Has Wu Qi seen The Art of War ?

Of course, I have seen that Wu Qi lived about -440---381, and Sun Wu lived about -535---470; Wu Qi was about 90 years later than Sun Wu. Wu Qi's Art of War and Sun Wu's Art of War are collectively known as Sun Wu's Art of War, and he and Sun Wu are collectively known as Sun Wu, just like Confucian Confucius and Mencius, Taoist Lao Zhuang .........Wu Qi said that Wuhou was inferior to virtue in the situation, but he did it in Chu, and he died in a violent manner. Sad husband!

According to the "Historical Records", the thirteen chapters of "The Art of War" did not spread widely and quickly after it came out in Wu in 512 BC, and the reasons for this are roughly the secret of the "thirteen articles" by the Wu royal court, the backward media at that time, the disparagement of this book by the society in the society of valuing courtesy and ignoring fraud, and its value was not discovered by the people of the time. It was not until the Warring States Period (-476---221) that the book began to be widely disseminated, and the earliest "Sun Tzu fever" in Chinese history appeared. So Wu Qi must have seen Sun Tzu's Art of War.

It should have been seen, Sun Wu's Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Qi was in the early Warring States period, and the time is a relationship between before and after, and it is reasonable for Wu Qi to see Sun Tzu.

I think Sun Tzu and Wu Zi also have similarities in content. Like what.

1。Those who know the soldiers are not confused, and they are endless. - Sun Tzu's Art of War.

The disaster of the three armies is the most hesitant, and the harm of the three armies is born of loneliness. - Wu Zi's Art of War.

It is all the meaning of marching and fighting wars, and not hesitating.

2。Therefore, the three armies can win the spirit, and the general can win the heart. - Sun Tzu's Art of War.

They will be foolish and trustworthy, but they can be deceived and seduced; greedy and ignorant, but goods and bribes; There is no plan for light change, but it can be worked for; The upper rich and coquettish, the lower greedy and resentful, can be separated; Suspicious of advance and retreat, they have no support, and they can be shocked away. - Wu Zi's Art of War.

I always feel that the content of Wu Zi's sentence is a supplement to Sun Tzu's Art of War, "generals can win hearts".

3。Don't go to Gaoling, don't go against the back hills, don't be subordinate, don't attack the sharp pawns, don't eat the bait, don't exhaust the food, the siege will be que, and the poor will not chase. - Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Let the cheap and brave light and sharp to taste it, in the north, no business, watch the enemy's coming, a lifetime together (every move), its politics is reasonable, its pursuit of the north is not in time, its see the profit is not known; Such a general is called a wise general, and he should not fight. - Wu Zi's Art of War.

These two sentences are also quite close.

4。The man who drums and raises the flag, so the eyes and ears of one person are also: if the person is single-minded, the brave shall not advance alone, and the cowardly shall not retreat alone, and this is the law of supporting the public. - Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Where the way of marching, there is no festival of aggression - Wu Zi's Art of War.

The ear is mighty and cannot be cleared; The eyes are mighty, and they must not be unknown; The heart is powerful and the punishment must not be severe. - Wu Zi's Art of War.

It's so similar.

Haven't seen it. Sun Tzu's Art of War was presented to Queen Wu by Sun Wu, and it was listed as a top-secret document, locked in an iron cabinet where no one could see it. Sun Tzu's Art of War became popular in the late Warring States period.

In the Western Han Dynasty, people could only see it. The Art of War unearthed from the Han Tomb in Yinque Mountain was during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

Sun Wu served in Helu, who died in 496 BC. Wu Qi served as Marquis Wen of Wei, who succeeded to the throne in 445 BC, and it can be inferred that Sun Wu appeared about 50 years earlier than Wu Qi. More than 50 years is more likely, after all, Marquis Wen only succeeded to the throne in 445 BC.

Considering the lifespan of people at that time, Sun Wu was at least equivalent to Wu Qi's grandfather, Wu Qi's actual combat was richer than Sun Wu's, and the theory was more colloquial and more direct. After all, those who can write the art of war must read a lot of theoretical books, and the conditions exist. At that time, the atmosphere was very open.

There are several main differences between the two:

1. "The Art of War" is a book of war, written by Sun Wu, and Sun Wu's law of war does not refer to a certain book, but refers to the general name of the works on the art of war written by Sun Wu and Wu Qi;

2. The "Art of War" book describes the thoughts and strategies of the main Dan Lu and the soldiers of Sun Wu, and the law of war of Sun Wu not only replaces all Sun Wu's thoughts, but also has the thoughts of Yasheng Wu Qi;

3. The purpose of writing the book "The Art of War" is to teach and inherit, and the Law of War of Sun and Wu is mainly used for research and comparison, comparing the strategies of Sun Wu and Wu Qi.

"Wu Zi" is one of the "Seven Books of Wujing", and Xiang and "Sun Tzu" (Sun Wu Art of War) are said to be quite rich in military thought. To sum up, there are mainly the following points: (1) the strategic thinking of "cultivating virtue and virtue at home and managing military preparedness externally", he emphasized that we should first do a good job in domestic politics, "teach the people, be close to the people", cultivate virtue and practice benevolence, and achieve coordination and unity within the state and the army, so that we can use troops externally; At the same time, he also stressed the need to strengthen the country's military strength, and to "simply recruit good materials to be prepared" and "take precautions as treasures."

2) Tactical thinking of improvisation. "Wu Tzu" attaches great importance to the differences and changes in various things in war, stresses the need to reconnoiter and understand the quality of the enemy's troops, the characteristics of the generals, the time they occupy, the favorable location, and the situation of the people, grasp the changes in the battlefield, and adopt different combat methods according to different situations. He also summed up the tactical principles with regularity such as "do not suspect when attacking", "do not suspect when attacking", and "avoid doubt" under what circumstances.

3) The idea of "governing the army first" and "teaching and precepts first". He believes that whether the army can win a war depends entirely on the superiority in quantity, but on the quality of the army. The soldiers "don't care about the crowd" and "win by governance".

It is required that the army be trained to be "courteous when it lives, powerful when it moves, and cannot be pursued when it advances, and cannot be pursued after retreating," and that the characteristics of each soldier and soldier should be brought into play so that they can "fight happily," "fight well," and "die happily." Generals are required to have good moral character and profound strategy, possess the five conditions of "reason, preparation, fruitfulness, precept, and covenant", and know how to use the "four machines" of soldiers. It is emphasized that "there will be heavy rewards for advancement, heavy punishments for retirement, and faith in deeds" to encourage soldiers.

4) Naïve military philosophical ideas. Wu Tzu had a simple understanding of the essence of war, and he summarized the reasons for the war into five points: "One is to fight for fame, the second is to fight for profit, the third is to accumulate evil, the fourth is to fight for civil strife, and the fifth is to be due to hunger."

He also believes that war has different natures such as righteous soldiers, strong soldiers, rigid soldiers, violent soldiers, and counter-soldiers. He simply recognized that war has a dual nature, and when he analyzed the politics, economy, people's conditions, and armies of various countries, he saw not only their strengths and strengths, but also their weaknesses and weaknesses. He recognized the development and change of things in war, especially the transformation of things into their opposite, and believed that the more victories in battles, the more disasters in the future would be bred, "those who win the world by numbers are rare, and those who die are many."

The author of Wu Zi's Art of War is Wu Qi.

The Art of War is a military work as famous as The Art of War, which is said to have been written by Wu Qi, a famous military scientist during the Warring States period. Wu Qi, a military strategist during the Warring States Period, later generations called him and his grandson "Sun Closed Zhong Slippery Wu", the author of "Wu Zi", "Wu Zi" and "Sun Tzu" are also known as "Sun Wu Art of War", which occupies an important position in ancient Chinese military classics.

- Wu Zi's Art of War.

Wu Qi's Art of War, also known as "Wu Zi", is an important military work, written by Wu Qi, a famous general of the Warring States Period, and is one of the representative works that reflect ancient military thought. "Wu Tzu" mainly discusses the issue of the concept of war, which is not only against the belligerence of the people, but also opposes the re-cultivation of virtue and the abolition of military equipment. It believes that only by cultivating virtue internally and externally can the country become strong and prosperous.

Wu Zi's Art of War proposes to win by governing and strict rewards and punishments, and advocates the implementation of "heavy rewards for advancing and heavy punishments for retreating" in the army, so that "orders are forbidden, and no offenses are committed". He put forward the idea of "using the law of soldiers, giving priority to teaching and precepts," and advocated that through strict training in military training, non-commissioned officers should master various combat skills and enhance the combat effectiveness of the entire army. Emphasizing "simple recruitment of good materials".

Wu Hou asked: What is the first way to use soldiers? From the beginning of the said:

Xianming four light two heavy one letter. Said: What do you mean?

He said: "Make the land light on horses, horses light on chariots, chariots light on people, and people light on war." Knowing that it is easy to know, the ground is light; When the straw is cut, the horse is light and the chariot is light; If there is more than enough anointing, the car will be light

If the armor is sharp, the person will fight lightly. There is a heavy reward for entering, and there is a heavy punishment for retreating, and the practice is faithful.

If the judgment can reach this, so will the victorious one. Wu Hou asked: How can a soldier win?

Say to each other: Win by governance. Then he asked:

Don't care? He said: If the laws and regulations are not clear, the rewards and punishments are not believed, the money is not stopped, and the drums are not advanced, although there are millions, what is the use?

The so-called ruler, the residence is polite, the movement is powerful, the advance can not be appropriate, the retreat can not be chased, but there is a section in front, the left and right should be resigned, although it is absolutely Chen, although it is scattered.

With it, with it. Its people can be united but inseparable, available but not tired, cast to the place, the world is not dang, the name of the father and son soldiers. Wu Zi said:

All the way of marching, there is no violation of the festival of progress, there is no loss of suitable food, and there is no overwhelming strength. These three, so let it be ordered. Let it be ordered, and the rule will be born.

If the progress is not moderate, the diet is uncomfortable, and the horse is tired and tired, so he does not let it order. The order is abolished, the residence is chaotic, and the war is defeated. Wu Zi said:

Where there is a battlefield and a place where corpses stand, if you die, you will live, and if you are lucky, you will die. Its good generals, such as sitting in a leaky boat, burning under the house, so that the wise are not able to plan, the brave are not angry, and the enemy can also suffer.

Therefore, it is said: The harm of using soldiers is the greatest hesitation, and the disaster of the three armies is born of suspicion. Wu Zi said:

Mrs. often dies what she can't do, and loses what she can't do. Therefore, the law of the military is the first to teach the precepts. One person learns to teach war into 10 people, 10 people learn to teach war into 100 people, 100 people learn to teach war into 1000 people, 1,000 people learn to teach war into 10,000 people, and 10,000 people learn to teach war to become three armies.

Treat the near and far, wait for the work with ease, and wait for the hungry with fullness.

Round and square, sit and get up, stop and stop, left and right, front and back, divide and combine, knot and dissolve. Every change is a habit and a soldier. It's a matter of time.

Wu Zi said: The order of teaching war: the short one holds a spear and halberd, the old one holds a bow and crossbow, the strong one holds a banner, the brave one holds a golden drum, the weak one is raised, and the wise man is the mastermind.

Compared with the township, Shiwu protects each other.

One drum to organize the army, two drums to practice Chen, three drums to eat, four drums to distinguish strictly, and five drums to do. Hear the drums and then raise the flag. Wu Hou asked

Is there a way for the three armies to advance and stop? From the beginning said: No day stove, no faucet.

The one who is in the sky, the mouth of the big valley, the one who is the head of the dragon, the end of the mountain. The green dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, the Vermilion Bird in the front, the Xuanwu in the back, swaggering on the top, and engaging in the bottom.

At the time of the battle, the wind is judged, the wind is smooth and the wind is followed, and the wind is against the firm and waits for it. Wu Hou asked: How can there be a way for all pawns to ride?

He said: The husband and the horse will be safe in their place, suitable for their water and grass, and full of hunger. In winter, it is warm, and in summer, it is cool, and the hairy mane is carved, and it falls in all directions.

His ears and eyes are not shocked; Xi Qi chases, idleness stops.

People and horses go on a blind date, and then they can be made. The equipment of the chariot and the saddle will be strong. Every horse will not be hurt by the end, but by the beginning, and by hunger, but by fullness.

The sun and twilight are far away, and they must be counted up and down, and they would rather work for people than for horses. There is more than enough to prepare for the enemy to overthrow me. Those who can understand this are rampant in the world. 」
