At first, the author of Thirty-six Strategies thought it was Tan Dao Ji, but after a lot of research, it was found that some strategies in art books came from the period after the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and Tan Daoji was indeed a strategist in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Therefore, the authorship of Thirty-six Strategies is controversial.
At present, the most common view is that "thirty-six stratagems" is just like "A Dream of Red Mansions", because according to a sentence in "The Biography of Wang Jingze in the Southern Qi Dynasty", "Tan Gong's thirty-six stratagems are the best policy, and your father and son should only listen to them".
It can be seen that this military book really began in Tan Daoji, but it was lost in the process of inheritance, so that future generations constantly revised this military book, and the final version of Thirty-six Plans was formed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Brief introduction of thirty-six plans
The book is very short, and every plan is a highly summarized word. There are 36 words in the 36-meter book: golden cicada, throwing a brick to attract jade, killing people with a knife, taking advantage of the situation, criticizing mulberry trees, taking advantage of the fire, catching thieves, closing the door to catch thieves, scaring snakes, fishing in troubled waters, crossing the sea, plotting against them, hiding the knife in the smile, attracting tigers out of the mountain, and being at ease.
Out of thin air, the east is diverted to the west, the trees are blooming, sneaking around, pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity, playing hard to get, rushing to the front, taking a salary from the bottom of the pot, trying to save Zhao from the empty city, attacking from afar, changing customers, taking stairs on the house, stealing columns, even recruiting, honey tricks, reviving the corpse, watching the fire from the other side, encircling Wei to save Zhao, and making a fake. It's catchy to read, and it's clear at a glance, which is very conducive to learning and reciting!
