Answer:

The Cultural Revolution.

Explanation:

Chairman Mao´s Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) had as one of its top goals to destroy the old, "decadent" traditional Chinese culture, "bourgeois" and landlord culture, which were seen as reactionary. The Communist Party had to foster a new revolutionary culture, a culture of workers and peasants instead. It was a terrible, chaotic and bloody era in China.
