Wuzi

Wuzi

The "Wuzi" (zh-tsp|t=吳子|s=吴子|p=Wúzǐ) is a classic Chinese work on military strategy by Wu Qi.

It is said there were other two books on the art of war by Wu Qi, but both were lost, hence leaving Wu Zi as the only existing book carrying Wu's military thoughts. The earliest "Wuzi" edition dates to the Song Dynasty (960-1279).

The book analyzes that there are five reasons for wars -- desire for fame, want of profit, accumulated evils, civil strife, and famine -- and five kinds of troops -- righteous, strong, firm, violent, and rebellious; the book also pays much attention to war preparedness. It is considered to be on par with Sun Tzu's "The Art of War".
