A poster from southern China. 1969, publishing and printing by the Revolutionary Committee of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, issued by the Chairman Mao's works edition office, in Guizhou district. Its headline base on Mao's quotation said to the Red Guard the major youth: " You should be concerned about national affairs, conducted in the end of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution." The Cultural Revolution which took place between circa 1966 and 1976 was a social/ political movement. Mao Tse Tung, then Chairman of the ruling Communist Party started this movement to reinforce strict  communist dogma. Capitalism and traditional Chinese culture were to be obliterated. Big-character posters were used to denounce people as opponents of the Revolution. Red Guards (pupils and students who swear loyalty to Mao and his Little Red Book) destroy anything that is branded 'old' and eliminate people considered 'rightists'. The posters also were part of the campaign to respond to particular issues as they arose locally or nationally. The Cultural Revolution plunges China  into turmoil and internal strife; the country is in chaos, but the posters only show enthusiasm. Approx. 20x30 inches. Good collectible shape. Small wrinkling a the edges.
