The Hundred Flowers period refers to a brief interlude in Chinese history from 1956 to 1957 during which the Chinese Communist Party authorities permitted or encouraged a variety of views and solutions. Subsequently an ideological crackdown re-imposed Maoist orthodoxy in public expression.
The name Hundred Flowers originates from a poem:
百花齊放,百家爭鳴 "Let a hundred flowers bloom: let a hundred schools of thought contend."
