The key idea of “Art of War” is to codify the general strategic character of conflict and, in the process, offer practical advice about how to win military conflicts. Sun Tzu himself probably wouldn’t know the Game Theory, but what he wrote in the ancient cold weapon era was really close to the interpretation of the Modern Game Theory. Being one of the very early books that talks about game theory (not directly because people don’t know about game theory in ancient times), I want to find out how he came up and translated his thoughts into writings that influenced the war history of China (if I may say, forged the ancient Chinese military history). Even thought it was written in such an ancient time, the ideas are still being used by people on politics, finance, business, and so on. Sun Tzu, the writer of “Art of War”, wrote this book during his lifetime around 500 BC. That battle is usually not about how many soldiers or how good the armors/weapons are, but a strategist who can predict the enemy action and outsmart them in the battle. A battle that could change the flow of the war. However, there is one thing in common that is really fascinating. They are not exactly based on history because it tells the story in more of a literary approach.
I grew up reading a lot of Chinese historical novels on wars and domination (like Romance of the Three Kingdoms).
