Honor Guards are the elite branch of the Army, they do all the ceremony duties and not so much on fighting, but they are still a part of the Regular army.

They are existting for more than 2000 years in China.

In ancient China, they were called"禁军"or Forbidden Man.

These are not real soldiers, they are called "honor guards". They raise and lower the national flag every morning. They also "perform" during presidential or other such visits. What you recorded here is their daily marching practice.
