Etymology: Possibly from On the Ten Major Relationships, a speech delivered by Mao Zedong in 1956 on the socialist construction of the People's Republic of China. 我曾經說過，我們一為「窮」，二為「白」。「窮」，就是沒有多少工業，農業也不發達。「白」，就是一張白紙，文化水平、科學水平都不高。 [MSC, trad.]我曾经说过，我们一为「穷」，二为「白」。「穷」，就是没有多少工业，农业也不发达。「白」，就是一张白纸，文化水平、科学水平都不高。 [MSC, simp.] From: 1956, 毛澤東 (Mao Zedong), 《論十大關係》 (On the Ten Major Relationships), 《毛澤東選集》.
