War and Popular Culture
Jennifer Altehenger. Legal Lessons
It is impossible to understand the nature of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) without considering its countless mass campaigns (qunzhong yundong) directed by the party-state since its founding in 1949. Jennifer Altehenger’s stimulating monograph Legal Lessons: Popularizing Laws in the People’s Republic of China, 1949–1989 is an attempt to address one of these campaigns: the long-running legal propaganda effort through which the Chinese Commun…
Communist Tradition and Market Forces
In recent years, five historic Chinese Communist revolutionary sites—Shanghai, Jinggangshan (Jiangxi province), Zunyi (Guizhou province), Yan’an (Shaanxi province) and Xibaibo (Hebei province)—have been labeled as the most sacred sites in the history of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) by local officials in order to promote tourism and patriotic education among young people. This widely publicized state campaign has been undertaken in an era of …

Wartime culture in Guilin, 1938–1944: a city at war, by Pingchao Zhu." Asian Studies Review, 42(3), pp. 556–557
Mao's New World
In this sweeping portrait of the political culture of the early People's Republic of China (PRC), Chang-tai Hung mines newly available sources to vividly reconstruct how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tightened its rule after taking power in 1949. With political-cultural projects such as reconstructing Tiananmen Square to celebrate the Communist Revolution; staging national parades; rewriting official histories; mounting a visual propaganda ca…
Inside a Chinese Communist Municipal Newspaper
The Beijing Daily, the flagship media outlet of the Beijing Municipal Party, was one of the most influential newspapers established in the early years of the People’s Republic of China. The newspaper’s principal purpose was to propagate the remarkable achievements of the Chinese Communist Party and to demonstrate the superiority of the Chinese socialist system over the capitalist one. Newly available archival sources reveal a depressing and distu…
Turning a Chinese Kid Red
To win the hearts and minds of the Chinese people, Chinese Communist leaders launched a series of educational reforms to instill new socialist ideas and nationalistic fervor in kindergarteners immediately after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Under the strong influence of Soviet advisers and through a number of methods (games, singing, storytelling, site visits), Chinese kindergarteners were taught the nobility of labor, t…
A Political Park
The Working People’s Cultural Palace (WPCP), formerly the Imperial Ancestral Temple, is a celebrated public park near Tiananmen Square in the center of Beijing. A closer look at the park, which was created by the government in 1950 to provide recreational activities for the local residents, reveals that it was not primarily used as a conventional urban amenity but rather as an arena for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to launch political campai…
The Cultural Palace of Nationalities
The Cultural Palace of Nationalities, one of the Ten Monumental Buildings built in 1959 in Beijing to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), is considered a ‘political building’ in that it brings together ethnicity, architecture, art, technology and, most importantly, representations of the Party-state’s policy on the unity of the many different nationalities in China. A careful examination of the…
The Anti–Unity Sect Campaign and Mass Mobilization in the Early People's Republic of China
The anti-Unity Sect campaign (1949–53), a precursor to the Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries (the zhenfan movement), was one of the Chinese Communists' most violent policies to root out a perceived evil cult in China. This article argues that the drive was never simply a religious crusade. It was essentially a mass mobilization for the purpose of consolidating the Communists' power and legitimacy. Through a host of propaganda channels, …
The Cult of the Red Martyr
Facing an increasing number of deaths among its rank and file in the wars against Japan and the Kuomintang (Nationalists), the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to promote the cult of the red martyr during the late Yan'an era, and then developed it in a systematic fashion after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. In the 1950s, the CCP cultivated the cult to honour those who had died in the revolution with commemorative pract…
Oil Paintings and Politics
In my entire life I did not produce a single painting that was uppermost in mind to create,' the celebrated painter Dong Xiwen (1914-1973) reportedly lamented on his deathbed. Dong may not have produced the dream piece that he would truly cherish, but he did create, albeit unwillingly, a deeply controversial work of art in his 1953 oil painting The Founding Ceremony of the Nation (Kaiguo dadian) (Figures 1 and 2), for it epitomizes the tension be…
The Dance of Revolution
Yangge is a popular rural dance in north China. In the Yan'an era (1936–47) the Chinese Communist Party used the art form as a political tool to influence people's thinking and to disseminate socialist images. During the early years of the People's Republic of China, the Communists introduced a simpler form of yangge in the cities. In three major yangge musicals performed in Beijing, the Party attempted to construct “a narrative history through r…
An Artistic Exile
Repainting China
On November 26, 1949, less than two months after the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the Ministry of Culture issued a directive to artists and writers about the importance and possible use in a new era of New Year prints (nianhua), a simple and inexpensive Chinese folk medium used to decorate homes in celebration of the New Year

War and Popular Culture
The Politics of Songs
Nie Er (1912-1935), a young Communist musician from Yunnan, could not possibly have imagined that when he wrote this patriotic song (with lyrics by the left-wing writer Tian Han [1898-1968]) for the 1935 filmChildren of Troubled Times (Fengyun ernü) it would soon become one of the most popular tunes in China. The overwhelming success of the song reflected a nation, long frustrated by imperialist (especially Japanese) aggression, thwarted reforms,…

War and Popular Culture
This is the first comprehensive study of popular culture in twentieth-century China, and of its political impact during the Sino-Japanese War of 1937-1945 (known in China as "The War of Resistance against Japan"). Chang-tai Hung shows in compelling detail how Chinese resisters used a variety of popular cultural forms—especially dramas, cartoons, and newspapers—to reach out to the rural audience and galvanize support for the war cause. While the N…
The Fuming Image
When Cantonese cartoonist Liao Bingxiong (1915-) mounted his show,The Cat Kingdom (Maoguo chunqiu), at the Sino-Sovfet Cultural Association (Zhong-Su wenhua xiehui) in Chongqing-China's wartime capital-in March 1946, he was prompted by more than an artistic urge: He intended to issue a strong criticism of the Guomindang (Nationalist) government for its inability to deal with the country's rapidly deteriorating situation. The show was an overwhelm…

Reeducating a Blind Storyteller
Female Symbols of Resistance in Chinese Wartime Spoken Drama
Ironically, 1937, the year that the Sino-Japanese War broke out, was also celebrated as The Year of Spoken Drama (huaju nian) in China (Xiju shidai, 1937; A Ying, 1937: 243). It was a year of chaos and paralysis, but it was also a year that profoundly changed the course and nature of modern Chinese drama. Chinese spoken drama (huaju, literally meaning speaking play, a name used to distinguish it from traditional operas), a genre born out of the i…

Paper Bullets
The publication of The Northwest Corner of China (Zhongguo de xibei jiao) in 1936 was a milestone in the history of Chinese journalism. It signified the rise of a new, down-to-earth, first-hand, and personal journalistic style in China. The book became an instant best seller, reaching its eighth printing and selling thousands of copies within a few months.' The popularity and the widespread influence of the book quickly established its young auth…

War and Peace in Feng Zikai's Wartime Cartoons
Despite repeated calls by some historians for increased dialogue between history and art history, few historical works have paid sufficient attention to art as a valuable, legitimate historical source (Rabb, 1973; Paret and Lewis, 1985). There is no question that art plays an important part in our life. It embodies a rich part of human aesthetic and imaginative experience. Studying art will illuminate areas of past history that have been left unt…

Going to the People
It is generally believed that Mao Zedong's populism was an abrupt departure from traditional Chinese thought. This study demonstrates that many of its key concepts had been developed several decades earlier by young May Fourth intellectuals, including Liu Fu, Zhou Zuoren, and Gu Jiegang. The Chinese folk-literature movement, begun at National Beijing University in 1918, changed the attitudes of Chinese intellectuals toward literature and toward t…
