Abstract:
One of the most prominent figures of the era Warring States period can be called the strategist Wu Qi. Whatever kingdom he served, it grew stronger and expanded its domains. Among the 76 wars he has fought in his entire life, he won 64, drew 12 and never lost.
This is probably why the treatise on the art of war the Wuzi is as popular as the famous book «The Art of War» by another Chinese strategist, Sun Tzu. Both books are included in the Seven Military Classics of Ancient China. They are recognized as classical since the 11th century and included in most military encyclopedias. Some analysts even believe that modern China is developing according to the canons described in the Wuzi.
