Study On Political Philosophy And Thought Of Three Strategies By Huang Shi

According to legend,Three Strategies by Huang Shi(hereinafter referred to as Three Strategies)was written by Huang Shi,an old man in Xiapi during the Qin and Han dynasties,and is the book of enlightenment of Zhang Liang,strategies of a saint.As the only classic of military culture handed down during the Qin and Han dynasties,its ideological content involved in the book has a distinct color of the times of great unification.The book discusses political strategy through military strategy,merges with Confucianism,Taoism,Legalism,Mohist,Yin and Yang school,supplemented by the military thought of the great unification of the military,forms its own ideological system on the basis of pooling wisdom and benefits the strengths of hundred schools of thought,and exerts new insights in military affairs,but also has extremely high political foresight and philosophical achievements.The philosophical basis for expounding the Three Strategies is the basis for studying the overall thinking of the Three Strategies.First of all,View of the way of heaven of the Three Strategies inherits the plain thought of heaven of its predecessors,developing the primitive natural attributes of changes in climate and celestial phenomena and changes in all things into a political,metaphysical,and impermanent view of the way of heaven,developing this View of the way of nature into a military,political,and philosophical concept,and elevating empirical understanding to an abstract concept.Secondly,on the basis of imitating the way of heaven,the Three Strategies develops and promotes the power of authenticity and humanity,affirms the subjective initiative of people,and strives for the harmonious unity of heaven,earth and people.Thirdly,through the microscopic discussion of individual emotions and desires,Three Strategies gives human nature to the spirit of instrumental rationality,applies abstract human nature theory to the actual actions of governing the country and the army,and exerts the applied philosophical ideas of the art of war to the extreme.Finally,the Three Strategies combines Lao Tzu’s traditional view of venerating softness with Huang Lao’s idea of rigidity and softness,arguing that if the two contradictory relationships of rigidity and softness,strength and weakness can be reasonably applied in "appropriate",it will be of great benefit to governing the country and using troops and to treating others by oneself.A series of political philosophical propositions put forward in the Three Strategies all involve the core content of political philosophy,mainly including: emphasizing the easeful political ideology that "No effort but good result" and rejecting labor administration,advocates the concept of expediency that changes with the times and subtle-changes,emphasizes the people-oriented concept of protecting and governing the people from a high level of military strategy and the methods and principles of its specific implementation,and has a complete set of theoretical systems on valuing talents,identifying talents,and recruiting talents.The author of Three Strategies depicts the relationship between the ideal society of the unified indoctrination and indoctrination spreads the world,and the ideal monarch and subject who are no orders or words,but the monarchs got along very well with each other.But do not hope that history will go backwards,but use it to illustrate the truth that things should change with times and time,as well as the methods and principles of the monarch commands generals and soldiers.On the one hand,the study of the Three Strategies provides a broader vision and more rational thinking for understanding ancient Chinese political philosophical thought,especially the study of the political philosophy of Military School.On the other hand,if the content of the book can be creatively transformed and innovatively developed,its useful value and practical value may be beneficial to the management of the military and the country in the era of peacebuilding.
