1966年夏天发生在神州大地上的那场史无前例的无产阶级文化大革命,人们对此仍然记忆犹新。美术出版物作为当时御用的政治工具,可谓是那场政治浩劫的“历史见证”。 事由是这年6月6日,《人民日报》转载《解放军报》发表的《高举毛泽东思想伟大红旗,把无产阶级文化大革命进行到底——关于文化大革命的宣传教育要点》一文,将出版物的面貌定格在“突出政治”的明确位置。之后,各类报刊每天都用醒目的大号字体作通栏标题,并且以大量篇幅宣传对毛泽东的个人崇拜,舆论宣传的政治化倾向日显突出和加剧。 是年8月18日,毛泽东在天安门广场首次检阅红卫兵,那放纵的狂欢场面留给人们的印象激动而久远,也就是通过这次接见,确立了红卫兵在这场运动中的先锋作用和政治地位。于是,用锐利思想武装起来的红卫兵小将走向造反队伍的最前列,“拿起笔作刀枪”,向所谓的旧思想、旧文化、旧风俗、旧习惯发起了猛烈的攻击和声 The unprecedented proletarian cultural revolution that took place on the land of China in the summer of 1966 still remains fresh in its memory.

On August 18, Mao Zedong first reviewed the Red Guards in Tiananmen Square. The indulgent scene of carnival left people with an impressing impression. Through this interview, he established the avant-garde role of the Red Guards in this campaign and Political status. As a result, young Red Guards armed with sharp ideas moved to the forefront of the rebel forces and “picked up their penciled guns” to launch a fierce attack on the so-called old ideas, old cultures, old customs and old habits
