There is a cloud in "Thousand Characters": the heavens and the earth are mysterious and the universe is vast. Since the beginning of the world, China has stood for 5,000 years, leaving countless beautiful works, among which The Art of War is one. Time cannot hide its charm. Reading is like drinking pure wine, like sobering. I feel a lot, and I don't want to vomit. Sun Tzu's art of war involves many aspects. From my point of view and understanding, I will talk about my views from the aspects of strategy and the connection with modernity.

Chairman Mao once said: "Policies and strategies are the life of the Party, and leading comrades at all levels must pay full attention to them and never be careless."

Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the important events of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of life and death must be observed.

Seeing victory is not known to everyone, and bad people are also good; If you win, the world will be fine, and the good of bad people will be good. Therefore, it is not enough to raise the autumn. Seeing the sun and the moon is not a sight, and hearing the thunder is not a sound; The so-called good fighter in ancient times, winning, is better than easy. So a good soldier wins, has no wisdom and fame, and is brave, so his victory is not special. Failure is victory, and victory is failure.

Uncle Li (Ge You)' s theft team appeared as a tour group. This kind of camouflage phenomenon is a plan to hide the sky from the sea; Fat man () and Siyan () blocked the robbery of Silly Root, and Wang Bo (Andy Lau) attacked Siyan, which led to fat man's surprise attack and saved his life. It was a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. Due to the interference of Wang Li (Rene Liu), Wang Bo can't get rid of Silly Root's 60,000 yuan, but he gets Silly Root's money through Xiao Ye's hand. This kind of self-effort, attracting friends to kill "enemies", is a plan to kill people by using the knife; Uncle Li is waiting for a sneak attack on the roof of the train. This is a plan that has been waiting for a long time: the fat man scalds silly roots (Wang) and (Li Bingbing) with boiling water to create the illusion of fire. These attempts to rob silly money are all plans to fish in troubled waters; In Buddhism, Wang Bo and Xiao Ye met by chance. Wang Bo gave Xiao Ye a chance to bow his head, causing the other party to have the illusion that he stole Xiao Ye's mobile phone and attacked it to show that it was not an attack. This was a diversion; Taking the DV camera as evidence, blackmailing the general manager Liu (Fu Biao) to bid for BMW, making nothing out of nothing. The old man pretended not to throw the things in the bag on the shelf at the baby, confused Wang Bo to help the baby, gave up following the silly root, took the opportunity to sneak up on the silly root and rob the money with his eyes, which was a sneak attack. Xiao Ye and the fat man can't compete with each other. There was a fight with robber A () in the carriage, and Uncle Li didn't help, so they were far away. In the process of gambling, Uncle Li looked at Wang Bo and Wang Li, with a smile on his face, pleasant on the surface and insidious, which meant that there was a knife hidden in his smile. Taking the lesser of the two evils, he surrendered himself to the police and handed over Uncle Li, which was one of Li's plans.

When talking with Wang Li, Wang Bo caught the painter (Zhang Hanyu) by surprise and stole his wallet. A small gap is inevitable, and a small profit is inevitable. This is a kind of stealing. The police offered to send someone to help the painter catch Wang Bo and Wang Li. The painter thinks that the time has not come, the enemy's situation is clear, and the deployment has not been completed. In order to stabilize each other and not disturb each other for the time being, it is a startle. Useful people can't borrow it, but useless people can borrow it. It is a plan to revive the soul that the painter uses Mingbi instead of paper money. Mr. Liu sent the babysitter away with one hundred dollars, which was a diversion; In order to catch the big fish in the long line, the painter didn't catch Wang Bo and Wang Li immediately, which was a plan to escape from his aunt. On the platform, Wang Li confused silly root with the trick of throwing eggs, and then changed the paper bag in her bag into silly root's paper bag. This kind of thing is very similar to confusing each other and letting them fall for it. This is a plan to attract jade. The policewoman () caught the robber A and caught the robber B (Feng) conveniently. This is a plan to catch the thief and capture the king. Wang Bo told Uncle Li about Siyan's partnership with Fat Man to rob silly money, in order to counter Uncle Li's remarks. When the two armies confront each other, it is a radical measure to weaken their momentum instead of directly confronting their spirit. Wang Bo stole the mobile phone while the devout worshippers were in chaos. This is a plan to fish in troubled waters: Uncle Li asked Xiao Ye, who was wearing a police uniform, to handcuff himself, taking his time and showing no mercy. This is a plan to get out of the shell: the station round-up operation is surrounded on all sides to prevent thieves from escaping from the net. This is a plan to close the door and catch thieves;

Mrs. Liu (Xu Fan) instructed the nanny to keep an eye on Liu to prevent him from moving evil intentions, which was a plan to make a distant friend and attack him near; Wang Bo put the antiperspirant in the cup in advance, and took the opportunity to see Xiao Ye. If you don't believe me, you can control each other conveniently. This is a fake plan. The painter got angry and exchanged 60,000 yuan for 60,000 yuan in cash. This is a scheme to steal the column. Four-eyed uncle Li cut off his finger to warn the fat man Xiao Lingda who didn't listen to the command, which means swearing; Uncle Li disguised himself as a kidnapper and sat next to silly root, and then disguised himself as a blind man and slipped out of the station. This is a false delusion. Uncle Li ordered the fat man and four eyes to lure Wang Bo to the roof of the car, and then blocked Wang Bo's retreat by himself, which belonged to the plan of entering the room by ladder. Wang Bo showed his skill by peeling boiled eggs with a cup, but Uncle Li peeled raw eggs with his fingers. In this case, the weak is better than the strong, and he took the opportunity to subdue the enemy, which is a plan to blossom on the tree. Uncle Li first took the initiative to meet Wang Bo in the box, and then threatened him with gangster jargon, forcing Wang Bo to promise himself and bet on chips. This step-by-step, passive to active, belongs to the anti-customer-oriented plan; Teacher Wang Li lured General Liu to take the bait and cut off the feelings of the wise, which was a honey trap. Uncle Li showed Wang Bo how he stole money from Silly Root. This abnormal fighting psychology and tactics is an empty plan. By demonstrating his skills and charm, Wang Bo made Xiao Ye fall in love with him and told Uncle Li's plan that it was a counter-strategy. Wang Bo cried to silly root in the car toilet that Wang Li was terminally ill and defrauded silly root of 5000 yuan. If people don't hurt themselves, they really hurt themselves. This is a bitter pill. Uncle Li used lobules to attract Wang Bo to take the bait, and then instructed Fat Man and his four eyes to challenge Wang Bo, which was a series of tricks. Wang Bo saw that the situation was grim and his strength was weak, so it was difficult to deal with Uncle Li. He decided to get off with Wang Li early, which was the best way. In a word, world without thieves is a masterpiece of wisdom, in which strategy is everywhere. The Tao is one foot high, and the devil is ten feet high. He is good at using strategy to control evil with righteousness. This is the philosophical essence of love and conspiracy in world without thieves.

Connotation of Sun Tzu's Art of War

Sun Tzu's Art of War, a collection of China's military research, has become a hot topic in contemporary strategic theory research, and it is a unique cultural phenomenon in today's world when it is still difficult to integrate eastern and western ideology and culture. However, due to the differences in cultural traditions and strategic thinking, there are obvious differences between Chinese and foreign scholars in the study of the Art of War. China scholars study Sun Tzu's Art of War.

The purpose of this paper is to carry forward Sun Tzu's art of war through the study of academic issues, pay attention to grasping Sun Tzu's art of war from a macro perspective, and highlight the construction of Sun Tzu's thought and theoretical system. The basic point of studying Sun Tzu's Art of War by foreign scholars is to always study Sun Tzu's Art of War as a war and strategic issue, mainly to master some viewpoints and principles of Sun Tzu's Art of War in order to establish their own ideological and theoretical system. Analyzing and comparing the research on Sun Tzu's Art of War at home and abroad is a basic point for us to understand the contemporary era.

The birth of Sun Tzu's Art of War has profoundly influenced the development of China's military thought for more than two thousand years. Mao Zedong's ten military principles and active defense theory, as well as China's current strategic principles and operational regulations, are branded with Sun Tzu's thought. However, the study of Sun Tzu's Art of War in contemporary China developed as a discipline. The study of Sun Tzu's Art of War belongs to the study of ancient military strategy, both inside and outside China's army. The basic point of academic research is mainly based on the study of academic issues, with the aim of promoting China's military culture.

1978 After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in February, the study of Sun Tzu's Art of War in China was liberated, and a large number of works were published, including Guo Huaruo's Notes on Sun Tzu, Tao's Introduction to Sun Tzu's Art of War, Wu Jiulong's Notes on Sun Tzu, Wu's A Brief Introduction to the Art of War, and Yang Binggan's Notes on Sun Tzu's Club. Before 1978, there were few editions of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and a large number of people were needed to do the basic work of the study of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Therefore, the times require China scholars to focus on academics first. At present, the research results are mainly reflected in sorting out Sun Tzu's military thoughts, textual research of Sun Tzu's version, textual research of Sun Tzu's philosophy, textual research of Sun Tzu's hometown and so on, which is very academic.

After the Second International Symposium on Sun Tzu's Art of War, the research fields of Chinese scholars have been broadened, and the articles concerned with practical problems have gradually increased. For example, Sun Tzu's Thought and Multipolar Competition by Wu and Tao's Influence of Sun Tzu's Thought on Contemporary Strategy, Sun Tzu's Art of War and Modern Local War by Liu Yongxin and Zhang Qindong, and the success or failure of applying Sun Tzu's strategic thought in World War II and after the war, etc. , a comparative study is made directly on the most advanced strategic theoretical issues at present. The theme of the 4th International Symposium on Sun Tzu's Art of War is "Sun Tzu's Art of War and International Security at the Turn of the Century". Most of the papers submitted by Chinese scholars are related to practical problems, but they only give Sun Tzu's Art of War a new connotation under modern conditions, and do not directly analyze and evaluate the strategic decisions of governments at present, especially our government, let alone participate in and influence the discussion and formulation of strategic policies.

The study of Sun Tzu's The Art of War in the West originated from modern western strategic theory. The transformation from clausewitz's direct route strategy theory of "absolute war" mode to liddell hart's indirect route strategy theory of "limited war" mode, and the admiration of Sun Tzu's Art of War by western strategic theorists represented by British liddell hart and American Collins have directly promoted the rise of Sun Tzu's research fever in the West. Liddell hart of Britain wrote in the preface of Griffith's English translation of Sun Tzu's Art of War, "People have long felt the need for a new translation of Sun Tzu's Art of War in order to explain Sun Tzu's thoughts more completely and accurately. This need is even more urgent after the successful development of nuclear weapons that may lead to cannibalism and genocide. " During the Cold War, the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States, pursued the nuclear deterrence strategy with each other, which made the strategic thoughts of "Defeating the enemy without fighting" and "attacking the enemy" in Sun Tzu's Art of War become the general policy of their nuclear deterrence strategy, and the thoughts of Sun Tzu's Art of War began to enter the hall of strategic decision-making of contemporary western powers.

Under the situation that the western strategic theory is still dominant in the contemporary world military field, the significance of studying Sun Tzu's Art of War for the west is not to change anything, but to help them get out of a dilemma. Almost all wars in the 20th century were provoked by western powers, and their experiences and lessons forced them to examine their strategic theories. Especially after the failure of the United States in the Vietnam War, brzezinski, Nixon, Westmoreland and others directly explored the reasons for the failure of the United States from Sun Tzu's thoughts. In the Vietnam War, the United States fought in strict accordance with western military theory, winning almost every battle, but losing the whole war. As we all know, the United States and other western countries, because of their developed economy and technology and different strategic ideas, always emphasize the material force factor of relying on combat. Joe Pollack, director of the political science research department of RAND Corporation, said: "When American military planners think that it may be necessary to use troops, they pay more attention to the enemy's capabilities and rarely consider the enemy's strategy and intentions." From the War of Independence to the Vietnam War, the US military basically pursued this strategic and tactical idea of "winning by strength".

After the Vietnam War, the U.S. military experienced a process of reassessing and rebuilding its military thinking. In an attempt to melt Sun Tzu's wisdom and clausewitz's viewpoint into a furnace, from pure gravity to seeking again. Of course, the US military's military cultural tradition of attaching importance to technology has not given up, but only absorbed the side of eastern military culture and tactics.

At the end of 1970s, the US military formed a research group to investigate the Fourth Middle East War, focusing on the works of famous writers such as clausewitz, Giomini, Grant, Fuller, liddell Hart, Rommel, Genghis Khan and Sun Tzu, with the aim of creating a new theory of decisive battle with less to win more, which led to the emergence of the theory of "air-ground battle". This theory is characterized by a good balance between firepower and maneuver, direct and indirect means, control and management, and initiative. The maneuver mentioned here is not only the machine power, but also the related actions of asymmetric operations, so as to avoid the enemy's strengths and attack the enemy's weaknesses.

Driven by western powers, a military revolution and an arms race are taking place in the world military field today, which is adapted to the information age and centered on high-tech wars. In order to seize the strategic commanding heights in the future, the western powers changed their guiding ideology of relying solely on the technological superiority in military theory and began to learn the strategic theory of "winning by winning" from the East. The Art of War, a collection of China's military research, just meets the requirements of their times.

China's military science has been advocating macro-holistic thinking since ancient times, and Sun Tzu's Art of War is its outstanding representative. Therefore, Chinese scholars attach great importance to grasping Sun Tzu's thoughts from a macro perspective when studying his thoughts on military science. Wu's "On Sun Tzu's Strategic Guiding Ideology", "On Sun Tzu's Thought of Being Good at War" and Yu Rubo's "Analysis of Sun Tzu's Potential Theory" all grasped Sun Tzu's military thought from a macro perspective. In particular, Wu Yu1June 1989 published a book, The New Theory of Sun Tzu's Art of War, which used a historical and systematic method to break through the previous thinking mode of simple graphic, and used a macro-holistic thinking method to sum up Sun Tzu's military thoughts and put forward the "Sixteen Theories" of Sun Tzu's Art of War. These theoretical ideas laid the foundation for the construction of the system of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Liu Qing's article "A Preliminary Study of Sun Tzu's Art of War System" puts forward that "following the thinking of ancient military strategists to explore its ideological system structure, we will find that Sun Tzu's art of war can be roughly divided into two parts: the theory of war preparation and the theory of war implementation", and "studying Sun Tzu from a deeper level of thinking includes three basic categories: war issues, operational guidance and army building". In addition, there are On the Establishment of Sun Tzu's Studies, An's Sun Tzu's Studies on Things, A Historical Survey of Sun Tzu's Art of War, Huang Pumin's Sun Tzu's Studies on Philosophy and Politics in the Spring and Autumn Period, Yu Rubo's Sun Tzu's Studies on Song Dynasty and Wu's Sun Tzu. Starting from the system of Sun Tzu's Art of War and the comparative study of China's ancient art of war and philosophy, this paper makes a detailed exposition and basically establishes the ideological and theoretical system of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Zhao Haijun's doctoral thesis "General Theory of Sun Tzu's Art of War" is to construct the basic framework of Sun Tzu's study system by discussing the historical origin, military science system, development process and the relationship with traditional military science and traditional culture.

At present, the study of Sun Tzu's "conquering the enemy without fighting" has become a hot spot for Chinese and foreign scholars to study Sun Tzu's thought. Domestic scholars include Wu's analysis of "conquering the enemy without fighting", Gao Rui's new exploration of Sun Tzu's "conquering the enemy without fighting" and "total victory", Wen's On National Interests, Shi Zhihua's "On Sun Tzu's Strategic Thought of" Defeating the enemy without fighting "and Huang Pumin. The angle and content of the paper are different, but it basically reflects Sun Tzu's thoughts. The purpose is obviously to enrich Sun Tzu's military science system and give him a modern interpretation of "conquering the enemy without fighting".

China Sun Tzu Art of War Research Association

China Sun Tzu's Art of War Research Association 1989 was established in May at the first international symposium on Sun Tzu's Art of War held in Huimin County, Shandong Province, Sun Tzu's hometown. Approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Association is a first-class academic organization under the Strategic Research Department of the Academy of Military Sciences. The current President Yao Youzhi, Secretary-General, Vice President and Chief Expert Wu, Vice Presidents, Fu Liqun, Liu Chunzhi, Chai, Wu Jiulong and Yan have dozens of directors and hundreds of members.

Our aim is to study and publicize Sun Tzu's Art of War, vigorously promote China's excellent traditional culture, make the past serve the present, and extensively carry out various forms of international academic exchanges. Since its establishment, it has hosted and held seven international seminars on Sun Tzu's Art of War, compiled and published the Complete Works of Sun Tzu's Art of War in silk, the proceedings of the Sixth Congress and dozens of research works on Sun Tzu's Art of War written by this association, and supported and participated in Sun Tzu's Art of War Society in Shandong Province, Linyi City, Tianjin, Huimin County, Liaoning Province, Suzhou City, Shenzhen City, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, universities and other places and units all over the country. At the same time, he also went to the United States, Russia, Japan, Malaysia and other countries for extensive academic exchanges.

In the past seventeen years, Sun Tzu's research on military science has been developing in depth and breadth, and the situation is gratifying. However, due to the long history of Sunzi and the lack of historical materials, there are still many controversial issues, which are difficult to clarify at the moment. Such as the life experience and hometown of Sun Tzu's Art of War, the time, process, cultural attributes, edition collation, interpretation of the original text, its ideological system and philosophical methods. , all have different views and explanations in one way or another.

Faced with these problems, this society cannot but have its own views and principles. For example, after full argumentation by our experts, it is determined that Sun Tzu's hometown is Huimin, but the hometown of Shandong Province and several other related counties and cities in Henan Province cannot be identified until new archaeological discoveries are made. However, for any place and unit, as long as it carries forward the excellent traditional military culture of the motherland and spreads Sun Tzu's art of war, this association will give strong support. The association also inherited the traditional view that Sun Tzu went to Wu by himself, lived in seclusion, presented military books, taught wars in the Wu Palace, and broke through Chu and entered Ying. Therefore, the association supports and participates in the academic research and commemorative activities of Suzhou Sun Wuzi Research Association, and promotes the culture of Sun Tzu.

There are many problems in Sun Tzu's research. It is impossible for this society to draw conclusions and make public statements on some controversial issues. Academic problems can only be solved through scientific research and democratic discussion, and there is no other way. Undoubtedly, adopting non-scientific and non-academic attitudes and means will not help or even hinder the healthy development of Sun Tzu's research.

Sun Tzu's research is developing, and China's Sun Tzu's art of war research society will also keep pace with the trend of the times. I hope that Qi Xin, our colleague and friend who cares about and loves Sun Tzu's research, will work together, stick to Scientific Outlook on Development and make new contributions to building a harmonious society and the cause of peace and justice.
