Features: "Sixty-six and thirty-six, there is art in numbers, and numbers in art. Yin and Yang transform, and the opportunity lies within." The Thirty-Six Stratagems originated from ancient military tactics and have been widely applied in modern times. In the market, battlefield, and love field, as well as in politics, literature, and the entertainment world, they are almost everywhere. Where there is profit, there are the Thirty-Six Stratagems—no wonder the U.S. West Point Military Academy uses them as teaching material, and Japanese companies regard them as the holy grail of business warfare. However, the Thirty-Six Stratagems are indeed ancient, and their language is profound and difficult to understand. For modern people accustomed to fast-paced culture, reading them may feel unsuitable and somewhat heavy, lacking ease. This book not only introduces the original text, translations, and insightful comments but also uses humorous and unconventional language, paired with witty illustrations, to parody classic case studies. After reading, you will find that the Thirty-Six Stratagems can be understood and applied in this way, allowing you to effortlessly grasp their essence through a light and humorous approach.
