The Art of War

Oude Chinese militaire verhandeling vol filosofie

The warrior-philosopher and master strategist Sun Tzu, about whom little is known, compiled The Art of War more than two thousand years ago. Legend has it that he was known for the brilliant campaigns he led around the time of Confucius. His work was memorized and passed down orally, before eventually being copied onto bamboo strips and passed around.

The book has many chapters ,each one is devoted to a different set of skills or art related to warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics. For almost 1,500 years it was the lead text in an anthology that was formalized as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare and has influenced both Far Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy, lifestyles and beyond.

Today, it can bring a lot of wisdom to our daily life to help us make the right decisions, such as the workplace, relationships, decisions about important matters, game competition, and more. It may have inexhaustible treasures or worthless words, depending on how you look at and use it, good luck :)
