Da yuan shuai
Da yuan shuai was a Chinese military rank, usually translated as grand marshal or generalissimo.
During the early Republic of China, the rank of "grand marshal of the army and navy" was assumed by Yuan Shikai in 1913, Sun Yat-sen in 1917 and Zhang Zuolin in 1927.
The rank was replaced by the Nationalist Government with the "general special class" or "generalissimo" and awarded to Chiang Kai-shek in 1935.
The rank of "grand marshal of the People's Republic of China" was proposed after the establishment of the People's Republic, but was never conferred.
