L'art de la guerre est le premier traité de stratégie au monde. Rédigé vers le Ve siècle avant J.-C., il développe des thèses originales, qui s'inspirent de la philosophie chinoise ancienne. Considérant la guerre comme une réalité inévitable, il montre comment la réflexion peut mener à la victoire, comment l'analyse des faiblesses de l'ennemi peut fonder une tactique, si l'on sait les exploiter, et même les aggraver; il met l'accent sur la dimension psy-cho-logique du combat, sur le rôle de la ruse et de la fuite. Ses idées, ignorées dans les époques de guerre totale et de conflits frontaux, ont retrouvé une actualité en inspirant les grandes guérillas anti-coloniales chinoises et vietnamiennes, notamment, et sont aujourd'hui reprises par les stratèges asiatiques et américains de la guerre économique.

Joseph-Marie Amiot (1718,1793), est un prêtre jésuite, astronome et historien français, missionnaire en Chine. Il fut le dernier survivant de la Mission jésuite en Chine. Il a contribué à faire connaître la culture chinoise en Europe. Il a traduit les principaux ouvrages chinois consacrés à l'art militaire. Yong Tcheng ou Yongzheng (1678 1735) est le troisième empereur de Chine de la dynastie Qing. Grâce à des réformes qui centralisent le gouvernement et rationalisent la fiscalité, il rend l'administration efficace. Il crée le département des affaires militaires afin de centraliser et renforcer son pouvoir sur l'armée. C'est à cette occasion qu'il fait mettre par écrit ses dix préceptes destinés aux gens de guerre. Sun Tse ou Sun Tzu est un général chinois du VIe siècle avant notre ère (544-496 av. JC). Les treize articles de Sun Tzu sont le manuel le plus réputé de la stratégie asiatique. Cette oeuvre échappa à la grande destruction des livres ordonnée par l'empereur Chehouangti des T'sin en 293 ap. JC et resta longtemps la grande référence des généraux chinois. Elle fut en particulier la doctrine de l'ensemble des généraux des royaumes combattants à l'époque des guerres des Trois Royaumes. Se Ma Yang King a vécu au IVe siècle avant notre ère et nous a laissé ses principes sur l'art militaire, le Se Ma Fa Ou Tse a vécu au IVe siècle avant notre ère. Il dirigea victorieusement les armées du royaume d'Oe et ses exploits militaires ont laissé de nombreuses traces dans les chroniques chinoise. S'appuyant sur les travaux de Sun Tse, Ou Tse rédigea son traité d'art militaire. Seuls six articles nous sont parvenus. Ces articles étaient très réputés auprès des lettrés chinois et mandchous et ils furent l'objet de nombreux commentaires. Ces cinq oeuvres peuvent être considérées comme la base de toute stratégie moderne. Didier HALLÉPÉE, érudit passionné de stratégie et officier en retraite a sélectionné ces textes pour vous.

The Art of War is a Chinese military treatise that is attributed to Sun Tzu, a military strategist of the State of Wu who was active in the late-sixth century BC, during the late Spring and Autumn period. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it is said to be the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time, and is still read for its military insights. The Art of War is one of the oldest and most successful books on military strategy in the world. It has been the most famous and influential of China's Seven Military Classics: "for the last two thousand years it remained the most important military treatise in Asia, where even the common people knew it by name." It has had an influence on Eastern military thinking, business tactics, and beyond. Sun Tzu emphasized the importance of positioning in military strategy, and that the decision to position an army must be based on both objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective beliefs of other, competitive actors in that environment. He thought that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through an established list, but rather that it requires quick and appropriate responses to changing conditions. Planning works in a controlled environment, but in a changing environment, competing plans collide, creating unexpected situations.
