[Chinese version of 'Get on the Bandwagon' idea]"As is usual in history, ideological demagoguery drowned in a whirlwind of contradictions . . ." quoted in 'Ode to Joy', page 513**
"Porcelain was a medium of imperial ostentation and bourgeois knick-knacks. It might seem it would have had little place in Mao Zedong's proletarian-forward Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). In fact porcelain played an important role in Maoist art and propaganda, signaling the continuity of Chinese culture and the legitimacy of Mao's power. What did changewas the aesthetic notion of truth to materials. During the Cultural Revolution, porcelain became a medium for polychrome sculpture and [the
promotion of ideas . . . . and desired ideal behaviours . . by grace or force] . . . . "
