Literature
Literature boomed during the cultural revolution styles had been created but not good ones. The little red book was one printed millions of times. This type of literature was filled with chairman Mao's sayings. this book was memorized, taught, it was like the bible to them. Another type of literature was called a Da-zi-bao: a sign that disgraced innocent people. The signs allowed people to blame others that have wronged them or were jealous of them. The innocent were even made to say the Da-zi-bao's written about them out loud in front of everyone so they could be exposed to ridicule.
Art
Some of the mot popular art during the revolution were propaganda of non-other than chairman Mao. Paintings of Mao saving china were plaster, re-plastered, and plastered all over the walls of the city, people had in their homes only to remind (brainwash) people of whom they should trust. All of it was just a part of Maoism where chairman Mao was the the deity. Even though when Mao took power he ruled out religon.
Music
Music during the cultural revolution mostly revovled around the jors of chairman mao. chants about redguards and pledging their loyalty to chairman mao. Other types of music were about how communism fought against the evils of the old capitalist ways.
