Abstract:

The rapid mobilization of the "Great Cultural Revolution" in 1966 held close relationships with Chinese ideological and cultural conditions in those days. The reexpansion of egalitarianist values constituted a driving force of the public for their involvement in the "Cultural Revolution". The growth and popularity of the personality cult provided an important political resource for this movement. The "philosophy of revolutionary struggle" formed an ideological basis of this movement. The occurrence and development of the "left" theory became a theoretical basis of this movement. The consciousness of obedience to the masses influenced heavily the public in their involvement in the " Cultural Revolution".

Key words: Great Cultural Revolution, egalitarianism, personality cult, philosophy of revolutionary struggle, "Left" theory
