"Thirty-six Tactics" or "Thirty-six Tactics" refers to the thirty-six tactics of China's ancient art of war, which originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and was written in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a military work based on China's excellent ancient military thoughts and rich struggle experience, and it is one of the long-standing cultural heritages of the Chinese nation.
The phrase "Thirty-six Strategies" was written earlier than the year of writing, and its etymology can be taken from Tan Dao Ji (? -A.D. 436), according to the Biography of King Jingze of the Southern Qi Dynasty: "Tan Gong's thirty-six plans are the best policy, and your father and son should only listen to them." It means that defeat is inevitable and only retreat is the best policy. This sentence was used by later generations. Hui Hong's "Cold Zhai Night Talk" in Song Dynasty: "Thirty-six plans, walking is the best plan." . In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, more people quoted this language. So a man of heart collected a batch of books and compiled "Thirty-six Plans". However, it is difficult to determine when and by whom this book was written.
The original book is arranged according to the plan name and divided into six sets, namely, winning plan, enemy plan, attack plan, melee plan, merger plan and defeat plan. The first three sets are for superiors and the last three sets are for subordinates. Each set contains six meters, a total of 36 meters. Among them, the explanation after each name comes from the theory of Yin and Yang changes in the Book of Changes and the thoughts of the ancient military strategists on the mutual transformation of opposites, such as rigidity, strangeness, aggression, defense, self-denial, falsehood and falsehood, and subject and object, which contains simple military dialectics factors. After the commentary, most of the comments quoted the war examples before the Song Dynasty and the incisive expositions of military strategists such as Sun Wu, Wu Qi and Wei Liaozi. There is also a general introduction and postscript in the book.
"Thirty-six Strategies" is a summary of China's ancient military strategists' strategies, and it is a valuable legacy of military science. In order to make it easier for people to remember these thirty-six wonderful plans, a scholar took one word from each of the thirty-six plans and wrote poems in turn: Explore the palace strategy today to catch thieves, fish and snakes laugh at the sea, sheep and tigers are separated by peaches and mulberry, the trees are dark and stupid, the pot is empty and bitter, and there is a beautiful corpse on the roof, and William is cut down.
