Topic: Sun Zi


In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  Talk:Sun Tzu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moreover, Sun Zi can always just redirect to Sun Tzu (and I just wrote redirects for Sun Tze and Sun Tsu), so people who don't know what to look up will probably get where they need to be anyway.
Sun Tzu is so important as an author that I think that even the little knowlege we have the facts, the speculation and how that has been derived deserves a detailed exposition.
I can't help but notice that this person's name, Sun Zi, is the same as the first two characters in the name of his book, Sun zi bing fa (I don't know Chinese, but I compared the Chinese characters in the articles).

 Sun Tzu - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Sun Tzu (孫子 also commonly written in pinyin : Sūn Zǐ) was the author of The Art of War, an influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy.
The only surviving source on the life of Sun Tzu is the biography written in the 2nd century BC by the historian Sima Qian, who describes him as a general who lived in the state of Wu in the 6th century BC.
Sun Pin, a descendent of Sun Tsu is also wrote a text known as the Art of War or possibly more accurately the Art of Warfare which was more concerned with the practical matters of warfare.

 Art of War by SunTzu [SunZi] -English Hypertext
Sun Tzu said: In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good.
Sun Tzu said: The control of a large force is the same principle as the control of a few men: it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers.
Sun Tzu said: Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted.

Sun Tzu (孫子 also commonly written in pinyin : Sūn Zǐ) was the author of The Art of War, an influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy (for the most part not dealing directly with tactics).
Sun Tzu's own work, The Art of War appears to provide a number of direct clues to his life, for example, war chariots described by Sun Tzu were used for a relatively brief period ending in the 4th century BC and so dates at least part of the work to that time.
Sun Bin, a descendent of Sun Tzu also wrote a text known as the Art of War although possibly a more accurate title might be the Art of Warfare since this was more directly concerned with the practical matters of warfare.

 Background of Confusius, Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu, Mencius and Sun Tzu
Mo Zi advocated universal love, the love for all without discrimination, and his love was totally different from the concept of benevolence taught by Confucius.
Zhuang Zi's denial of the differences between right and wrong, life and death, oneself and others, illusion and reality, his antagonism to progress and his longing for a return to the prehistoric times, reflected a deep sense of pessimism, similar to that expressed in Lao Zi.
Xun Zi's concept of nature was a step forward compared to the naive materialism or atheism initiated during the Spring and Autumn Period, and he also spoke of benevolence, but he emphasized the importance of rites.

Sun Zi's "Art of War", the world's oldest war manual written between about 506 to 496 B.C., is a short book with only 13 sections, each section seldom more than one page.
Sun Zi's strategic planning begins with a declaration of the "Business Mission" (Section 1) in hand: The art of war is of vital importance to the State.
The main impact of Sun Zi's Art of War is because its war reasoning is not only highly interesting and applicable to serious high pressure situations, but its exciting martial perspective would offer a rather effective mechanism to imprint into the reader's mind the sequential steps of "Strategic Planning".

 Sun Tzu : Sun Zi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Sun Zi (孫子 in pinyin : Sun1 Zi3), known as Sun Tzu to western scholars, was the author of The Art of War (an influential ancient Chinese book on the use of the military).
The only surviving source on the life of Sun Tzu is the biography written on the 2nd century BC by the historian Ssu-ma Ch'ien, who describes him as a general who lived in the state of Wu on the 6th century BC.
However, the biography isn't consistent with other sources about the period, and both the form and content of the book indicate that it was most likely written between 400 BC and 320 BC.

While appreciative of the philosophical richness of the Art of War, his edition stresses Sun Tzus practical origins and presents a translation that is both accurate and accessible.
This may be interesting to someone who's intention is to apply the theories of Sun Tzu; however it is not his writing but someone else's interpretation of its application.

Ici Sun Zi définit les cinq fondements de la science militaire selon lui, la doctrine, le ciel, la terre, le général et la discipline.
Stratégie offensive encore une fois, Sun Zi insiste tout de même que le but est de provoquer l'ennemi plutôt que de l'assaillir précipitamment, sûrement parce qu'il juge cela trop hardi ou téméraire.
