The so-called model opera is a special word in the "Cultural Revolution", and it is a title given by Jiang Qing and others who regarded a batch of literary and artistic works at that time as representatives of opening up a new era of proletarian literature and art. "

Reasons for the appearance of model operas:

1. Model operas are the continuation of the New Literature Movement since the May 4th Movement.

Second, the revolutionary struggle and the need to consolidate political power at that time.

3. Since the publication of "Speech at Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art", the * * * Production Party has been trying to create its own literature, taking literature as a tool for revolution and construction. Therefore, various model operas, such as revolutionary modern Peking Opera, came into being. But it was later used by Jiang Qing as a tool for gang literature and art.
