The Red Book during the Cultural Revolution provided a semblance of
structure and unity in the chaos of the time. Even though rival Red Guard
factions frequently clashed and the nation was thrown into turmoil the Red Book
acted as a bond between the Chinese; they were all followers of Mao even as
their nation dissolved into anarchy. The Red Book provided a framework in which
for people to criticize others and also a bond between citizens, the party, Red
Guards, and Mao. The study of the Red Book also provided a de-facto type of
education while the schools were shut down. People learned to read in study
groups while learning the Red Book's quotes. In these ways the Red Book was
valuable in that it created a type of order out of the chaos of the Cultural
Revolution.
