Guiguzi is a mysterious figure in history. Was five lines of gossip created by Guiguzi?

Guiguzi, the word Wang (or Li), also named, was a singer of Wei during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to legend, he was a native of Wei (now guixi city, Jiangxi) during the Warring States Period, and often went to Yunmeng Mountain to collect herbs and cultivate monasteries. Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, the birthplace of Taoism in the world, was originally named Yunmeng Mountain, and often went to Yunmeng Mountain to collect medicines and cultivate monasteries. Because he lives in seclusion in Qingxi Guigu, Zhouyangcheng, he calls himself Mr. Guigu. "Wang Chan's bodhi old zu" is the name of Guiguzi by later generations, and it is one of the pre-Qin philosophers. Gui Guzi is the originator of a military strategist (in fact, he is one of the famous representatives of a military strategist), and Su Qin and Zhang Yi are his two most outstanding disciples (see Warring States Policy). In addition, Sun Bin and Pang Juan are also disciples (see The Romance of Sun Pang). He knows what's going on in the world, taking into account mathematics, and no one can be better than him. Theology: astrology, divination and gossip, accurate budget, very accurate; Second, military science, six towers and three strategies, endless changes, marching in array, unpredictable ghosts and gods; The third is to study abroad, remember more and listen more, judge the situation rationally, export as a chapter, and it is difficult for ten thousand people; The fourth is to learn from birth, cultivate self-cultivation, get rid of illness and prolong life, and be pedantic and profound. Guiguzi was compiled by later scholars according to their remarks, and it was completely preserved in Taoist classic Daozang. The content is very rich, involving political, military, diplomatic and other fields, mainly about the theory of strategy.

It is said that there is a piece of land in Zhouzhi Yangcheng called Ghost Valley. The mountains are deep and dense, unpredictable, and seem to be inhabited by non-people, so it is the Valley of Clouds and Ghosts. One of them is a hermit, but his name is Guiguzi. According to legend, his surname is Wang, a native. In Yunmeng Mountain, he collected herbs and built temples with Mo Zhai, a poet of the Song Dynasty ... He is knowledgeable, but no one can compare with him. Those studies: first, mathematics, the latitude of the sun and stars, in its palm, occupy the past, look at it, everything is true; Second, the study of military strategists, six towers and three strategies, changes endlessly, forming soldiers, ghosts and gods; Third, learn from the text, remember and listen more, judge the situation rationally, and argue with words, and do everything possible; On the fourth day, I was born, cultivated my true temperament, delayed my illness, ate differently, and soared. -History of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty

Monk believes in Confucianism, Zhuang Zhou talks about soaring, teaches frugality and preciseness, teaches the name as a symbol, the wild old man runs the country well, the son helps the government in astronomy, Shen Shang talks with a knife and saw, the ghost valley kisses instead of kisses, the stone corner is always good at miscellaneous techniques, and the Qing history music is composed in the market. Researcher Meng Xun said that he was well-founded and gentle; Management is the article, and practice is the core; Lieyukou's books are full of great anger and novelty; Zou Zizhi said that his heart is extravagant and his words are strong; Mo Zhai follows the nest, with obvious meaning and language quality; Shi Jiao is dazzling, capable and spontaneous; The crown is constant, and it is urgent to make deep words; Ghost Valley is awkward, and every link is mysterious. Wen Zi is good at this; Yin Wenxin kept his promise and got what he wanted. -"Wen Xin Diao Long Zhuzi"

Guiguzi's main works are Guiguzi and Yin Fu Qi Jue. Guiguzi focuses on tactics and debating skills, while Yin Fu's seven methods in Benjing focus on ways to recuperate.

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. Gui Guzi is the originator of strategists, and Su Qin and Zhang Yi are his two most outstanding disciples (see The Warring States Policy). In addition, Sun Bin and Pang Juan are also disciples (see The Romance of Sun Pang). 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. With her strategy and lobbying skills, Zhang Yi scattered the six countries and made immortal contributions to the State of Qin. The so-called "wisdom is unknown to people, but can be used by people." The essence of Guiguzi is that invisibility is better than indisputable white. Sun Tzu's art of war focuses on overall strategy, while Guiguzi focuses on specific skills. The two can be said to complement each other.

So history thinks Guiguzi is the originator of strategists.

Guiguzi is a summary of strategists' lobbying experience, and its value is self-evident. In Sui Shu, there is a saying: "People who are military strategists and strategists are good at argument, so they are good at rhetoric, which is also out of the ambition of superiors and subordinates." "If they are arrogant, they will turn their words into deception. As for thieves, they will harm loyalty and destroy the country. " Although there was prejudice and discrimination against the study of vertical and horizontal in past dynasties, we can't deny the value of something just because it can be used in bad places.
