{{Main|Yuan Shuai}}
During [[Imperial era of Chinese history|Imperial rule]] in China, different dynasties gave different titles to generals. A very similar title is "司馬" ([[Sima (office)|sima]]) in the Eastern Han dynasty, which literally means "master of horse", and later became a two-character surname too. "司馬" is one of the [[Three Excellencies]] in Eastern Han, who is in charge of the country's military affairs. Later, a more common title for a field marshal or a commandant was (元帥 ''[[Yuan Shuai]]'') or [[grand marshal|grand field marshal]] (大元帥 ''da yuan shuai''). One of the most famous of these generals was [[Yue Fei]] from the [[Song dynasty]]. Since the [[People's Republic of China]] was established in 1949, it has promoted 10 military commanders to the rank of marshal, all in 1955 and abolished in 1965. Since then, the rank has remained defunct. The last Chinese marshal, Nie Rongzhen, died in 1992.
