Features: The Art of War is a classic in military studies, revered by military strategists, politicians, and thinkers throughout history in China and abroad. Many great figures have been profoundly influenced by it, achieving extraordinary success. Scholars and artists in China's generations have also greatly cherished The Art of War, with numerous researchers, annotators, translators, illustrators, and bibliographers contributing to its study. Since the last century, it has also drawn the attention of economists and entrepreneurs, becoming a treasure trove for business management. Clearly, this work of just over six thousand characters has become a source of pride for the Chinese nation.
The outstanding contemporary calligrapher Mr. Liu Bingsen, with his exceptional skill in clerical script, and driven by a deep passion for The Art of War, spent over three years completing this artistic creation that records the entire text. There are many extant versions of The Art of War, with minor variations in wording across different editions. During the publishing process, Mr. Liu and the editorial team meticulously revised the original text based on multiple editions.
Mr. Liu Bingsen currently serves as a researcher at the Palace Museum, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of the Chinese Federation of Literary and Art Circles, vice chairman of the Buddhist Association of China, and vice chairman of the China Calligraphers Association. Despite his busy schedule, he took the time to author such a monumental work, which fully demonstrates his rigorous scholarship and dedication.
