Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung (The Little Red Book) comprises 427 quotations, divided thematically into 33 chapters. It is also called "Thoughts of Chairman Mao" by many Chinese people. The quotations range in length from a sentence to a few short paragraphs, and borrow heavily from a group of about two dozen documents in the four volumes of Mao's Selected Works.
In the book's latter half, a strong empiricist tendency evidences itself in Mao's thought. Usually the quotations are arranged logically, to deal with one to three themes in the development of a chapter. In 1966, the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China approved Quotations from Chairman Mao for export. From the original edition with Hou Bo's photographs, the official photographer of Mao Zedong . Enriched by two other works of Mao, and Lin Biao's epigraph from the 1966 French edition (with a fault).
