Wikipedia's article on the campaign against the "Four Olds", the Cultural Revolution era Chinese Communist Party campaign targeting old customs, old culture, old habits and old ideas. It is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, matching this atlas's established convention for a Wikipedia citation: reliable for the campaign's basic definition and chronology, not a substitute for a dedicated scholarly history of the Cultural Revolution's effect on religious practice specifically.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Tier three, general reference encyclopedia entry, matching this database's established convention for Wikipedia citations. NotesA general crowd-edited reference article rather than a peer-reviewed source. Tier 3 on the three-tier scale used across this atlas's source register (1 scholarly or peer-reviewed, 2 reputable secondary, 3 general reference). Used here specifically for the 18 August 1966 Tiananmen rally date at which Mao Zedong reviewed the Red Guards and endorsed the Destroy the Four Olds campaign, a date well corroborated in the wider secondary literature on the Cultural Revolution.
