'''''Quotations from Chairman Mao''''' ([[Simplified Chinese|Simplified]]: 毛主席语录; [[Traditional Chinese|Traditional]]: 毛主席語錄;[[Hanyu pinyin]]: Máo zhǔxí yǔlù) also known as the "'''Little Red Book'''" ([[Simplified Chinese|Simplified]]: 小红书; [[Traditional Chinese|Traditional]]: 小紅書; [[Hanyu pinyin]]: xiăohóngshū) was a collection of [[Mao Zedong]]'s quotes published by the [[People's Republic of China]]. Studying the book was a requirement to advance in colleges, the military, the bureaucracy, the science community, and most other fields. As a result, it was extremely common throughout China. People were encouraged to insert quotes into all written documents, even novels which were usually prefaced with a relevant quote.
