Features: Old propaganda posters are works of art combining calligraphy and painting, representing a silent visual art. They are products of a specific era, with an artistic style that is unique and unparalleled. They depict historical events associated with the red celebration of the Chinese New Year, covering a rich and diverse range of content that touches on politics, economy, science and technology, culture, folklore, and society, serving as valuable historical materials for studying the image of modern China. With the end of the Cultural Revolution, old propaganda posters have largely fulfilled their historical mission. For those who lived through that era, seeing Cultural Revolution propaganda posters often evokes memories of the past. Most middle-aged and elderly people have forgotten the unpleasant history of that time, yet they cherish the simple and sincere emotions of those special years. As a result, collectors are often willing to pay any price, driving up the market value of old propaganda posters.
