About this eBook

Author Sunzi, active 6th century B.C.
Uniform Title The Art of War
Title 兵法 (Bīng Fǎ)
Summary "兵法 (Bīng Fǎ)" by active 6th century B.C. Sunzi is a foundational text on military strategy and tactics, written during an era characterized by the rise and fall of various states in ancient China. This classic work serves as a treatise on the principles of warfare, focusing on key concepts such as strategy, leadership, the importance of understanding both one’s own strengths and weaknesses, and those of the enemy. The content of "兵法" encompasses various strategies for effective military engagement and emphasizes the significance of planning and deception in warfare. Sunzi outlines five fundamental factors to assess when preparing for battle: the moral influence (道), environmental conditions (天), terrain (地), leadership qualities (將), and military regulations (法). The text advocates for strategies that avoid prolonged conflict to maintain state resources and the well-being of troops, suggesting that the best victories come from outmaneuvering an opponent rather than engaging in direct confrontation. Throughout the book, Sunzi highlights the value of adaptability and intelligence in both military operations and leadership, making it a timeless guide not only for warfare but for competitive endeavors in general.
