Features: This book discusses laws, not rules—rules of competition, rules of life, or rules of etiquette. It delves into the will of heaven and human nature, focusing on natural laws and inherent patterns. It is not about individuals or specific places but about entire ethnic groups, civilizations, and humanity. The purpose is to explore the fundamental trajectory of human history and the underlying laws that arise from it. This book addresses inevitable events, not random occurrences; it examines the laws of development, competition, and society. It discusses things that are bound to happen, as given enough time, they will inevitably emerge and endure. It does not focus on ideas, strategies, or tactics—only on laws and major events. It emphasizes expressing one's nature rather than meticulously planning. This book explores the development of human history, not the progress of specific places, families, or individuals. It speaks of a bright future for humanity, addressing the sustainable existence, growth, and happiness of all humankind. Therefore, it cannot be explained purely through material means. If culture is discussed in that way, it would vanish. This book focuses on the inner direction of people—their spiritual and emotional inclinations—rather than external developments. Even when discussing changes and progress in society, economy, military, or art, these are all presented as serving the purpose of aligning with the inner values, beliefs, and ways of people. These changes must be understood within the context of a particular culture. The purpose of this book is to provide a fundamental direction, outlining a broad historical trajectory that may extend for decades or even centuries into the future.
