司馬法 by active 4th century B.C. Rangju Sima
"司馬法" by Sima Rangju is a military text compiled in the 4th century BC in the state of Qi during China's Warring States period. This ancient Chinese classic explores military organization, administration, and discipline rather than battlefield tactics. It argues that warfare is a necessary but regrettable tool for punishing evil and protecting the oppressed. The text emphasizes the balance between civil and military culture, the importance of strict discipline and impartial
law, and insists that war can only be justified when it serves the common people of all states involved. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
