荀子与孙子治军思想之比较

A Comparison of Xun Zi's and Sun Zi's Thinking of Commanding Troops

荀子与孙子的治军思想有相似和不同之处。在治军宗旨上,孙子主张"修道保法";荀子主张"隆礼重法"。在将帅观与治军举措上,孙子要求将帅必须具备五德"智、信、仁、勇、严";荀子在为将之道和治军举措上提出"六术""五权""三至""五无圹"等治军思想。

Xun Zi's thinking of directing troops has both similarity and differences with Sun Zi's. With respect to the purpose of directing troops, Sun Zi was of the opinion of 'cultivating the policies and strictly adhering to the laws and regulations' while Xun Zi was of the opinion of that great importance should be given to rites and laws. With respect to the outlooks concerning high-ranking military officers and the measures of directing troops, Sun Zi required that the high-ranking military officers should have five virtues—intelligence, credit, benevolence, courage and strictness. As far as the conducts of the high-ranking military officers and the measures of directing troops, Sun Zi put forward such thinking as 'six measures,' 'five rights,' and 'three actions.'
