The Six Secret Teachings
Disciplines > Warfare > The Six Secret Teachings
In the Chou dynasty of the 11th century BC, an elderly, eccentric advisor known as T'ai Kung set out principles of government and warfare through reported conversations with King Wen and his successor, King Wu. Chinese history has many 'secret teachings'. Making things secret makes them more desirable as they seem scarce and harder to access. To gain access to secrets typically requires investment that leads to greater commitment, as the person acts to sustain consistency with their investment. These pages include brief notes on observed key learning points and further discussions of these. For detail and full translation, see Sawyer (1993).
