China in the Classics - The Art of War

[@lynndaris3534]

I’m so glad that they have made these very important Chinese Classics available to English speakers! The series are of vital importance for all to see the true Chinese history and culture! I watch them with my children so they know the way of the path of a virtuous person! Thank you CGTN!

Yes, for the benefits of those who don't understand Mandarin. China should also target the non Chinese speaking in the world to counter western media double standard reporting. I like the Sun Tze art of war, not to fight wars but can be used to prevent unnecessary war created by enemies.

[@1001001a]

@@choonhockong8215 Yes.. part of the art is in fact also for fighting wars (when necessary). Modern people have the illusion that wars are evil. They are not. Wars exists because of conflict between humans. And because.. thats human nature. And just because im not firing a bullet or cannon at you doesnt mean im not at war with you.

[@zishenzhao8224]

Sun Tzu’s thought of “subduing the enemy without fighting” is the best choice to prevent war, maintain peace and benefit humankind

Sun Tzu’s teachings and ideologies really deserve to be read and researched, as they’re still useful nowadays

Sun tzu was just another scoundrel. Every nation has had Machiavellian thinkers, but to elevate them to civilizational and iconic status just shows the duplicity, immorality, and cravenness of the common people. In Bharata, the equivalent Chanakya is held is low regard. Bharata has been sacrificing its blood for centuries keeping Islam from engulfing Asia/China, and the Chinese showed their duplicitous and backstabbing nature by attacking this land and supporting such vicious scoundrels as Taliban. And they have been doing this for centuries. There is something seriously wrong with the Chinese, they lack an ethical core - I say this knowing full well the problems of colonial depictions, and the high struggles of the Real Chinese the Boxers, whom your CCP betrayed. You are nobody and you will remain so. Satyamev Jayate.

This new style of show in with multi dimension characters and also screen is the first time , I ever seen anything before and if I can give it a 1,000 points , I will gladly do so. This refreshing style to explain Chinese Classics is tops !! Chinese civilization will last forever as it had lasted for the last 5,000 years. This show MUST be shown and ingrained to all the overseas Chinese who had one way or the other reside in the Western countries. Its clearly manifested "with so many words" the reason why China had to be prepared even there is peace...

Not only the Chinese. I think anyone should see this. Very interesting stuff.

China is popularizing all important classics through very innovative time-weaving dramatizations, and very emotionally-charged performances. Chinese Renaissance is subtly happening, many more masters will surface to guide us when the time is ripe.

Over the past 3000 years, China has fought with every power that has risen on the grasslands, and every ethnic group and every battle has been recorded in detail. There are 16 completely different ethnic groups, including the Huns, Mongolia, Xianbei and Turks, Qiang... and the Arabs. Japan has 4 wars, various civil wars, and a total of 5,430 wars, most of which involve 100,000-million battles. The sacrifices of countless people have defended and maintained this civilization.

art of war Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting. Thus the highest form of generalship is to balk the enemy’s plans; the next best is to prevent the junction of the enemy’s forces; the next in order is to attack the enemy’s army in the field; and the worst policy of all is to besiege walled cities. 2500 years pass ，this word still active.
