I especially like his explanation of the relationship between king and minister in the book, just like the king and his ministers are the sun and shadow, interdependent. This reminds me of some of the views in The Analects, which also emphasizes the morality and responsibility between monarch and ministers. Moreover, the book also mentions that the way to govern a country is based on etiquette and orderly, which is similar to some concepts in "The Great Learning". In short, "Sixteen Cheap Strategies" is not only in-depth, but also reminds people of other classics. It is worth reading!
