Big-character poster by the Red Guards of No. 2 Middle School in Beijing:

We are the critics of the old world; we want to criticize and we want to crush all old thought, old culture, old customs, and old habits. All servers of the capitalists such as barber shops, tailor shops, photograph studios, used book stalls are to be included... Odd hair styles such as "aeroplane" and "spiraling pagoda" and Hong Kong-style jeans and T-shirts, as well as pornographic pictures and publications, must be severely suppressed... Cowboy pants should become short pants, with the leftover maerial saved for mending. "Rocket shows" should be lopped off to become sandals. Highheeled shows should be flattened. Bad books and pictures should be turned into waste material...
