On Thirty-Six Stratagems (Chinese Edition)

It was originally a book on the art of war and its content is limited to the field of war. In the principle of making the past serve the present and making the military serve the civil, we try to make it a marginal interdiscipline and regard it as a book for comprehensive resourcefulness, thus giving it the characteristics of the times besides reflecting the style and features of history. This book, authored by Cui Wenliang, includes five parts ,that is, the original texts, the explanatory notes, the translations, the explanation, and lastly examples. With these five parts, the readers could know thoroughly the basic contents of the stratagems and thus apply the 36 stratagems skillfully. Since its first publication in 1996, this book has been reprinted for 16 times and a Korean edition has come out in Korea. This edition tries to simplify by cutting out the superfluous and all that left are the most brilliant and representative cases. Thus, it was more readable and interesting.
