The message of this poster is straightforward as it says &#8220;\u8a93\u4e0e\u56fd\u571f\u5171\u5b58\u4ea1&#8221;, which means &#8220;Swear to defend the nation to the death&#8221; at the bottom of the poster. This poster portrays a dedicated soldier standing tall on the wall with a rifle in his hand and looking into the distance. Another thing to notice is the soldier&#8217;s helmet. It resembles the iconic Stahlhelm used in the German Armies both in WWI and WWII. This doesn&#8217;t mean the soldier is from Germany; the German heritage of his equipment is because the Nationalist Party and German had decades-long friendship even before WWII. Therefore many Nationalist Party&#8217;s soldiers used German equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The use of black and red on this poster makes the viewer feel the tension and seriousness of war with the words telling people to defend their homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chineseposters.net\/gallery\/e15-687\">https:\/\/chineseposters.net\/gallery\/e15-687<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Designer unknown (\u4f5a\u540d)Ca. 1937Swear to defend the nation to the deathShiyu guotu gong cun wang\u00a0(\u8a93\u4e0e\u56fd\u571f\u5171\u5b58\u4ea1)Publisher: Junweihui zhengzhibu (\u8ecd\u59d4\u6703\u653f\u6cbb\u90e8)Size: 80&#215;52 cm.Call&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[12],"class_list":["post-785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-image","tag-china","wpcat-18-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=785"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":786,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785\/revisions\/786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
