Why can't China soldiers get tattoos?

The United States and China have different national conditions and cultural backgrounds, so they have different views on whether soldiers have tattoos. Tattoos are absolutely not allowed in China, and the physical examination of recruits is strict, which may be related to historical background. America is different. They don't care about this. If they are like us, they may really have no soldiers to recruit. Americans can tolerate sinful criminals joining the army, but not in China. We have strict requirements on the background of soldiers, which is helpful to improve the literacy and quality of the whole army. Early tattoos are some symbols that ancient people like to commemorate, show off and exorcise evil spirits. These symbols represent politics, race, faith and so on.

There was also the custom of tattooing criminals in ancient times.

Moreover, these ancient tattoos have been preserved abroad.

In modern China, except for ethnic minorities, these tattoos representing politics, race and faith have always been preserved. Because the Han people don't have much pursuit in these areas, especially religious beliefs, in modern times, especially in many movements after liberation, these tattoos have been negatively defined, so not many people in China have tattoos, so soldiers will not have them.

At present, some ethnic minorities still retain the tradition of tattooing, and all these ethnic groups have joined the Ministry. ......
