{{noref|section|date=September 2023}}

Under the rank system in place in the PLA in the era 1955–1965, there existed the rank of {{lang|zh-Latn|dajiang}} ({{zh|s=大将|l=Grand commander}}). This rank was awarded to 10 of the veteran leaders of the PLA in 1955 and never conferred again. It was considered equivalent to the Soviet rank of army general. The decision to name the equivalent rank {{lang|zh-Latn|yiji shangjiang}} ({{zh|s=一级上将|l=Upper commander first class}}) when it was briefly re-established in 1988-1994 was likely due to a desire to keep the rank of {{lang|zh-Latn|dajiang}} an honorary one awarded after a war, much as General of the Armies in the United States Army. It was offered to Deng Xiaoping who declined the new rank. Thus it was never conferred and scrapped in 1994.
