"Thirty-six Tactics" or "Thirty-six Tactics" refers to the thirty-six tactics of China's ancient art of war, which originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and was written in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a military work based on China's ancient Han military thoughts and rich struggle experience, and it is one of the long-standing cultural heritages of the Han nationality.

The term "Thirty-six Strategies" preceded the year of writing, and its etymology can be found in Talking about Daoji (? -A.D. 436), according to the Biography of King Jingze of the Southern Qi Dynasty: "Tan Gong's thirty-six plans are the best policy, and your father and son should only listen to them." It means that defeat is inevitable and only retreat is the best policy. This sentence was used by later generations. Hui Hong's "Cold Zhai Night Talk" in Song Dynasty: "Thirty-six plans, walking is the best plan." . In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, more people quoted this language. So a man of heart collected a batch of books and compiled "Thirty-six Plans". However, it is difficult to determine when and by whom this book was written.
