Sun Tzu's Art of War is called the treasure of the town and the classic of China's military strategists. It has a history of 2500 years since its birth, and it has been studied in all dynasties. Li Shimin said, "Look at the art of war, there is no Sun Wu". Sun Tzu's art of war is a strategy, and strategy is not a trick, but a great strategy and great wisdom. Sun Tzu's Art of War was written by Sun Wu, and Sun Bin, a descendant of Sun Tzu, was a disciple of Gui Guzi. Of course, this can't prove anything, but the content of Sun Tzu's Art of War appears many times in Guiguzi. For example, in Sun Tzu's Art of War, people are not influenced by others, while in Guiguzi, people are not influenced by others. Such ideas abound. Sometimes, it is not objective to say that Guiguzi actually plays a connecting role, connecting Sun Tzu and Sun Bin. Guiguzi was once called the art of war, and Sun Tzu's art of war was called the art of war. In fact, I have read Sun Tzu's Art of War and Guiguzi, and vice versa. One thing is certain, Guiguzi must have read The Art of War. It is not difficult to understand why Guiguzi's disciples Sun Bin and Pang Juan, military strategists, are known as military strategists.

Guiguzi is a trader and a planner. For every game of chess, everyone, Guiguzi stressed that we must know what kind of person the other side is, so that we can be appointed. Employing people is a science. Guiguzi said hundreds of words in his essay. In the final analysis, it is asking for help.

Guiguzi's active game

We should hire people we know, not people we don't know, even if we don't know them at all. Guiguzi said that conspirators don't hire people who are unknown. So the key is to control people, not to be controlled. Everything is under active control, not passive control. Sun Wu, an art strategist, also said in Sun Tzu's Art of War that a good soldier can hurt others not others, but himself. Based on this argument, there is some internal relationship between Guiguzi and Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Controlling people means taking the initiative, and being controlled means being manipulated. In fact, whether it is upstream talk, planning or war, it is an active game. The difference between a sage and a fool is that the attribute of the sage's way is yin, while the attribute of the fool's way is yang. This sentence is actually saying a truth. There is no conspiracy in the world, only conspiracy. Someone must ask, how? Don't you think Zhuge Liang is a master of design? In fact, it is the so-called conspiracy we see. In the final analysis, it is also a manifestation of conspiracy. It is precisely because of the conspiracy that saints will save the day and save the day. And a fool will encounter difficulties in doing anything. So Guiguzi told this truth to later generations at the end of the book.

IQ is not equal to wisdom.

Guiguzi divided the classification into saints and fools, which actually echoed the first one, remembering the sentence "The husband is virtuous and unworthy; Wisdom and stupidity; Brave and timid; Renyi; There is a difference. " Therefore, wise men can succeed and fools can fail. If further deduction, extinction can no longer exist, and danger will not be transformed into security. There is a destiny. This is the fundamental difference between a saint and a fool. Some people say that I have a high IQ, which is above 140. I have a bachelor's degree, a master's degree and a doctorate. Guiguzi's high IQ is certainly a good thing, but it cannot be called wisdom. True wisdom is inaction. People will neither know nor find the wisdom of saints. When a saint uses his wisdom, he will first think about whether it is possible, and then choose what to do. This is self-protection. Discover the impossible, choose things and do them for others. Therefore, the attribute of the sage's way is yin. As the saying goes, the change of heaven and earth lies in height, and the way for saints to control people lies in concealment. It's not just superstition, loyalty, benevolence and righteousness, but righteousness. Good-hearted, unscrupulous. Only those who can understand this meaning can communicate and act with it. So, by controlling people, let people from far and near surrender.

Guiguzi and Bole

There is a sentence in Guiguzi's essay, which is roughly divided into two versions, namely, Chen Puqing, Xu Fuhong and Tao Hongjing: Use, see if it is possible, choose one thing, so do it yourself; Look, choose things to do, so be a man. -Tao Hongjing used it, read it, chose something to do, and made it himself; Look, choose things to do, so be a man. -Xu is recognized. Yu Yue's "Reading Classics" said in the original collection of Taoist scriptures "See if it is possible" and "See if it is possible, see if it is possible". No, Yan Zi. The note in the Tao Jing: "You should also use wisdom, put your ancestors before yourself. Whether you can see it or not, choose one thing for it and do it yourself; Do what you see, do what you choose, and treat this as a person. "It is better to be close to Bolemen, and the sects hate each other for thousands of miles." Chen Pu Qing Dynasty and Xu Du agreed with this version, but the content of Tao Hongjing in the Southern Dynasties was different.

Can and can't, examine its strategy, and its original similarities and differences, this sentence in "Ye He" might as well be the key to open this sentence. The last paragraph of the essay is actually about the relationship between saints and fools. So Guiguzi thinks he can do it. What you can't do is to be a man. Just as Bole teaches people who are close to him to be inferior to horses, so he teaches disgusting people to be inferior to swift horses. It all varies from person to person. Bole is called a wise man because he is still teaching people to watch horses according to the relationship between relatives and friends. The same is true of scheming, and there are also schemes of oneself and others. Seeking for yourself refers to yourself and your allies around you, so you must know what to do and do it. For others, the benefit lies in him, not himself, so you can't see it. Therefore, the general principle of strategy implementation is intimacy and intimacy.
