Game theory was founded by westerners. English is called Game Theory, and its literal translation is "Game Theory". Some people have translated game theory into "game theory" and "competition theory", but they are not as accurate as "game theory". According to the meaning of Chinese itself, "Bo" means winning by skill, and "Yi" refers to antagonistic games such as chess. Translating game theory into "game theory" is more in line with the standard of "faithfulness and elegance".

A game is a game, so what is a game? In a sense, the game is an abstraction and generalization of life and a simplified life mode. For example, in chess, there are several roles: veteran, physiognomy, scholar, car, horse, cannon and pawn, just like an army. Of course, compared with real life, this model is too simple, but it can also map real life. Moreover, only conciseness and complicated appearances can make the truth clearer. The original intention of game theory is game theory, which involves a wide range of "games": the interaction of interpersonal relationships, the tricks of ball games or mahjong games, and the investment in the stock market. These can be explained skillfully by game theory. It can be said that the world is full of games.

Game theory discusses how smart and self-interested "players" take action and interact with their opponents. Life is made up of one game after another, in which you and I both compete for high marks.

A person's life can be regarded as an endless decision-making process. What major to choose, what school to apply for, what to do, how to carry out a research, how to run a business, who to cooperate with, whether to take a part-time job, and whether to jump ship. Even whether to get married, when to get married, who to marry, whether to have children and so on. And these are just a few major examples of life decisions.

Decisions appear all the time in life: when to get up, whether to eat breakfast, go shopping, exercise, and even read books ... whether consciously or unconsciously, after careful consideration or on impulse, you have picked up this book, which is a decision.

In the decision-making process, there is a common factor, that is, you are not making decisions in a vacuum world without interference. On the contrary, you are surrounded by decision makers just like you, and their choices interact with yours. Robinson drifted to a desert island alone, and everything he did was in charge. However, when a savage "Friday" came, he had to face the game problem between people. At this time, we need to use game thinking and seek our own maximum odds or interests through strategic prediction, so as to survive in the competition.
