"Sima Fa" is an important pre-Qin military work in ancient China.
It was probably written in the early Warring States period.
According to the "Historical Records: Biography of Sima Ranju": "King Wei of Qi (356 BC - 320 BC) asked the officials to follow the ancient Sima's art of war and append Rangju to it, so it was called "Sima Rangju's art of war"."
The Han Dynasty had a high opinion of "Sima Law".
During the reign of Emperor Wu, "officials who were proficient in martial arts were selected based on Sima's Art of War, and their ranks were comparable to those of doctors."
(See Gou Yue's "Shenjian·Current Affairs") Sima Qian praised "Sima Fa"
"Hongkuo is far-reaching. Although three generations of conquests were made, it failed to realize its meaning, just like its writing."
(See "Historical Records·Biography of Sima Rangju").
According to "Hanshu·Yiwenzhi", there were 155 volumes of "Sima Fa" at that time.
Reader comments
"Sima Law" not only contains thoughts on war, but also emphasizes moral principles such as "benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage, and trustworthiness." This reminds me of a friend who has been in the business world for many years, but always adhered to integrity and benevolence, and finally achieved success. The views on war and peace in the book are also very enlightening. Concepts such as "never go against the times" and "never forget the war" remind us to cherish peace, but we cannot ignore our own strength. This book is like a wise man, bringing us profound enlightenment.
The wisdom inside needs to be constantly explored!
