    Thumbs up

    San Bin Fa Mo. By Sun Tzu 2400 years ago.

    The best win is by tricks (tactics and strategy).

    Xia Bin Gong Cheng.

    The worst way is to attack the castle.

    Bin Ze Xiong Qi Yei.

    Militarism or war is the worst disaster or instrument to attain your goal politically or other wise.

    Hekk.

    I love Sun Tzu Bin Fa. Every single word of the book.

    Some characters borrowed from Sun Tzu are used in Huang Pu Military Academy. The cradle of the Nationalist Army.

    Wisdom. Trust. Discipline. Courage. Honesty.
