Stratagems to assist in the understanding of Chinese politics, war, and civil interation
2019-01-16
The Thirty-Six Stratagems is a Chinese essay used to illustrate a series of stratagems used in politics, war, and civil interaction.

Its focus on the use cunning and deception both on the battlefield and in court have drawn comparisons to Sun Tzu's The Art of War. It also shares thematic similarities with Zhang Yingyu's The Book of Swindles, a late-Ming-dynasty work focused on the realms of commerce and civil society.

#1  Want american translation of Chinese ancient military classics, check out Ralph D. Sawyer's Amazon page. Much of what the Chinese are currently doing is just what they have been honed to an art form over thousands of years.
