中 共 宣 传 图 片 集

 

        

In Deng's opinion, these principles were basic prerequisites for achieving modernization, while at the same time ensuring that the Party had measures to fall back on when undesired developments took place in the course of the reforms. In 1982, the second of the principles was changed to "upholding the people's democratic dictatorship".

         


The principles were written into the "Preamble" of the Constitution of the PRC, which was adopted in December 1982. They remain in force until the present day. Conservatives still find great comfort in the pinciples' ability to stifle reforms that may be a threat to the Party's power. Even in the 21st century, the principles are emphasized to dispell any doubts that may exist about the Party's basic nature.





The Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) was a mass campaign of enormous dimensions. Aside from the general revolutionary high-tide that swept China, the period was marked by a large number of sub-campaigns. Indeed, whenever the situation called for a shift in orientation within the larger framework of the Cultural Revolution, this was engineered by setting in motion a new campaign. Factional struggles within the leadership also functioned as catalysts for campaigns. Often, these sub-campaigns came so hard and fast that propaganda posters had to serve as the main source of information for the people. With the country in complete chaos, these images which contained clear and unambiguous indications of what behavīor and slogans were acceptable at that particular moment, were seen as more dependable than the media. This was in particular the case in those localities where the "excellent revolutionary" situation that prevailed—according to the media, that is—had become completely unintelligible to the innocent bystander.




Locally produced posters are extremely interesting. Not only because they shed light on the local situation, but also from an artistic point of view. They are often striking in their simplicity of design and coloring, somewhat reminiscent of the block prints made in the war years. As such, they bear witness to the urgency of the times.
