| A building being covered by Da-Zi-Bao |
The da-zi-bao was a way to expose and embarrass people who were against Mao. It was a written form of an insult. It was meant to point out all of the bad things about a person, an item, a store, or anything for that matter. Students had to write them about their teachers. In Red Scarf Girl, Ji-Li has some trouble about writing one about her teacher for the first time and instead, she copies one from a newspaper article. We are also given the image that practically everything had something bad written about it and on it.
