The so-called "Cultural Revolution" was the overall political turmoil in Chinese society from May 1966 to October 1976. During the "Cultural Revolution," beginning with the "January Storm" in Shanghai in 1967, the party and government leading organs throughout the country were seized of power by the so-called "rebels" one after another, and a provisional power revolutionary committee was established, which was composed of representatives of the army, representatives of revolutionary cadres, and representatives of the revolutionary masses. On April 20, 1967, the Beijing Municipal Revolutionary Committee was established. To celebrate the establishment of the Beijing Municipal Revolutionary Committee, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued a set of stamps entitled "Long Live the Invincible Mao Zedong Thought" . This is the first set of stamps issued during the Cultural Revolution, abbreviated as Text 1. Due to the influence of the "Cultural Revolution", starting from this set of stamps, the original number of stamps in our country was cancelled, and it was not restored until January 1, 1974.

This set of 11 stamps. Designed by Wu Jiankun. All denominations are 8 cents. Photocopy version. The ticket width is 31mmX52mm. Perforation 11. 5 degrees. Printed by Beijing Stamp Factory. Except for the first stamp, which is a photograph of Mao Zedong receiving the Red Guards at the Tiananmen Tower (see color picture), the remaining 10 are quotations from Chairman Mao (see picture). The 10 stamps of Chairman Mao's quotations were printed in the form of horizontal five consecutive pieces. At the time of printing, due to the small inventory of imported gold ink, the first 5 pieces are bordered with large gold edges; the last 5 pieces are used as the border background color in red, and the gold wire is used as the frame. In order to prevent "contamination" of quotations when stamping, the place under the stamp that occupies one-third of the stamp page is printed with the face value, remembered, and then used to date-off.

The first stamp in this set features a photograph of Mao Zedong waving from the tiananmen tower in a green military uniform and red armbands of a Red Guard. On August 18, 1966, Mao Zedong received the Red Guards and revolutionary masses for the first time at Tiananmen Square to review the millions of marches. This reception led to the rise of the Red Guards movement throughout the country. Later, Mao Zedong received seven times in Beijing, meeting with the Red Guards and teachers and students of the school, and the number of people received reached more than 10 million.

The second stamp in this set of stamps is a quote from Chairman Mao: "The core force leading our cause is the Communist Party of China, and the theoretical basis guiding our thinking is Marxism-Leninism." This quotation is from Mao Zedong's "Opening Remarks of the First Session of the First National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China" published by Mao Zedong on September 15, 1955.

The third stamp in this set of stamps is a quote from Chairman Mao: "We should believe in the masses, we should believe in the party, these are two fundamental principles." If you doubt these two principles, nothing can be done. This quotation is from Mao Zedong's "On the Question of Agricultural Co-operatives" published on July 13, 2005.

The fourth stamp in this set of stamps is a quotation from Chairman Mao: "Policies and tactics are the life of the Party, and leading comrades at all levels must pay full attention to them and must not be careless." This quotation is from Mao Zedong's "Report on the Situation" published on March 20, 1948.

The fifth stamp in this set of stamps is a quote from Chairman Mao: "The people, and only the people, are the driving force behind the creation of world history." This quotation is from Mao Zedong's April 24, 1945 publication On Coalition Government.

The sixth stamp in this set of stamps is a quote from Chairman Mao: "You must be concerned about major state affairs and carry the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution through to the end!" This quotation is Mao Zedong's speech at 7:00 p.m. on August 10, 1966, when he went to the reception station of the CPC Central Committee to meet the masses in the capital who had come to celebrate the DECISION of the CPC Central Committee on the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (i.e., the Sixteen Articles).

The 7th stamp in this set of stamps is a quote from Chairman Mao: "All erroneous ideas, all cattle, ghosts, snakes, and gods, should be criticized, and they must not be allowed to run free." This quotation is from Mao Zedong's "Speech at the National Propaganda Work Conference of the Communist Party of China" delivered on March 12, 1957.

The eighth stamp in this set of stamps is a quotation from Chairman Mao: "The principles of Marxism are numerous, and in the final analysis, it is one sentence: 'Rebellion is justified.'" ’...... According to this principle, we will resist, we will struggle, we will engage in socialism. This quotation is excerpted from Mao Zedong's "Speech at the Celebration of Stalin's Sixtieth Birthday in Yan'an" issued on December 21, 1939.

The 9th stamp in this set of stamps is a quote from Chairman Mao: "The mobilization of millions of people and the mobilization of a mighty revolutionary army is the need of today's revolution to attack the counter-revolution." This quotation is from Mao Zedong's "On tactics against Japanese imperialism" published on December 29, 2015.

The 10th stamp in this set of stamps is a quote from Chairman Mao: "All revolutionary struggles in the world are aimed at seizing power and consolidating it." And the desperate struggle of the counter-revolutionaries against the revolutionary forces is entirely for the purpose of maintaining their political power. This quote is from Mao Zedong's September 6, 1933 publication of "This Year's Election."

The motif of the 11th stamp in this set is Chairman Mao's quote: "We can learn what we did not understand before." We are not only good at destroying an old world, we are also good at building a new world. This quotation is from Mao Zedong's "Report at the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China" published on March 5, 1949.

This set of stamps does not survive much in a row, and the new stamps are even fewer, which is more precious.
