At the time of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, many works of this kind had been produced on the mainland, although they were not written down. Instead it was an oral literature, and only occasionally was it secretly printed and copied for distribution.
其實早在文化大革命期間，大陸上即有這類文藝作品產生，只是未曾大量印行，多半是口口相傳或一些手繕本，有許多且曾輾轉流出鐵幕。
