Tips

culture
An iconic image of Chinese revolutionary cinema and Long March memory, the bugler whose horn signals reveille, charge, or retreat. The phrase 吹响...的号角 ('to sound the bugle of...') is a fixed metaphor for kicking off a campaign or movement; 军号 is the literal version.
memory
(army) + (horn/signal), 'army horn'. Same as in 号角 (horn). Don't confuse with administrative contexts where means 'number' (uncommon).
