China's ancient culture is brilliant, and the art of war is the first in the world, but it has been surpassed by JapanUncover the shocking story behind "The Art of War"!
Ancient Chinese culture has flourished since ancient times, and many fields have created world firsts, and the art of war is one of them. According to research, China was the first country in the world to study the art of war and form a tactical system, and it was also one of the earliest countries to emerge military books. Regrettably, however, China is far inferior to Japan in terms of the dissemination of military documents.
Japan: The supreme interpreter of the Art of War.
Although The Art of War originated in China, it was Japan that studied it most deeply. Japan has shown unprecedented enthusiasm and depth in the study of military scripts. After nearly a century of the Warring States period, Japan entered the Tokugawa Shogunate period, which emphasized the unity of civil and military affairs, and many scholars devoted themselves to the study of the art of war.
According to the literature, there were more than 50 schools of thought in Japan that specialized in the study of the Art of War at that time, and scholars of each school commented, explained, applied, and studied the Art of War, and the research results were rich and colorful. During the period of printing and commentary, there were more than 100 schools of military writing, and a large number of scholars who were proficient in the Art of War emerged, each with their own unique views. As a result, many widely disseminated annotated editions appeared, among which the most famous are "Sun Tzu's Copy", "Sun Wu's Excerpts", and "Sun Tzu's Proverbs".
The rise of military science and the far-reaching influence of the Art of War.
With the passage of time, the Japanese martial arts school "Military Science" emerged based on the theoretical basis of "Five Things", "Seven Strategies" and "Sophistry", and "The Art of War" became an important part of its far-reaching influence. It can be said that "The Art of War" has had a profound and extensive impact on the Japanese military circles.
By the time of the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese had reached their peak in the study and application of the Art of War. What makes the Japanese most proud is that during the Meiji period, Japanese scholars no longer confined themselves to the military value of military writings, but applied their theoretical ideas to the social, economic, and life fields.
Sun Tzu and the Business War" is a book that pioneered the application of the Art of War to economics. Japanese scholars introduced the wisdom of the Art of War into the economic realm, and the influence of this idea even transcended national borders. After the outbreak of World War II, Japan, as an aggressor country, re-emphasized the importance of the Art of War, and the military even set up a special research institute.
Sun Tzu's Art of War in Japan: From Military to Social to Economic.
During this period, many literati and scholars re-examined the value of the Art of War, especially after the defeat of the war, when the Japanese began to rethink the feasibility of Sun Tzu's strategic thinking on the Art of War. After the unanimous decision of the emperor and the military circles, the proofreading and research of the original version of the "Art of War" was resumed, and derivative works such as "The Lectures of Sun Tzu Gojin" appeared. By the fifties of the last century, the Japanese began to apply the Art of War to management.
Japan introduced the Art of War into management.
A school called "The Art of War" emerged and applied the theoretical system of "The Art of War" to management, and its influence spread throughout the world. Scholars from all over the world have also begun to discover the great value contained in the Art of War, which has sparked a boom in the study of military books in many Western countries.
Takeo Ohashi, a Japanese entrepreneur, studied "The Art of War" and applied it to the fields of economics and management, and wrote the book "Managing with the Art of War". Unlike the modern "Chicken Soup for the Soul", the book promotes the idea of doing business based on the Art of War. By adopting this theoretical system, Takeo Ohashi's business efficiency has been greatly improved. "This business model, based on the Art of War, is more time-sensitive and efficient than some Western business models," he said. ”
The Art of War: A New Era of Technological Development.
Since the beginning of this century, the Japanese research community of "The Art of War" has moved to a new field and has begun to try to combine military literature with the development of science and technology. In recent years, professional books such as "Sun Tzu's New Interpretation" and "Sun Tzu's Research on the History of Thought" have emerged, which provide important references for new researchers of "The Art of War".
However, it is regrettable that although there are many original and derivative works of The Art of War in China, Chinese scholars still do not pay enough attention to its research. This objective fact is deeply ironic, and we should deeply reflect on history, and hope that in the future, scholars in our country will pay more attention to this classic and not fall into the mistake of history again.
Sun Tzu's Art of War: The Inheritance of Military Letters and International Competition.
This article details the prosperity and inheritance of the ancient Chinese art of war, and provides an in-depth analysis of the historical reasons why Japan surpassed its motherland in the study of military scripts. The article mentions that although the Art of War originated in China, Japan has achieved great success in in-depth research and wide dissemination. This led me to think about the current state of the study of military books in Chinese academic circles and the enthusiasm for the study of Japan.
First of all, the article points out that the prosperity of ancient Chinese culture has made it "the world's first" in the field of the art of war. At the same time, however, China was relatively inadequate in terms of the dissemination of military documents, especially when compared to Japan. This raises my question as to whether the Chinese academic community fully understands the value of military books. Is there a certain degree of negligence in the study of the traditional culture of the art of war, which makes this inheritance relatively lagging behind in the world?
Secondly, the article mentions the profound study and extensive application of the Art of War in Japan. Since the Warring States period, Japan has conducted in-depth research on the art of war, forming several schools of thought, and making various annotations and interpretations of the Art of War. Especially during the Meiji Restoration, Japanese scholars even applied the art of war to the fields of economics and society, providing new ideas for the development of their country. This makes me wonder if Chinese scholars can consider its application in contemporary society more comprehensively when dealing with military books, and integrate their theories into a wider field.
In addition, the article also mentions the case of Japanese entrepreneur Takeo Ohashi who introduced the Art of War into economics and achieved remarkable success. This provides a model for Chinese entrepreneurs to learn from. Can we draw inspiration from this and integrate the wisdom of traditional culture into modern management and economic activities to drive innovation and development in China?
Finally, this paper points out the shortcomings of the current Chinese scholars' research on military scripts, and hopes to pay more attention to the study of military scripts in the future. This brings me to the question of cultural inheritance, do we need to be more active in promoting and inheriting excellent traditional culture, so that more people can understand and love this precious cultural heritage?
Overall, this article has sparked my attention to the study of Chinese military scripts, as well as my deep thinking about the application and inheritance of traditional culture in contemporary times. It is hoped that in the future, Chinese scholars will pay more attention to this field, not only make breakthroughs in theoretical research, but also integrate the wisdom of military books into practical application, and contribute more to the dissemination of Chinese culture in the world.
