Haitian Eagle: What is the "mosaic" on Qin Dadi's chest? Teach you how to read seniority chapters

"Haitian Eagle" is a rare military drama that reflects the combat life of the Navy in recent years, and it is also the first military drama on the mainland with the theme of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft. According to netizens, this is a rare "dinner drama", which is worth savoring slowly. To a certain extent, "Haitian Eagle" is a "recruitment propaganda film" that is applauded and acclaimed. The characters in the play are three-dimensional, with angular personalities, especially Qin Dadi played by Hou Jun is impressive.

Qin Dadi is a meritorious pilot of the Navy and a well-deserved "air king" in the eyes of his juniors. When the army needed it, Qin Dadi gave up his small family for everyone and resolutely shouldered the heavy responsibility of the test flight team. Faced with all kinds of complex and changeable test flight tasks, Qin Dadi led by example and charged forward until he sacrificed his life. Qin Dadi is just a microcosm of the process of forming the combat effectiveness of the Liaoning carrier-based aircraft, and there are many more similar stories.

However, many people are still confused. Some netizens who have a certain amount of military knowledge pointed out that the crew of "Haitian Eagle" is not in service and is not equipped with a 23-style medal watch on their chests. In fact, netizens who hold this statement only recognize half of the problem: the plot is set before the Liaoning ship was put into service, and at that time our army was equipped with a Type 07 seniority badge. If the crew distributes 23-style medals, it will really be a big goof. Although the Type 07 Seniority Medal has some of the functions of a medallist, it still cannot be equated with a medallist.

Whether it is a medal or a seniority medal, for non-military fans who watch "Haitian Eagle", there is just a bunch of "mosaics" in their eyes. The author will take the seniority badge worn on Qin Dadi's chest as the starting point to teach you how to look at the seniority badge.

Before that, I would like to briefly talk about the basic situation of the qualifications chapter. In September 1955, the whole army implemented the rank system for the first time, and it was already in mind to be in line with the world. During this historical period, the medals and medals awarded by our army, such as the "August 1 Medal", the "Medal of Independence and Freedom", and the "Liberation Medal", were all designed with corresponding medal regulations. However, the system of medals and watches in our army is not perfect, and there are very few cases of wearing medals.

In 1965, after the abolition of the military rank system in our army, there was no way to talk about the medal system. In 1988, our army implemented a new military rank system, and there are also relevant regulations on medals, but on the whole it is still incomplete. In August 2007, our army launched the 07 military uniform, which is a classic military uniform with a high degree of integration with the world and with the characteristics of our army. Compared with the previous standard military uniforms, the most prominent feature of the 07 military uniform is the design of a transitional level seniority badge.

The reason why the 07-level seniority badge has a transitional nature is that it has only two functions, that is, to indicate the officer level and the length of service. According to these two functions, and combined with the "mosaic" on Qin Dadi's chest, the author will teach you how to recognize the qualifications chapter, as follows:

(1) Methods for identifying levels;

The 07-style level qualification chapter is relatively simple and clear for the distinction of levels, mainly looking at the number of five stars, the background color of the chapter and the number of rows. It looks complicated, but it's not complicated at all, and let me tell you about it in detail.

First of all, two five-pointed stars are the main position, one five-pointed star is the deputy position, and the main post below the military region level, the deputy military post and above are golden five-star, and the main division below the silver-white five-star. In this context, the principal (deputy) position refers to the military rank. The ranks of our army are from small to large, which are platoon level (1 star), deputy company level, company level, deputy battalion level, main battalion level, deputy regiment level, main regiment level, deputy division level, full division level, deputy army level, regular army level, deputy military region level, Zhengda military region level, member of the Central Military Commission, and member of the Central Military Commission.

Knowing that the five-pointed star of Qin Dadi is a star, it can be inferred that he is a deputy position, and the next thing is to see which level of deputy position, which involves the background color of the chapter and the number of rows. The key points are drawn, and the correspondence between the military rank level and the background color of the chapter and the number of platoons is 7 platoons (lemon yellow) above the members of the Central Military Commission, 6 platoons (orange) at the main and deputy military district levels, 5 platoons at the principal and deputy military level (earth yellow), 4 platoons at the main and deputy division level (red), 3 platoons at the regimental and deputy regiment level (purple), 2 platoons at the main and deputy battalion level (blue) and 1 platoon at the company and platoon level (grass green).

With the above foundation, let's recognize the level of Qin Dadi, counting the number of rows of Qin Dadi is 4 rows, we can know that he is at the level of the main and deputy divisions. Combined with the brief chapter of the rank of Qin Dadi's star deputy position, it can be further inferred that he is a deputy division-level colonel.

(2) Identification methods for the number of years;

The 07-style seniority chapter indicates the "chapter" of the number of years, and the official title should be "military age chapter". According to the number of years, the military age chapter can be further divided into 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, 10 years (chapters) and supplementary chapters, as shown in the following figure:

▲ Brief division of military age and style diagram

Among them, the decorative chapter is the most special and is rarely used. If it is used, it is mainly used as a supplement and decoration, appearing on both sides of the bottom row. According to the specifications for the use of the 07-style level qualification badge, the decorative chapter should be avoided as much as possible to be reused, and in principle, no more than 2 pieces.

According to Qin Dadi's seniority chapter, it is obvious that there is no such thing as a decorative chapter. In this case, it is much easier for us to infer the military age of Qin Dadi. The author will take you to refer to the hierarchical division and style chart of the military age chapter, and then combine the seniority chapter of Qin Dadi to calculate his military age.

According to the information provided in the picture above, the translated vernacular of each platoon is as follows:

First row

1st year chapter, 2nd year chapter;

Second row

3-year chapter, 4-year chapter, 1-year chapter;

Third row

2-year chapters, 3-year chapters, 4-year chapters;

Fourth row

1 year chapter, 2 year chapter, 1 year chapter.

The next addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, I don't need the author to calculate it for you. Through conversion, it can be seen that the military age of Qin Dadi is 24 years. According to the details provided in the play, Qin Dadi is 44 years old, and it can be known that he joined the army at the age of 20. Due to the particularity of pilot training, they are all top students selected from the college entrance examination, and the selection in all aspects is very harsh. This detail is very intriguing, and it vaguely explains the hard work that Qin Dadi made in order to pursue his dreams.

If we push the time forward, we can roughly infer that Qin Dadi took the college entrance examination in the mid-eighties of the last century. You must know that going to a junior college back then was already the pride of the sky, let alone being admitted to a military school as a pilot. In the play, Qin Dadi's enlistment age is designed to be 20 years old, which is in line with the actual situation of the year, and it also fully reflects our army's caution in selecting and using talents. It also reflects from the side that Qin Dadi is a person who is willing to work hard, and the hardships behind the reputation of "Air King" are unimaginable to ordinary people.

From the above, it can be seen that the 07-level seniority chapter seems to have a single function, but there are many doorways in it. What is unacceptable is that Qin Dadi died heroically in the process of carrying out his mission. If Qin Dadi had not sacrificed, he had been fighting in the army and his life was constantly improving. Perhaps, Qin Dadi still has hope to wear the 23-type medal. Presumably, the medal watch will also reflect the honors won by Qin Dadi in the service of the test flight team. However, this is just wishful thinking on the part of the audience.

What the author needs to say more is that the design of the 23-style medal is more exquisite, and it more completely reflects the military service experience and honors. As for how to identify and distinguish the 23-style medals, this is another topic.
