The influence of guiguzi:

Guiguzi's main works are Guiguzi, Yin Fu's Seven Jues and Guan Ling's Biography of Yin Xi. Guiguzi focuses on tactics and debating skills, while Yin Fu's Seven Methods and Guan Ling Yin Xi's Biography in the classics focus on nourishing the heart and keeping a keen sense of self-cultivation.

The first three chapters of Yin Fu's seven techniques in this classic explain how to enrich the will and cultivate the spirit. The last four chapters discuss how to apply the inner spirit to the outside and how to deal with the external things with the inner mind.

What strategists advocate is the skill of tactics and argument, and its guiding ideology is quite different from the benevolence and morality advocated by Confucianism. So for a long time, scholars have little praise for Guiguzi, but scoffed at it.

In fact, the benefits of diplomatic tactics are related to the rise and fall of national security; Whether the strategy of business negotiation and competition is appropriate or not is related to the success or failure of the economy. Even in daily life, speaking skills are related to whether a person is decent or not. At that time, Su Qin, with his brilliant words, united the six countries, matched each other and led them against Qin.
