The Warring States Policy and its catalogue evaluation;
The Warring States Policy emphasizes historical stories, is good at explaining things clearly, uses a lot of fables and metaphors, and has vivid language and rich literary talent. Although the historical facts and rhetoric recorded in the book cannot be fully believed, they are still important historical materials for studying the warring States society. The Warring States period is an era of more intense merger after the Spring and Autumn Period. The theory of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and faith, which used to be a cosmetic reluctantly, has been completely broken at this time.
Between countries, what we are talking about now is the struggle for power and profit, and the extortion. It is not surprising that strategists who are active in the political arena only exchange their talents for fame and fortune from the right buyers.
