Publisher’s statement [at bottom right]: Wind and thunder shake, standards and banners are raised, such is the world of men [two lines from Mao’s 1965 poem “Chongshang Jinggangshan” (Reascending Jinggangshan), first released in January 1976]
The great struggle to counter-attack the rightist wind to overturn verdicts personally launched and led by the Great Leader Chairman Mao is in the process of deepening and development. The unrepentant capitalist-roader within the Party has thrown forth the revisionist agenda of “taking the three directives as the key,” and stirred up a rightist wind to overturn verdicts, attacking Chairman Mao’s proletarian revolutionary line, counter-attacking and settling old scores with the proletariat, overturning the verdict on the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, and scheming to achieve the heinous goal of restoring capitalism.
In order to protect Chairman Mao’s revolutionary line, to consolidate and develop the great achievements of the Cultural Revolution and the movement to Criticize Lin Biao and Confucius, and to exercise comprehensive dictatorship over the bourgeoisie, Yangquan’s worker-artists have taken up their paint-brushes and created a number of fine-arts big-character posters and propaganda paintings, posting them throughout factories and mines, and thereby forcefully condemned the revisionist line of the unrepentant capitalist-roader within the Party, to give a powerful rejoinder to the rightist wind to overturn verdicts! We have made a selection from them to be used as headers for reports and to be displayed.
[signed] The editors. March 1976.

[Wording at upper left:] An introduction to Dazhai. Dazhai is a red flag erected by Chairman Mao himself, is a model of keeping to the Party's basic line, maintaining the revolution under dictatorship of proletariat, and developing the socialist countryside in a "more, faster, better, and more economical " way. In 1964, Chairman Mao made the great call "In agriculture, learn from Dazhai," which pointed the way for hundreds of millions of peasants to develop our socialist agriculture under the guidance of the Party's basic line. Dazhai is a production brigade in Dazhai Commune in Xiyang County in Shanxi province, located under Tiger Head mountain in the Taihang mountain range. The area is two square kilometers. The group has eighty three households, with a population of around four hundred and fifty people, on 846 mu [approx 150 acres] of land. Before liberation, Dazhai was a place of poor villages, poor land and poor people. The poor and lower-middle peasants suffered from the oppression and exploitation of imperialism, the Guomingdang [Nationalist government] reactionaries, and the landlords and rich peasants, suffered hunger and cold, many of them were forced to sell their sons and daughters, their families ruined and their people dead. Natural conditions were also unfavourable, "High mountains with too many rocks, climbing steep slopes when leaving the house, no piece of flat ground over three feet, many disasters year after year." After Xiyang county was liberated in 1945, the red sun shone over Dazhai, and from that point the people have marched forward along Chairman Mao's golden road. For more than 30 years, the Party branch of Dazhai has always maintained the importance of class struggle, maintained the Party's basic line, maintained the dictatorship of the proletariat, maintained using Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought to educate peasants, and kept to the socialist road. The Party branch has led the commune members in promoting the spirit of "self reliance and hard struggle," and has transformed the poor backward old Dazhai into the new Dazhai of "new people, new things, new thinking, new land, new villages and new output." Standing on the Tiger Head Mountain, a beautiful landscape stretches as far as the eye can see. Seven gullies, and each gully is fertile farmland. Stone embankments protect fertile man-made level fields. Eight ridges, and every ridge is good land; dikes surround Dazhai's level fields. A slope has terraced land tier upon tier, from the bottom of the hill to half way up the hill. Two waterways wind through hills and gullies. The cascade of Unity Stream is magnificent as it flies between hills. Circular Pond reflects the blue sky, man-made flatlands as lush as Jiangnan [the fertile region south of the Yangtze River]. Power lines criss-cross; transport cables move things up and down through the air. On roads and in the fields, tractors and cars speed to and fro. Machines hum on the threshing ground; motors roar up and down hills. Grain production in Dazhai is improving every year. From 1953 to 1958, yield per mu increased from 250 jin to 540 jin, crossing the "Yellow River". In 1964, yield per mu was 809 jin, crossing the "Yangtze River". In 1971, yield per mu was more than 1000 jin and in 1975, yield per mu reached 1100 jin. Tiger Mountain was desolate before, but is now covered with green. Apple trees, pear trees, grape trellis, walnut trees and persimmon trees are planted all over the hills. Livestock barns and piggeries have been built outside the village, and sideline enterprises have been developed to serve agricultural production, such as a flour mills, a brickyard, a limekiln, metal and wood shops. Dazhai's collective economy has grown continually, contributing more and more to the state, and constantly improving commune members' lives. Since Dazhai became a people's commune, it has sold 254,000 jin surplus grain to the state every year. Between 1971 and 1975, it sold an average of 330,000 jin every year, with a peak of 400,000 jin. Looking at Dazhai Village again, rows of brand new bluestone homes, spacious and bright. Houses roofed in red tile look neat and elegant. There are also clinics, nurseries, kindergartens, political night schools, culture rooms, and libraries. There are touching and flourishing images to be seen everywhere. Revolution has changed the face of Dazhai; revolution is tempering Dazhai's people; the new revolutionary generation is even more filled with youthful spirit. Dazhai's heroic people are resolved, under the leadership of the Party Central Committee headed by Chairman Hua Guofeng, to hold high the great banner of Chairman Mao, to follow the line of 11th Party's Congress, to foster the spirit of hard work and self-reliance, and to continue to draw even new and even more beautiful pictures on this piece of land.
