Features: A Chronological Record of the Editions of Mao Zedong's Works, which collects 7,500 publicly published articles written by Comrade Mao Zedong from 1912 to 1976, totaling 3.5 million words. It is a large-scale academic reference book that comprehensively and systematically reflects the evolution of Mao Zedong's works in a chronological form, holding significant historical document value. The manuscript of this book is approximately 3.5 million words, and its features are as follows:
First, it is relatively systematic. The entire manuscript takes the publicly published or released works of Mao Zedong by various publishing houses before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China as the writing, covering 7,571 works written and published by Mao Zedong from 1912 to 1976.
Second, it is relatively rigorous. Doing version research is a laborious yet unrewarding task. Not only are some young scholars' academic styles somewhat due to the impact of the market economy, but even scholars of our generation who are truly dedicated to the study of historical materials and version research are few in number. Version research often requires great effort, extensive reference checks, the application of knowledge from multiple disciplines, repeated comparison and study, but only a few words end up on paper, which cannot be considered to have intellectual depth or readability. From the content of the manuscript, writing this work is no overnight task—it requires at least a decade or more of accumulation and research.
Third, it has a high academic level. The academic content of this manuscript is reflected not only in the excavation of historical materials but also in the authors' comprehensive research capabilities.
