The Original Translation of Seventy-two Methods of Guiguzi

Guiguzi said, "The wise plan has its own description, either round or square, or yin or yang. Sages seek it from yin, so they call it' God', and they control it from yang, so they call it' Ming'. The so-called master success is also a virtue. " There is a difference between cunning and conspiracy in strategy. Under no circumstances can we underestimate each other, because our lessons, environment and intelligence are all false. So saints should be unpredictable. Guiguzi's so-called "yin" is to seek yin to become yang.

The second plan is to reverse Gankun.

Guiguzi said, "Therefore, if you are calm and God returns to his home, you will have great strength, and if you have great strength, you will be internally consolidated, so it is not appropriate." Guiguzi believes that when the situation is unfavorable to us, it is necessary for us to try our best to cultivate our own energy and strength, because we only need our own energy and strength to be strong enough to reverse Gan Kun.

The third plan is divide and conquer.

Guiguzi said, "If the decentralization subdues the bear, then the decentralization will be blessed." Guiguzi thinks: In order to disperse each other's forces, it is necessary for us to follow the example of lying bears, wait for opportunities and break them one by one.

The fourth plan is closed like a hexagon.

Guiguzi said, "If you turn around, you can't do what you do, but you should retreat to be a special tool." Guiguzi said: in the battle, it is necessary for us to play it by ear like a circle and do our homework so that others don't know our actual situation.

The fifth plan is to steal the cat from the bag.

Gui Guzi said: "Sages live between Liuhe, because of the meeting of things, they should stand up, resist attack, teach, raise their voices and be famous." Guiguzi believes that a superb person should seize the opportunity of things changing in time and adjust or complete his plan in the rapidly changing things.

The sixth plan is to rejuvenate the country with one word.

Guiguzi said, "The saints who praise the Tao really believe that they can save the nation and survive." The world speaks casually, a word is wrong, and the disaster is endless.

The seventh plan is outnumbered.

Guiguzi said, "It means spring, long summer, autumn harvest and winter storage, and the weather is fine. You can't object to it. If you do the opposite, you will fail. " Personally, once he violates the rules of doing things, even if he has the strength to be healthy and prosperous for a while, he will definitely lose; If we can do things according to the law of things, even if we are weak now, we can win more with less.

The trick in the eighth plan

Gui Guzi said: "Where the trend of convergence has doubled, there are plans to create combinations and turn them into rings. Each has its own situation, and it is repeated and tailored. " Everything in the world is ever-changing, and a coach needs to come up with multiple strategies to perfunctory the ever-changing situation.

Article 65 Make good use of the enemy

Guiguzi said, "Those who are good at rubbing in ancient times will catch fish if they bring a hook to the abyss and lure it and throw it." In a battle, a monarch or commander-in-chief should not only be able to appoint his own talents, but also take advantage of the hatred within the enemy to make some of them work for him.

The sixty-sixth beat is difficult to sing.

Gui Guzi said, "If you leave the room, you will leave the room, and you will be lonely." Many people may not win, but they have also announced the trend. As long as the truth is in our hands, we will be invincible in the whole country.

The 67th meter is related to good or bad luck.

Gui Guzi said, "When words are caught, words are caught by flying, which can be described as financial bribery. Stephy and Zhu Yu avoid white space and take the market as the truth, or they can be described as momentum." To make the other person listen to you, you need to point out the good and bad ways for him.

The sixty-eighth plan to the enemy

Guiguzi said, "The fighter is strong." The so-called enemy refers to a force that has evil thoughts about itself. If people do not have the power of hatred, they will not "complement each other on the contrary." It is necessary for you to have an imaginary enemy in your homework. If you defeat this imaginary enemy in the future, you will continue to work hard and make progress.

Article 69 Take the enemy as a teacher.

Guiguzi said: "The effect is for people to see. Before I find out the chaos, I will tell the truth." A commander-in-chief, who is far-sighted and ambitious, not only takes sages as teachers, but is sometimes better at learning from the enemy.

The seventieth story of ear food

Guiguzi said: "Golden Gate is empty. If many people can explain it, they will think that many people have their own private songs." Ear food is everywhere in the world. If people hear that they have the reputation of A, they regard A as their idol. Everything A says and does is taken for granted. Without delving into the reality of what A says and does, famous people may not fully understand A, and those who hear it fall on deaf ears.

The seventy-second plan is a positive result.

Gui Guzi said: "The real man is one with the sky, and the one who knows is known through internal cultivation, which is called a saint." Man, through long-term practice, can be in harmony with Tao. Those who achieve this are called "real people".
