The Order of National Glory (Chinese: Ã¥ÂÂå Âå³章; pinyin: GuóguÃÂng Xà «nzhÃÂng) is the highest military award of the Republic of China Armed Forces, the army of the Republic of China (Taiwan).
The order was instituted on November 8, 1937, during the early stages of the Second Sino-Japanese War to recognize exceptional merit in safeguarding the nation. Only a few individuals have received this honor, including Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin, and Fu Zuoyi.
The insignia is a golden eight-pointed star, with a red Maltese cross and plum blossom between the arms of the cross; inside the cross is a depiction of an eagle with its wings outstretched, often accompanied by a red, white, and blue sash worn over the right shoulder.
