Little
Red Book
The Little Red
Book was carried around by everyone in China and it was their most prized
possession. In the schools the students waved it proudly in the air as they
sang to Mao. This book contained many of the quotes said by Chairman Mao and
were written down by Mao himself. The Red Guards used this book to find and
punish the people who were not following Chairman Mao or the ones who broke the
rules. During the revolution things were
judged by the quotes “Correcting Mistaken Ideas” and “All Reactionaries are
Paper Tigers”
When all the Red Guards went to
Beijing to hear Chairman Mao
speak they all brought their Little Red Books. When Chairman came out to speak
everyone took out their red book waved them in the air and sang his song. The
Little Red Book was so important to everyone because it contained quotes from
Chairman Mao and during this time he was revered by everyone.
