《左传》中的战争

The Wars in Zuozhuan

春秋时期各诸侯国为了生存和发展,由此引发了大大小小的战争,并且战争规模不断扩大。战争的胜败与国家政治、经济、军事策略、将帅才德密切相关,德、义、礼、信成为评判战争正义与否的依据。《左传》重视战争的战略战术,讲究策略。《左传》既是丰富战争实例的荟萃,也对战争理论进行了深入的总结。

During the Spring and Autumn Period,the kingdoms accumulated power,extended their orbit actively. As the subsequence of those activities,wars broke out,and the scale of wars became wider. The success and failure of the wars are closely connected with the countries’ policy,economics,martial strategy,the abilities and virtues of the leaders. To decide a war was justice or not mainly based on these criterion of De,Yi,Li and Xin. The book,named Zuozhuan,stresses much on strategy and tactic of war. It not only contains a lot of examples of war,but also studies and summarizes the theory on how to win the war.
