Transcriber’s Note
This is a complete unabridged transcription of Lionel Gile’s translation of The Art of War. See additional notes at the end of the book.
法 兵 子 孫
SUN TZŬ
ON THE
ART OF WAR
THE OLDEST MILITARY TREATISE IN THE WORLD
TRANSLATED FROM THE CHINESE WITH INTRODUCTION AND CRITICAL NOTES BY
LIONEL GILES, M.A.
Assistant in the Department of Oriental Printed Books and MSS. in the British Museum
LONDON
LUZAC & Co.
1910

The seventh volume of “Mémoires concernant l’histoire, les sciences, les arts, les mœurs, les usages, &c., des Chinois”[1] is devoted to the Art of War, and contains, amongst other treatises,“Les Treize Articles de Sun-tse,” translated from the Chinese by a Jesuit Father, Joseph Amiot. Père Amiot appears to have enjoyed no small reputation as a sinologue in his day, and the field of his labours was certainly extensive. But his so-called translation of Sun Tzŭ, if placed side by side with the original, is seen at once to be little better than an imposture. It contains a great deal that Sun Tzŭ did not write, and very little indeed of what he did. Here is a fair specimen, taken from the opening sentences of chapter 5:— De l’habileté
dans le gouvernement des Troupes. Sun tse dit: Ayez les noms de tous les Officiers tant généraux que subalternes; inscrivez les dans un catalogue à part, avec la note des talents & de la capacité de chacun d’eux, afin de pouvoir les employer avec avantage lorsque l’occasion en sera venue. Faites en sorte que tous ceux que vous devez commander soient persuadés que votre principale attention est de les préserver de tout dommage. Les troupes que vous ferez avancer contre l’ennemi doivent être comme des pierres que vous lanceriez contre des œufs. De vous à l’ennemi il ne doit y avoir d’autre différence que celle du fort au foible, du vuide au plein. Attaquez à découvert, mais soyez vainqueur en secret. Voilà en peu de mots en quoi consiste l’habileté & toute la perfection même du gouvernement des troupes.
Throughout the nineteenth century, which saw a wonderful development in the study of Chinese literature, no translator ventured to tackle Sun Tzŭ, although his
work was known to be highly valued in China as by far the oldest and best compendium of military science. It was not until the year 1905 that the first English translation by Capt. E. F. Calthrop, R.F.A., appeared at Tokyo under the title “Sonshi” (the Japanese form of Sun Tzŭ)[2]. Unfortunately, it was evident that the translator’s knowledge of Chinese was far too scanty to fit him to grapple with the manifold difficulties of Sun Tzŭ. He himself plainly acknowledges that without the aid of two Japanese gentlemen “the accompanying translation would have been impossible.” We can only wonder, then, that with their help it should have been so excessively bad. It is not merely a question of downright blunders, from which none can hope to be wholly exempt. Omissions were frequent; hard passages were wilfully distorted or slurred over. Such offences are less pardonable. They would not be tolerated in any edition of a Greek or Latin classic, and a similar standard of honesty ought to be insisted upon in translations from Chinese.

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE WORLD
I
THE WORLD IN SPACE
The story of our world is a story that is still very imperfectly known. A couple of hundred years ago men possessed the history of little more than the last three thousand years. What happened before that time was a matter of legend and speculation. Over a large part of the civilized world it was believed and taught that the world had been created suddenly in 4004 B.C., though authorities differed as to whether this had occurred in the spring or autumn of that year. This fantastically precise misconception was based upon a too literal interpretation of the Hebrew Bible, and upon rather arbitrary theological assumptions connected therewith. Such ideas have long since been abandoned by religious teachers, and it is universally recognized that the universe in which we live has to all appearances existed for an enormous period of time and possibly for endless time. Of course there may be deception in these appearances, as a room may be made to seem endless by putting mirrors facing each other at either end. But that the universe in which we live has existed only for six or seven thousand years may be regarded as an altogether exploded idea.

Manila is located on Manila Bay in the South China Sea. The bay is fed by the beautiful Pasig River. Manila, being the capital of The Philippines, is a modern mega-city made up of six smaller cities and 12 towns. It is both historic and artistic. It is rich and poor. It is modern and archaic. It is Manila!

One extremely popular place is the walled area of Intramuros. Dating back to Spanish Colonial times, it is historic and ancient. It is living history! Here you will find dungeons and rooms to make gunpowder. But Intramuros has another side, it is artistic. Intramuros is loaded with art galleries and museums. It is filled with quaint little shops, parks, and churches. Sidewalk cafes dot the landscape. The nightlife is active and fun…..lasting till the rising of the sun. Intramuros is alive!

Welcome back to another camping review it’s kind of a camping gear review and so today I wanted to cover a collapsible electric kettle and people go whoa you’re camping well this is true but keep in mind that camping can be in a tent it could be in a cabin it could be in a yurt it could be an RV it could be you know technically you could camp outside and but sleep in your car you got lots of options and so right now I mean I’m in a cabin out in a remote area of Oregon for example.

i mac or something right so this is what it looks like this is pretty simple right pretty small you can see it’s got a nice thin footprint just a simple little cable this right here is the handle so you can pour it okay so first things first is you take this little handle off and so there’s a little teeny we’ll call it’s like a bump and you it’s silicon like a little silicone bump and you push down and that comes off this is a little lid see it’s very simple now you take this and you just hold it like right here and you just pull up on both sides so now you have a kettle okay and so if you look on this lid is a little flat area that’s so you can pour the water so you put that with the flat area towards the spout

and now you got this little handle and if you look here there’s a little hole so this just slides in there and it just clips on right there okay so you just take this and you just kind of let’s see just pop it in like that you see you want to keep it up high right so you make sure that’s fully expanded so now you have a fully expanded kettle right it’s not nice you just take this cable here

and you plug it in

and that’s it you can see how easy that is right so this will make several cups of water I recommend that you probably only boil you know one to one and a half cups you know I keep i wouldn’t take the water too much off of here because it’s you know I mean this is a small little footprint so it’s not made to do a ton of water oh I just made some water with this and I made myself a hot cup of tea and let’s just and i actually made this maybe five minutes ago and so it’s been sitting here all this whole time

it’s still very hot so this water gets very very hot so please be careful when you’re making the water so now we’re just going to take it apart

so you take that cable off just kind of fold it up now I have a little like a little tie I put around here so we’re going to just take this lid off real quick remember you got that little hole and do that there’s this little silicon lip here push down pop off the handle

and now so let’s show you that’s what it looks like on the inside and so now you can just slowly kind of fold it in and it’s pretty simple pretty quick right and it just goes down like that look how small that is right isn’t that great this handle just kind of sits in you know like sideways so

let’s see so you just sort of pushed it up like that the handle sits there you just put the lid on top it’s a little baggy so it protects it take the little cord just pop it in there just kind of put it down on the side so you don’t lose your fat footprint just tie this up right there and there you go isn’t that nice seven minutes I showed you how to put it together take it apart and you could have already made hot water by now so that’s just that’s how easy it is to use this so we’re gonna put the name of this foldable kettle uh down below so you can copy and paste it and you can put it into amazon

okay so I’m going to grab this

this is kind of the because it’s kind of a weird name so it’s louty 2o

there’s your information this one obviously is blue and white and technically it says 555 milliliters

and it’s got their email on the back it’s got louty 200 for the company so you can look this is a handy little and you may find something better and if you do please put that in the comments as well we actually found this that was being made out of Asia and she ordered this and it was just it’s so handy it’s so great I had to share it with all of you so here’s your little direction book it so again that’s the name so you can put it into the amazon search bar there so we just put it back into the little bag
