** 1949 January 20, 浦江清, “清华园日记（下）”, in 《清华园日记 西行日记》, Beijing: 三联书店, published 1987 June, page 260:
       Gōngzìtīng qián yǒu Jiàoliánhuì dàzìbào, chāolù guónèiwài xiāoxi, dé zì wúxiàndiàn guǎngbōzhě, yì yǒu yuánnèi xīnwén jí shèpíng děng, cífēng shèn lì, gōngjī yòupài jiàoshòu, duìyú jiàoshòu huì, xiàowù huìyì yì cháng yǒu bùjìng zhī chù. [Pinyin]
       Previously, at Gongziting, there were big-character posters from the Association of Professors. They transcribed domestic and international news from radio broadcasters, and they also had campus news and social commentary. The writing was quite incisive, attacking right-wing professors; they were also often quite disrespectful of the professors' meetings and school administration meetings.
** 1958 May, 張伏生, “名医开良方”, in 中共福建省委办公廳, editor, 《福建民歌·第一集》, Fuzhou: 福建人民出版社, page 130:
       Dàzìbào, jǐshí zhāng, zhāngzhāng dǎ zài xīnkǎn shàng, píngxīnjìngqì xiǎng yī xiǎng: shèngguò míngyī kāi liángfāng. [Pinyin]
       Big-character posters, tens of them, each one hits the bottom of the heart. Think about it with a calm mind: it is better than a renowned doctor writing an effective prescription.
** 1962 May, 楊嘯, “大字报”, in 《笛声》, Tianjin: 百花文艺出版社, page 3:
       Kěbushì ma, gāng guòmén de érxífu, xiě dàzìbào pīpíng gōnggong, jǐnguǎn shì pópo de zhǔyì ba, dàn dàodǐ shì yào yóu tā lái biān, yóu tā lái xiě ya! [Pinyin]
       Tell me about it! A daughter-in-law, who has just been married, writing a big-character poster to criticize her father-in-law — even though it's her mother-in-law's idea, in the end, it's up to her to compose and write it!
* (television) large cue card
** 2016, 傅達仁, 《達仁傳奇：不為人知的新聞與祕聞》, Taipei: 時報文化, →ISBN, page 254:
       Yǐqián diànshì zhǔbō de “dàzìbào” shì shǒuxiě de, cǎo de lìhài, shǐ wǒ bǎ “yīng” guó nǚwáng, bào chéng “měi” guó nǚwáng Yīlìshābái chādiǎn bèi diànhuà màbì. [Pinyin]
       Before, the "cue cards" for TV anchors were handwritten. The writing was terribly sloppy, causing me to read the Queen of the U"K" as Queen Elizabeth of the U"S", and I almost died from people phoning in to tell me off.

       She revealed that December 10 last year, at around 6:30 am, when she was about to go out, she discovered that someone splashed red paint on the garage door at her home in Taman Bukit Mewah. Two cars, parked at the frontyard of the house and on the roadside outside of the house were also met with disaster. The culprits left a notice, threatening that if the victim would not ask her sister to come out and pay her debt, they would burn the victim's whole house down next time.

       However, when the guests were taking a group photo on stage at the end of the event, a woman, thought to be from Mainland China, crossed the barrier on the first floor of the mall and held up a placard which read 'Seeking Kindness'. She expressed that she wanted to borrow one million dollars from [Hong Kong actor] Louis Koo because her father was seriously ill, even though the guests were completely unaware of this situation at the time. But as the woman appeared to be about to take further action, several security guards quickly worked together to subdue her and take her away.
