dazibao

plural dazibaos

1. A wall-mounted newspaper or similar, used as a form of protest, propaganda, and popular communication in China.

   There are also artifacts like a poster called a dazibao, from 1968. The big Chinese characters on the poster form political slogans and names of public enemies. The names crossed off in red represent people who were executed, Ms. Shannon said.
