[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 change was 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] . . . . "
