「易經」與中國兵學思想

The Book of Changes and Thoughts of Chinese Military Science

《易經》為中國五經之首，諸子百家均從《易經》而出，本文旨在探討《易經》與中國傳統兵學思想之關係，中國兵學思想中以《孫子兵法》為首之《武經七書》及《三十六計》為最著，《三十六計》中有二十二計乃從《易經》發展而來。本文先敘西洋兵學思想，次敘中國兵學思想，最後敘《易經》及中國兵學思想，依六十四卦之次序，逐一解釋卦理，及從卦理引申而出之兵法。

The Book of Changes is the fundamental of the Chinese classics. Many Chinese classics are derived from it. The purpose of this paper is to scrutinize the relation between "The Book of Changes" and the thoughts of Chinese traditional military science". The most famous books on Chinese military science are "The Seven Books of Chinese Military Classics" and "The Thirty-Six Stratagems" which are both deduced from "The Art of War by Sun Tzu". Interestingly, the thoughts of twenty-two stratagems among "The Thirty-Six Stratagems" are inspired from "The Book of Changes". This paper first describes the thoughts of western military science and then Chinese military science. At final, this paper describes the connection between "The Book of Changes" and Chinese military science by explaining the diagrams in sequence from "Sixty-Four Diagrams" and military tactics inferred from them.
