Not sure if this reference site has been posted but a pretty good reference with a lot of good WWII info on various countries. http://ww2data.blogspot.com/2016/01/soviet-satellite-country-ammunition.html
Here is some photos from the Chinese ammo and it had a lot of translated terms that may come in handy.

Nice Bunker.... I bet RM will be interested for sure as he has been looking at the chinese ammo box markings etc for some time now. thumb1
Definitely! thumb1
This is great stuff! It's nice to know that even in the pre Mao days, they had the factory marking on the outside of the crate. Old habits die hard, and despite the civil war and regime change after the end of WWII, the markings really seem to have remained fairly consistent.
Agreed! Very nice find, Bunker !

There are times when two of the Chinese characters came together to form the word. An example of this is the word "automatic" which in Chinese is zi+dong, also "rifle" which is bu+qiang, and "bullet" which is zi+dan.
