuan Shikai's station training.
