The Chinese Cultural Renaissance or the Chinese Cultural Renaissance Movement (Chinese: 中華文化復興運動; Wade–Giles: chung¹hua² wên²hua⁴ fu⁴hsing¹ yün⁴-tung⁵) was a movement promoted in Taiwan in opposition to the cultural destruction caused by the Chinese Communist Party during the Cultural Revolution.^[1] The Chinese Cultural Revival Movement was an ideological and cultural movement launched by the government of the Republic of China with the aim of reviving Chinese culture, in order to maintain traditional Chinese culture and carry forward the revolutionary spirit^[2] and to contend with the Cultural Revolution movement of the Chinese Communist Party, in order to show that the Republic of China is the representative of orthodox Chinese culture. In November 1966, 1,500 people—including Sun Ke, Wang Yunwu, Chen Lifu, Chen Qitian, Kong Decheng, and Zhang Zhiben—wrote a letter to the Executive Yuan: the "Chinese Cultural Revival Movement" was proposed and the "Chinese Cultural Revival Festival" was designated as occurring on November 12 each year.^[3] On July 28, 1967, people from all walks of life in Taiwan held the initiation meeting of the Chinese Cultural Revival Movement Implementation Committee (now known as the Chinese Cultural Federation), with the President of the Republic of China Chiang Kai-shek as the president; the movement was implemented in Taiwan and overseas.^[3]
