Summary
The Hundred Flowers Campaign (1956-1957) was a period in the People's Republic of China initiated by Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party, which encouraged citizens to offer criticism and advice to the government and party. The campaign aimed to serve an antibureaucratic purpose by allowing diverse viewpoints in social science, arts, and science. It resulted in significant criticism directed at the Party and its policies, representing a brief relaxation of ideological and cultural control before the subsequent Anti-Rightist Campaign.
