By revealing the nature and important rules of warfare, Sunzi: The Art of War has had a tremendous influence on military, political and philosophical thought in China. Down the ages it has been called a "military classic," and its author a "military genius." This work, now over 2000 years old, has been translated into various languages since the 17th century, and even today has a profound influence all over the world. (China.org.cn October 24, 2006) |
