Summary

Description

Big-character posters are handwritten, wall-mounted posters using large-sized Chinese characters, used as a means of protest, propaganda, and popular communication. They have been used in China since imperial times, but became more common when literacy rates rose after the Xinhai Revolution. They have also incorporated limited-circulation newspapers, excerpted press articles, and pamphlets intended for public display.

This photo was taken in the context of a three-week study tour in August 1976 in the People's Republic of China . At the excursion participated 24 members of the Department of Spatial Planning of the University of Dortmund .


The Chinese travel agency proposed us a route, which took us to the cities Guangzhou, Shanghai , Nanjing, Xian , Chengchow , Hsinhsiang and Beijing . We also visited several people's communes in various parts of the country
