The Big-Character Poster is a Weapon for Mass Participation in Management

Ts'ao Pao-mei

Chinese Economy, 1975, vol. 9, issue 1, 42-47

Abstract: In our socialist industrial enterprises, the worker masses often use the big-character poster as a medium to put forward their opinions and suggestions concerning the problems of enterprise management to the leaders. You put up a poster, and I follow suit. With more people taking part, contention abounds. The enterprises are seething with enthusiasm, and the masses are dashing forward with great energy. Spurred on by the posters, many age-old problems are quickly solved with the backing of the masses and the leadership's concern. During the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and the Campaign to Criticize Lin Piao and Rectify the Style of Work, and especially in the current struggle to criticize Lin Piao and Confucius, more and more leading cadres of industrial enterprises have further elevated their cognition of the role of the big-character poster and have voluntarily taken it to be a mighty weapon for elucidating the political line, disclosing contradiction, gauging discrepancy, expediting transformation, and strengthening business management by relying on the workers.
