There are mostly four volumes in circulation in the market. This 1-4 volume was compiled by the teacher himself and approved by him.
Only four volumes have been officially released, and two versions have been published since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Mao Xuan 1 edition (volume 1-4) was published in1951-kloc-0/960 respectively.
The second edition was published in 199 1, and the second edition still kept its original content, only adding an article against bookishness. This once lost work was regained in the early 1960s. It was first published in Selected Works of Mao Zedong published by 1964 after being examined and approved by teachers.
Volume 5 was published only once in 1977. In view of the background of special events at that time, it will not be officially published. Although the fifth volume has only been published once, the circulation in the second-hand market is very large, mainly because the circulation was large at that time, the government strongly called for the purchase, and the unit purchased and distributed employees.
Although the fifth volume is no longer officially published, it is constantly reprinted by the people and can be bought in second-hand bookstores or online. Volumes 6 and 7 were also circulated on the Internet, but they were not officially approved and never published. They are all selected by the people themselves, and the selected works are all works (documents, manuscripts, speeches, etc. ) after 1957.
It is enough to read the first four volumes thoroughly. On this basis, if you are interested in further research, you can read the fifth volume, or even the sixth and seventh volumes currently circulating in the market, but you must treat them dialectically. The articles behind the four volumes need us to combine the background of the times, dialectically absorb historical knowledge and analyze the actual situation after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
