Chapter 1 Preface

China's ancient culture has a long history, and there are a vast number of ancient books and works. These works are profound in meaning and brilliant in content, which are worth our modern people's deep understanding and careful consideration. When it comes to these works, we can't help mentioning Sun Tzu's Art of War, which is known as "an extraordinary book".

Sun Tzu's Art of War shines with the brilliance of simple materialism and dialectical thought. It has profound theory, precise thinking, and subtle rules, and has universal and long-term guiding significance. It is not only an extremely dazzling treasure in the Chinese classical military cultural heritage, but also an indispensable part of Chinese traditional culture.

The whole book of Sun Tzu's Art of War has 13 chapters in total, which are in turn: planning, fighting, planning and attacking, shape, momentum, emptiness and reality, military struggle, nine changes, marching, terrain, nine places, fire attack and using time. In these 13 chapters, Sun Wu based on the thought of "knowing the enemy and friends, and never losing a hundred wars", elaborated the battle policy, combat form, and combat guiding principles. His incisive and rich thoughts and meticulous and rigorous logic are deeply impressive and convincing.

The Art of War of Sun Tzu has been regarded by military strategists as a must read book of war and a supremacy creed since its inception. Han Xin, Zhuge Liang, Yue Fei and other famous ancient military strategists have all learned wisdom from Sun Tzu's Art of War and created brilliant achievements. Cao Cao, who is "a capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times", loves Sun Tzu's Art of War, repeatedly studies and practices it, and personally annotates Sun Tzu's Art of War. Mao Zedong once made a high generalization of Sun Tzu's Art of War, pointing out that "Sun Tzu's laws are scientific truths". Sun Tzu's Art of War is also famous internationally. As early as the 8th century, Sun Tzu's Art of War was introduced to Japan and Korea. In the 18th century, it was introduced to Europe. Today, The Art of War of Sun Tzu has been translated into dozens of languages and widely spread all over the world. Together with On War of Clausewitz, it is called the greatest military work.

The Art of War of Sun Tzu is composed of original classics, annotations, translations, famous scholars' annotations and interpretations. The original book retains the core content of the classic original book, allowing readers to appreciate the essence of the original book Sun Tzu's Art of War. The two parts of annotation and translation are to translate the original into vernacular, so that readers can understand the meaning of the original more directly. The famous scholars' comments and interpretations further elaborate the theoretical and practical significance of these military tactics. Modern society is complex and changeable, which requires us to master and use more methods and strategies, and the principles revealed in Sun Tzu's Art of War are very suitable for these needs.
