The Book of Changes and The Thirty-Six Stratagems (Chinese Edition)

The Book of Changes is one of the oldest of the Chinese classic texts. The book contains a divination system comparable to Western geomancy. In Western cultures and modern East Asia, it is still widely used for this purpose. The Thirty-Six Stratagems was a Chinese essay used to illustrate a series of stratagems used in politics, war, as well as in civil interaction, often through unorthodox or deceptive means. The Stratagems are often misnamed as strategies; however, a stratagem is not the same thing as a strategy. This book use The Book of Changes and western operational research theory to research The Thirty-Six Stratagems.
