算得高明 骗得巧妙——《孙子兵法·计篇》论

Wise Estimates and Brilliant Deception——On Estimates of Military Science of Sun Tzu

《计篇》作为《孙子兵法》的首篇,起着提纲挈领、总揽全局的关键作用,它关注的是怎样筹划战争,即战争开始前的“算”,和怎样指导战争,即战争进行过程中的“骗”。孙子主张依据“五事七计”来算计,依据“诡道十二法”来骗诈。通过大量的军事实例证明只有作到算得高明、骗得巧妙,才可能取得战争的胜利。

As the first chapter,Estimates plays a leading and key role in Military Science of Sun Tzu. It pays a great deal of attention to how to plan and prepare a war,that is,the estimates before the war, and how to guide a war, that is, the deception in the course of the war. Sun Tzu advocates that a war should be planned and prepared according to “five fundamental factors and seven elements” and the deception should be carried out in the light of “twelve deceptive ways”. A vast amount of military examples have proved that only with wise estimates and brilliant deception can the victory be won.
