According to international practice, the salute is divided into two types: celebration salute and welcome salute. The welcoming ceremonial salute is a kind of highest-level courtesy on the grand ceremony. Where the head of state, the number of sings is 21; when the head of the foreign government is welcomed, it is sung by 19 rings. China’s commemorative slogan began on June 13, 1961 to welcome Indonesian President Sukarno’s ceremony. Before President Sukarno’s second visit to China, he proposed that China should send eight fighter jets to escort the Air Force before the president’s special plane arrived at the airport. At the welcome ceremony of the airport, the 21-gun salute was broadcast according to the international welcome of the head of state. .
Since the Chinese government has never heard a welcome salute after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Premier Zhou Enlai handed over the task of firing the salute to the guardian of Yiwei District, Beijing. Wang Litang, the battalion commander of Yilong Camp, took a selection of 24 salutes from the 108-door salute of the founding ceremony preserved in the gunhouse of the Tiananmen Management Office. The soldiers were temporarily organized to train and successfully completed the task. In the event of the National Guest after this, there was still no welcoming salute. In order to establish our salute units, the courtesy etiquette is more in line with international practice. In June 1963, Premier Zhou Enlai instructed the Central Security Guard to build a salute. The commander Zeng Shaodong handed over the task of setting up the salute and guns to the Yilu Camp. The higher-level organs will carry out the 126 regiment of a certain army of the founding ceremony, and the 126 regiments familiar with the business will be transferred to Yiluying, Niu Maolin as the company commander, and another 3 platoon leaders. And 24 gunners, all from this unit. In addition, dozens of people were transferred from the other divisions of the division and the Yilong camp to form a salute.
The 94-type mountain cannons, which had achieved outstanding achievements in the war years and had already been retired, were re-commissioned from the warehouse because of their short guns, easy handling, and loud sounds. 6 horses pulled 28 guns to the Nanyuan Yihao camp. In order to make the salute sound tidy, the ordnance department was specially organized to improve the launching device of the artillery. The beginning is a manual fire, and the latter is improved to electric manipulation. On May 16, 1964, the Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Abboud, was the first national guest to be officially greeted by salute.
