The era of Communist China and the Cultural Revolution

Communism China and the Cultural Revolution (1949 - 1976) was an important period in China's history. The ongoing conflict between the Chinese Communist Party and Kuomintang (KMT) brought China's civil war (1945-1949). In 1949, the Chinese Communist Party, which had been working closely with the Soviet Union, defeated the Kuomintang and dominated the mainland China. Mao Zedong, the leader of the Communist Party of China, established the People's Republic of China and today it is known as the Communist Party of China ("Chinese history").

The Cultural Revolution was officially the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and was a social and political movement in China from 1966 to 1976. A clear goal, launched by the Chinese Communist Party chair Mao Zedong, is to maintain "real" communism ideology in the country. Remove the remains of capitalism and traditional elements from the Chinese society and strengthen Mao Zedong thought as the mainstream ideology within the party. The revolution showed that Mao restored power after a breakthrough failure. This movement paralyzed Chinese politics and exerted a major negative impact on China's economy and society.

In 1966, Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong started a so-called cultural revolution to reaffirm his authority over the Chinese government. Mao believed that the present Communist leaders are pushing the party and China itself in the wrong direction, eliminating the "impurities" of Chinese society and revolutionary spirit that led to the civil war 20 years ago and the victory of the Chinese people I asked my young people to reactivate them. Republic's formation culture revolution continues at various stages until the death of Mao's East in 1976, the legacy of torture and violence will resonate with China's politics and society in the coming decades.

In modern society, Confucianism and other new Confucianists still exist, but during the Cultural Revolution Confucianism was often attacked by leaders of the Chinese Communist Party. This part is the continuation of Confucian condemnation by intellectuals and activists in the early 20th century and the reason why the ethnic centric closure principle of the Qing Dynasty and the refusal of modernization brought China's tragedy of the 19th century. Confucius does not have many disciples, and more than half of them are recorded in Zuo Zhuan. Analects recorded 22 names that are most likely to be Confucius disciples, but Mencius recorded 24 names, but there is a high probability that more disciples did not record their names. While other people are coming from neighboring countries, most Confucius disciples are from Lu.
