It was going to be seen as part of one of the "Olds" because it supported religion, which the Communist Party wanted to remove. Mao wanted young people to follow the government, not any religious ideas. Furthermore, it had important spiritual and moral lessons for many people in China. If it were destroyed, people would lost a guide for their faith, traditions, and community life. Its loss also meant less religious freedom and a way for people to understand what is right and wrong, being one of the reasons that it will be destroyed.

They were going to be seen as part of one of the "Olds" because they showed ideas from the past, like religion, nature, and philosophy, which have the potential of develop people's ideas that could threaten Mao's ideology. These paintings were not just art, most of them had deep meanings. In this way, they reflect important ideas from Daoism and Buddhism, such as peace, balance, and the simple life. These works might help people to think about their place in the world and how to live well. If they were destroyed, China would lost not only its artistic style and culture representation but also important lessons about life, nature, and harmony. In the case they have been destroyed, future generations will lose a way to connect with their culture and reflect about human values.
