When China was still ruled by various royal dynasties, there are many interesting stories that can be learned and used as lessons to this day. One of them was during the Wu Dynasty, which was led by King Helu. At that time, King Helu had a military philosopher named Sun Tzu, who understood war strategies in detail and was effective in bringing down enemies.
After his success in the Boju war, Sun Tzu finally made a book entitled “The Art of War” which we can still find in bookstores to this day. In the book “The Art of War” Sun Tzu describes, plans and even clearly describes how to defend and attack in a war.
Sun Tzu emphasized the importance of judgment, seeking quick victory, launching attacks and using spies in war. The book also explains ‘how we can read the opponent’s movements’ clearly to know what steps to take next.
Uniquely, the book by Sun Tzu became a mandatory textbook for dynasties after the Wu Dynasty to Mao Zedong’s communist government in modern times. Even the book can be applied to business, government, politics and society.
