Who is Huang Shigong?

Huang Shigong, who lived from about 292 BC to 195 BC, was one of the hundred schools in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He is as famous as Guiguzi. He was abandoned in Huangshan Mountain as a baby, so he was called Huang Gong.

He lived in seclusion in Huangshan Mountain, wrote books, and left behind The Art of War, A Brief Introduction to Huang Shigong and Carving a Book of Heaven. He passed the Taigong Art of War and Huang Gonglve to Sean, and the Carving of Heaven Book to Song Tianhao and Yang Yiyuan, two disciples of Quyang, so that Quyang people learned to carve. Later, Quyang County became a "hometown of carving".

Three Views of Huang Shigong is one of the seven classic books of martial arts. It has absorbed the advantages of many schools and is self-contained. It is China's first strategic military work in ancient times, which is rich in ideological content and attaches importance to the people's role in the war.

From Laozi's anti-war point of view, the proposition of actively supporting just war is drawn. Although war is not good, it will not be eliminated by itself, and unjust war should be eliminated by just war.

When discussing the relationship between scholars and the people, generals and the people, morality and prestige, benevolence and law, softness and rigidity, and strength and weakness, we should pay attention to two aspects of opposites and avoid one-sidedness to some extent. For example, the sage is the backbone of the country, the people are the foundation, the soldiers are equally important, morality and prestige are combined, benevolence and law are combined, and rigidity and softness are combined.
