The Art of War of Sun Tzu
The Chinese classical military work the Art of War of Sun tzu is said to have been written by Sun Wu, a military strategist in the Spring and Autumn period (770-476 B.C.). It is the earliest existing military book in China and also the earliest military book in the world. The book is known as the "classic of military strategists" and Sun Wu "the ancestor of a hundred generations of military strategists ".
In 13 chapters, the Art of War of Sun tzu effectively gen- eralizes the war experience and war theory in ancient China, and discusses in detail pre-war preparations, strategy application, combat deployment, enemy situation research and judgment, commanding as a general and mobilization of troops. It not only discusses the relationship between politics, economy, diplomacy and war, but also discusses the influence of many factors such as astronomy, geography, and meteorology on war. It is of significant guiding value for ancient Chinese military thought and war practice. The book examines wars in a highly rational way, advocating "no war" and "exercise of caution before entering into a war" so as to obtain the greatest victory at the least cost. Sun Wu believed that the highest level of war is not to defeat the enemy through war, but by strategy, and fight wits, not force.
the Art of War of Sun tzu is rich in content, profound in thought, rigorous in logic, and flexible in writing. This encompassing compilation of the essence of ancient Chinese military thought has a profound impact on military, economic, political and other fields, cementing itself an important position in the world military history. the Art of War of Sun tzu has been translated into many languages and sold well overseas. Many countries have chosen it as a textbook and management guide for the spheres of business and military.
