I don't really know how to address questions when it comes to the answer of "that's just basic history". Maybe history is wrong but I'm always wary of being expected to make the case that it isn't...
What I meant was maybe you can help me by pointing out something in history that was very prosperous before Cultural Revolution but died right after (if I understand "run over" correctly).
"pointing out something in history that was very prosperous before Cultural Revolution but died right after" I don't understand what you're trying to say there.
You can google up all sorts of things if you like. I've found it's not worth my time to post basic history, particularly with regards to China on hacker news. Too many accounts that amount to "nuh, uh prove it!" and have nothing else to say.
I'm not defending Cultural Revolution here (no body can). However, Googling "lost tradition Cultural Revolution" didn't give me much, I found one NY Times article [0] but it doesn't talk much on the traditions that got lost in this period.
The wikipedia page on Cultural Revolution in both English and Chinese didn't mention any tradition being lost either.
> Too many accounts that amount to "nuh, uh prove it!" and have nothing else to say.
The burden of proving what you said is true should not be on me. You said something bizarre and got challenged.
