The Seven Military Classics Of Ancient China (History and Warfare)
《武经七书》
translated by
Ralph D. Sawyer
拉尔夫·D·索耶 译
The Seven Military Classics is one of the most profound studies of warfare ever written, a stanchion in sinological and military history.
《武经七书》是有史以来最为深刻的战争研究之一，是对于汉学和军事研究的支柱文献。
It presents an Eastern tradition of strategic thought that emphasizes outwitting one's opponent through speed, stealth, flexibility, and a minimum of force — an approach very different from that stressed in the West.
这本书呈现了东方的战略思想传统，强调从速度、暗中行动、灵活性和最小的武力投入上如何做到以智取胜，这和西方强调的方式是截然不同的。
Safeguarded for centuries by the ruling elite of imperial China, even in modern times these writing shave been known only to a handful of Western specialists. This volume contains seven separate essays, written between 500 BCE and 700 CE, that preserve the essential tenets of strategy distilled from the experience of the most brilliant warriors of ancient China.
历朝历代，这些文章就被当权精英所掌控，即使在现代也只为一小部分西方学者所了解。这本书包含七篇不同的文章，于公元前500年到公元700年之间写就，保存着从中国古代最杰出的战士的经验中，提炼出的最基本的战略原则。
