About the Cultural Revolution The Cultural Revolution was a period of widespread social and political upheaval in the People’s Republic of China between 1966 and 1976, resulting in nation-wide chaos and economic disarray. MAO Zedong ( MAO Tse-tung),chairman of the Chinese Communist Party ， launched this movement on May 16, 1966 and claimed that "liberal bourgeois" elements were permeating the Party and society at large and they were trying to restore capitalism in China. MAO insisted that these persons be removed through post-revolutionary class struggle by mobilizing the thoughts and actions of China ’s youth, who formed Red Guards groups the country over. The movement soon spread into the military forces, the workers, and the party leadership itself. Although Mao himself officially declared the Cultural Revolution to have ended in 1969, yet today it is widely believed that the power struggles and political instability between 1969 and the smashing of the Gang of Four(Jiang Qing, Mao's wife, being its leader) and the death of Mao Zedong in 1976 were also part of the Revolution itself. MAO’s Cultural Revolution "Collecting Fever" The Cultural Revolution Collecting Fever embodies four characteristics: I. Due to the nation-wide chaos, many cultural heritages suddenly disappeared during this special period of time and after the end of the Cultural Revolution, on account of the suffering people’s detest for the movement, a huge number of Cultural Revolution heritage articles were thrown off as rubbish. The shrinking number of the Cultural Revolution heritage items resulted from the discarding by the whole nation. Only a few narrowly escaped this chaos. They gradually have greater rarity value. II. The Cultural Revolution articles almost all have the revolutionary signs and symbols, namely, the Cultural Revolution images, pictures, or words, such as MAO pin badges, MAO’s works, quotations (Red Books), model Beijing (Peking) opera characters, revolutionary songs, the movement leaders, revolutionary slogans, revolutionary heroes and the movement appeals. III. The Revolution collections are divided into several different parts-- porcelain, stamps, paper items and appliances articles. Among them paper items can still be divided into revolutionary publicizing pictures, newspapers, documents, picture books, MAO’s works, quotations (Red Books), various certificates of merit, special certificates, working ID and cards, tickets and coupons, etc. Besides, the Cultural Revolution stamps are also very popular among collectors.
