How college students learn and inherit Sun Tzu's art of war and other traditional Chinese military culture of excellence into the country

Promoting the ancient Chinese military cultural tradition and drawing wisdom from it is undoubtedly an important initiative to strengthen the construction of China's military cultural soft power. Sun Tzu's Art of War is the root classic of Chinese military cultural tradition, and has played an important role in the construction of China's military cultural soft power since ancient times. As far as the level of military strategic culture is concerned, the essence of The Art of War is mainly reflected in the following points.

First, the concept of war centered on the importance of war, prudent war, war preparation and good war. According to Sun Tzu, "the military is the most important thing of the country", war and military issues are related to the survival of the country, so we should attach great importance to war. Attaching great importance to war, we must strengthen the preparation for war, "not rely on its not come, rely on me to wait for also; not rely on its not attack, rely on me to have not attack", to "wait for the Yu not Yu". At the same time, the use of military and war means must be careful, must be out of the "security of the whole army" purpose, non-profit not move, non-crisis not war, non-gain not use. If you have to use the means of war, you must be good at war, that is, good at using the means of cutting strategy, cutting traffic, cutting soldiers and other means of war and victory.

The second is to "Tao" as the first, "to people but not to people" of the war victory concept. Sun Tzu put "Tao, heaven, earth, will, law" this "five things", and "the Lord has the Tao", "will have the ability", The "five things" of "the lord has the way", "the general has the ability", "the heaven and earth", "the decree", "the soldiers are strong", "the soldiers are practiced", and "the rewards and punishments are clear", "Reward and punishment is clear" the "seven plans" as the basic conditions to win the war and predict the war victory or defeat, of which "Road" (i.e. enlightened politics) is the primary factor to win the war, but also the most important factor to predict the war victory or defeat. The "Way" (i.e. enlightened politics) is the primary factor in winning a war, and also the most important condition for predicting the victory or defeat of a war. In the case of the "five things" and the "seven plans", the victory of the war depends on who can take the initiative of the strategic tactics "to the people but not to the people".

Thirdly, it is the "total victory", "first victory", "knowledge victory", "easy victory", The third is the strategic guidance concept of "total victory", "first victory", "knowledge victory", "easy victory", "power victory", "wisdom victory", "courage victory" and "cultivation" as a whole. According to Sun Tzu, the objective conditions for victory are not yet the reality of victory, and in order to achieve victory, strategic guidance must be correctly carried out. The highest level of strategic guidance is "giving up an army without a fight", and to reach this level, we must set up a "nationwide", followed by "breaking the country"; "the whole army", followed by "breaking the army"...... . The "total victory" view of strategic guidance, strategic guidance should always be "soldiers do not want to be full of profit", in order to achieve the purpose of "no war and give up the army". The realization of the strategic goal of "total victory" must be based on "first victory", "knowledge of victory" and "easy victory", "Power to win", "wisdom to win" and "courage to win" on the basis. Only to create and have won the defeated enemy's "first win" strength and conditions, can "know the enemy and know yourself" in the case of scientific calculation to determine the victory or defeat of the "calculation" (conditions), to grasp the way (law) to win. Road (law), and good use of strategy to make victory "easy to win" the enemy, "win the enemy has been defeated" correct strategic decisions, through "I specialize in the enemy points" the use of force, so that the generals and soldiers Through the utilization of military power, the generals and soldiers were united and fought bravely to win the war. What is even more valuable is that Sun Tzu believed that war is conducted for the sake of victory, but not only for the sake of victory, but also to consider how to consolidate the victory after the victory - that is, how to "cultivate merit". If one is not good at "cultivating one's strength" after victory, and cannot consolidate the victory and utilize the benefits brought by the victory, then it is nothing but a waste of life and wealth. Repairing one's achievements after a victory is an important strategic issue to be considered by enlightened rulers and outstanding generals.

Sun Tzu's The Art of War, with its philosophical thinking and broad system of strategic theories, has become a masterpiece of ancient Chinese military thought, and its strategic concepts are the ideological basis for the formation of China's strategic cultural traditions of peace, unity, development, defense, strategy and victory, and are internalized as the core principles of the soft power of traditional Chinese military culture. Its strategic concepts are the ideological basis for the formation of China's strategic cultural tradition of peace, unity, development, defense, strategy and victory, and have been internalized as the core concepts of the soft power of traditional Chinese military culture. When we think about how to build the military cultural soft power of Chinese characteristics today, we should not only combine the characteristics of the times to inject the core concepts of China's military cultural soft power with the characteristics of the times, but at the same time, we should also carry forward the traditional Chinese military culture represented by Sun Tzu's "Art of War", so as to lay a solid strategic and cultural foundation for the enhancement of China's military cultural soft power, and to find a path of self-improvement, enrichment, and sustainable growth.
