Watching such a cultural program as "China in the Classics", from the perspective of unit time and unit income, it is very cost-effective, the harvest is great, the harvest is full, it can be said that it has obtained the most information in the unit time, which is a kind of "value-added enjoyment". In about 90 minutes, you are equivalent to watching a very complete play. In the program, there are four performance areas that can be freely switched, and through the presentation of film and television, the "wall" of the drama stage is completely broken, which really produces a unique effect of "drama film and television science", so that people get an immersive experience. The author has not entered the theater for many years to see a play, which can also be said to be an alternative compensation.
This kind of dramatic presentation of "China in the Classics", from director Tian Qinxin to the cast selected by director Tian Qinxin, to makeup, props, lighting, scene scheduling and the overall dramatic presentation effect, may also represent the highest level of drama in China. Of course, at present, the dramatic presentation of "China in the Classics" has also formed its own model and routine, lacking a little of the "unexpected, attacking it unprepared" advocated by the art of war. The soldier is also a kind of trickster, and the dramatist, who is also a kind of trick, also needs to have a kind of dramatic "unexpected, attacked unprepared", that is, the so-called unexpected and reasonable.
Of course, what is more important to watch "China in the Classics - Sun Tzu's Art of War" is that you can get a lot of information and knowledge related to "Sun Tzu's Art of War" "unit time". Historically, there have also been people who have repeatedly suspected that the author of Sun Tzu's Art of War is not Sun Wu. An important reason is that there are very few records of Sun Wu in historical documents. About Sun Wu's life deeds, mainly found in the "Records of History" and later "Wu Yue Chunqiu", "Yue Jie Shu" and other documents, but only a few words, it is difficult to become a kind of "history of faith". In addition, due to the loss of the "Art of War of Sun Yuan", people naturally think that "Sun Tzu's Art of War" may be "Sun Bing Art of War".
The program also unlocks this thousand-year-old historical case about "Sun Tzu's Art of War" for the audience: in 1972, bamboo janes unearthed from a Western Han tomb in Yinqueshan, Linyi, Shandong Province, confirmed that "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Sun Zhen's Art of War" each had their own books, and "Sun Zi's Art of War" was composed by Sun Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Professor Xue Guoan of the National Defense University explained: "Because at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Art of War of Sun Bing had been lost. After Sun Bing was dug up by Pang Juan, he worked hard to write a book of soldiers, and in 1972, Linyi, Shandong Province, excavated the bamboo Jane of the Western Han Dynasty, which allowed the "Art of War of Sun Zhen" to be re-published.
In the play, it is mentioned that 'and capturing Pang Juan, therefore, the reason why Sun Tzu did everything', this passage is in the "Art of War of Sun Yuan", which tells the story of Pang Juan being mobilized by Sun Zhen's strategy, which proves that "Sun Zi Art of War" and "Sun Zhen Art of War" each have military books..." Sun Wu and his military ideology are well-known in ancient and modern times, well-known at home and abroad, and are the most precious and outstanding cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. The author's personal familiarity with Sun Tzu's art of war also far exceeds that of the Analects and surpasses other literature and classics. Because there was a film and television company before, it had planned to adapt Sun Tzu's Art of War into an animation, and hired the author as the chief screenwriter and chief planner. To this end, the author has been reading the "Art of War of Sun Tzu" and its related materials and documents behind closed doors for a long time, and he also went to the National Defense University to visit the president of the "Sun Tzu Art of War" Research Association at that time, remembering that he was a major general. In order to write the script, I memorized all 13 articles of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and also read a large number of related books, many of which are some of the world's famous battle examples that embody Sun Tzu's art of war....
Of course, it is not that you are familiar with the art of war, and if you are familiar with the "Art of War of Sun Tzu", you can fight a war and win a war. Among them, the zhao state in history has a very profound lesson: Zhao Kuo, a famous general of the Zhao state, has a son, Zhao Kuo, who likes to talk about the military and often makes it difficult for Zhao Tou to stay, but Zhao Hao is not happy, and he said to his wife: Soldiers, death is also the place, and Kuo is easy to say. If Zhao does not include it, if it is necessary, those who break Zhao will also include it. ...... Zhao Hao's wife firmly remembered Zhao Hao's words, after the outbreak of the Battle of Changping, King Xiaocheng of Zhao wanted to use Zhao Kuo as a general, and Zhao Hao's widow was bitterly persuaded not to make Zhao Kuo a general, but King Zhao did not listen, and Zhao Hao's wife had no choice but to say: In case of defeat in this battle, please ask King Zhao not to involve Zhao Kuo's descendants. King Zhao agreed. Sure enough, Zhao Kuo was defeated in the Battle of Changping, and the 400,000 troops of the State of Zhao were completely destroyed, which eventually led to the defeat and destruction of the State of Zhao.
However, reading the Art of War and reading Sun Tzu's Art of War is also indispensable, of course, it is more important to use it flexibly. When studying military history, I once heard such a passage: Kaifeng looked down on Mao Zedong and thought that Marxism could not come out of the ravine; at the same time, he also ridiculed Mao Zedong and read "Sun Tzu's Art of War"... Mao Zedong himself believed that what he was most proud of militarily was the "four crossings of red water", which was actually the most typical "Sun Tzu's Art of War" said: "know each other and know oneself, never lose a hundred battles", "attack them unprepared, surprise them", "soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent".
Everyone also recognizes that Sun Tzu's Art of War is not only the art of war, but also philosophy, a philosophical thought, philosophical wisdom, and philosophical dialectics embodied through the art of war. The program vigorously promotes the ideas of "cautious warfare," "stopping war," and "stopping war for war" in "Sun Tzu's Art of War," and repeatedly emphasizes the fact that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, our ancestors realized the truth that "although the country is big, a warlike soldier will perish, and that "a soldier who yields without a war" is "a good person." Knowing the other and knowing oneself can survive a hundred battles is the immutable hard truth of mankind and even the entire universe... It is a pity that now some people do not know each other, nor do they know themselves, shouting about this and that every day, once it becomes a climate, it will bring disasters to the nation.
