About This Novel

"Thirty-Six Stratagems" is a famous military strategy work in ancient my country. Although its status as a classic is not as high as that of "The Art of War", its popularity is by no means inferior to "The Art of War", such as "Beauty Trap", "Going to the Top", etc., Which are well-known among women and children. The year and author of "Thirty-Six Stratagems" are a mystery. What future generations can understand is that the "Thirty-six Strategies" were first proposed in the "Book of Southern Qi·Wang Jingze". From this, it can be inferred that the "Thirty-Six Strategies" had been formed at least 1500 years ago, and were later supplemented and improved, and finally finalized in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The original text of "Thirty-six Strategies" is short and uses many words from the "Book of Changes", which is quite difficult to understand, so "notes" were created to provide evidence by quoting scriptures. It is divided into six sets, listed according to "victorious battle", "enemy battle", "offensive battle", "melee battle", "joint battle" and "defeated battle". One set contains six strategies, sixty-six and thirty-six, completing the whole book. It is not difficult to see that "Thirty-Six Strategies" deeply absorbs the essence of the ancient Chinese "Book of Changes" thought of the mutual transformation of yin and yang and dialectical unity, and is very particular about its layout. "Thirty-Six Strategies" is a collection of the military art and wisdom of the past dynasties. It is not only suitable for implementation in the military field and political struggles, but also has strong applicability to the entire social life, economic diplomacy, and interpersonal interactions.
