Traditional operas were changed into Model Operas. Masters who specialized in making paper possessions to accompany the dead into the afterworld were forced to make dunce caps for the victims of struggle sessions who roamed the streets. Temples were turned into schools or factories.
傳統戲曲改唱樣板戲，作紙紮的老師傅改糊批鬥遊街用的「高帽子」，寺廟改為學校或工廠。
