The art of [leading]

MS: [Political] action is important to the [party] —it is the ground of death and life, the path of survival and destruction, so it is imperative to examine it.

JL: The ground means the location, the place of pitched battle —gain the advantage and you live, lose the advantage and you die. Therefore [political] action is called the ground of death and life. The path means the way to adjust to the situation and establish victory —find this and you survive, lose this and you perish. Therefore it is said to be imperative to examine it. An ancient document says, «There is a way of survival, which helps and strengthens you; there is a way of destruction, which pushes you into oblivion».

LQ: First establish your plans, then prepare your equipment. This is why the [discussion] on battle follows the [discussion] on strategic assessments.

ZY: When you are spending a great deal of [effort] on a [political] operation, if [you are] out in the field too long, your [stamina] will not be enough to [keep you fit].

JL: If a [political] operation goes on for a long time without accomplishing anything, your rival will begin to get ideas.

MS: The general rule for [political action] is that it is better to keep [the labour movement] intact than to destroy it.

CC: The best victory is when the opponent surrenders of its own accord before there are any actual hostilities.

MS: To unfailingly take what you attack, attack where there is no defense. For unfailingly secure defense, defend where there is no attack.

MS: So a [political] force has no constant formation, water has no constant shape: the ability to gain victory by changing and adapting according to the opponent is called genius.

MS: Act after having made assessments. The one who first knows the measures of far and near wins —this is the rule of [political] struggle.

MS: [Where] they are fulfilled, be prepared against them; [where] they are strong, avoid them.
