Sun Zi's Art of War : 再读孙子兵法
This 2,500 year-old book proves that while the weaponry has changed over time, the rules for successful warfare strategies have not. It is a surprisingly compact distillation of strategic principles that is still as useful today as it was when Sun Zi [Sun Tzu] first wrote it. Its principles were applied by the combatants of the "Three Kingdoms" period, Mao Tse-Tung, and the corporate warriors in the sales and marketing departments of today.
孫子兵法是一本2500年前的旷世奇书,这本书总结了春秋末期及其以前的战争经验,比系统地涉及战争全局问题,总结了至今仍有科学价值的作战指导原则,是不朽的军事名著。对后世产生了广泛而深刻的影响,哺育了我国一代又一代军事家的成长。
以图解篇章 (One chapters of SunZi's diagram )
“治世之能臣,乱世之奸雄”的曹操专门为本书作著,他的《孙子注》颇为后人称道。唐太宗、宋仁宗、明代大儒王阳明、丞相张居正、清人朱墉都曾力主学习此书。
毛泽东早在一九三八年在其名著《论持久战》中高度评价《孙子兵法》,称赞书中理论“知己知彼,百战不殆”是科学的真理。
现在,《孙子兵法》已被翻译成十几种文字,传到世界各国。除了军事领域外,它还被运用到外交活动、企业管理、市场竞争、体育竞赛等方面,成为世界人民最喜爱的读物之一

孙子兵法共分成十三个章节,开头第一章就点明了引发战争的条件、代价,不断地强调所谓战争是“既伤财又劳民”的事,了解战争的代价后,孙子接着点出自己战争中的核心价值──“以我最强击敌之最弱”。想办法把自军军力提升最强盛,把敌方战力削弱到最低谷,自然以造成“狼群打独羊”的效果,不但战争几乎不会有损失,甚至可以逼使对方投降,不战而胜. 孙子兵法中点出了许多战争的奥妙,教导将领在乱世中求胜的方法,对世界的引响极大。这本千古奇书中的许多道理,直到现今依然适用,这或许也证明了人类从以前到现在完全没有长进?

总评:不愧为世界奇书之一,再现代不管是商场、战场、甚至是游戏都用的到其中的概念,人人皆必读的一本神作
I've also studied as a part of Qi Men Dun Jia course. So apart from being a military tretease it is also a sort of a spellbook. :->
It is just that Chinese call spells "stratagems", but there is a "magic" aspect to them as well.
Totally agree your thinking, 奇门遁甲术( Qi Men Dun Jia) also a magic and so good for Chinese people. Let us introduce it in STEEM here.
I really liked the film Hero (2014), when I first watched it, I was like cool film. But after qmdj course I was like, I think I have to watch it again.
And it eas like, Gen metal (Nameless) comes to the Emperor (Jia), and how it all works out and why. Quite a bit of qmdj/bazi symbolism went into the film.
The only thing missing was "the Cause" why the soldiers were fighting is also a huge factor in battles. State of mind. I guess 2500 years ago it was a lot easier to convince people to fight when you lived in a tiny village with nothing to do and suddenly 50 men on horses with swords and armor show up and ask you to join them. I'd probably.
I read the book when I was teen. It was kinda dry, in part due to translation, but I do love reading articles about the book of war.
Maybe we can cowork to find winner example of War which use SunZi art. And introduce to everyone.( 經典战役史蹟 )
Have you read it? It starts with considerations like that, actually. Hmm, let me find a copy and I'll quore you exact passages.
the translated copy i had was awful. Would like something more how to say "modern" language i guess
不错
没时间改了。少了个(I)ntelligence.
