Opposing bookishness is an important research work written by Mao Zedong in May 1930 to oppose dogmatism in the Red Army of Chinese workers and peasants at that time. Formerly known as "investigation". This is Mao Zedong's earliest work on Marxist philosophy.

2. The background of this book:

Mao Zedong's article was against dogmatism in the Red Army at that time. At that time, it was not called "dogmatism" but "bookishness".

If you don't investigate a problem, stop your right to speak on it. Isn't this barbaric? It's not barbaric at all. Since you haven't investigated the actual situation and history of that problem, your speech on that problem must be nonsense. Everyone knows that nonsense can't solve the problem. So, what's unfair about blocking your right to speak? Many comrades all over the world are talking nonsense with their eyes closed. This is a disgrace to the * * *. Is there a * * * member who can talk nonsense with his eyes closed?
