Sharing by Henry Steven Khoo on the Future Development of New Modern Asia by learning from the ancient Japanese Introduction In the early 7th century, Tang dynasty emperors emerged as rulers of a POWERFUL EMPIRE and a GREAT CULTURE. The Japanese, precariously united under their OWN AMBITIOUS EMPERORS, wanted to know its SECRETS. Court officials, students, teachers, monks and artists visited Ancient China, were vastly impressed. They returned to Ancient Japan with the “new learning”. New Learning technology from Ancient China The new learning method all recorded in Ancient Chinese script which was in effect all the main elements of Chinese civilization: Confucianism, medicines, textiles, weaving dyeing the five stringed lute, masks, board games whole libraries of books on scripture, history, philosophy and literature. Military and strategic planning One thing Ancient China knew a lot about was WAR. For centuries, it was armed conflict that divided the nation. Yet it was WAR- and ultimately CONQUEST. In 221 BC, War brought PEACE and UNITY for the WHOLE OF ANCIENT CHINA China’s Military wisdom was implemented by great military theoretician SUN ZI. He spelled the “ five fundamental” – politics, weather, terrain, command and management. He even on to ANALYSE details such as the COST OF ENTERTAINING ENVOYS and the PRICE OF GLUE. (I have named him the father of “Chinese Costing”- Right now, I am doing the mystery numerology and fengshui research on Ancient Chinese Accounting & Costing brainintelligence ) Sun Zi was not concerned with GLORY. He was interested in FAST an TOTAL VICTORY. He quoted the Chinese Classical wisdom,: “ There has never been a PROTRACTED WAR which benefited a country- Only by QUICK VICTORY can more war be AVOIDED”. George Bush should learnt from Sun Zi and Russian learned from Sun Zi not to occupy whole of Ancient China George Bush might have a second thoughts about invading IRAQ, let alone boasting of “ mission accomplished”. Had he pondered one of Sun Zi’s APHORISMS: “ To win victory is easy, to PRESERVE ITS FRUIT, DIFFICULT” Clear Learning lesson: Do not engage unless sure of victory. Avoid RISKS, Better to OVERAWE your opponent than to FIGHT. But if you want to FIGHT, DO IT MY “SUN ZI WAY! Learn the rules of military leadership, logistics, maneuvering, terrain and in particular- he saves this for last – DECECEPTION. Japanese modified the Sun Zi learning through Ninja instructional poem to: “ Make yourself RESOLUTE with the IDEA that you will WIN whenever you go on a MISSION, And you can WIN even if it is not so REALISTIC” Constructive comments by Henry Khoo I was always the top 1 and 2 position in the whole secondary school for wining prizes in History and Geography with HIGH DISTINCTIONS but failed Mathematics. The Ancient Japanese learned everything from Chinese Civilization and then modified it by MAKING THE BEST. Unfortunately with the modern Japanese, they had forgotten the ancient military wisdom from Sun Zi which cost the 2 World Wars, ““ To win victory is easy, to PRESERVE ITS FRUIT, DIFFICULT” This is also my worries and concerns for the young and modern generation of Chinese and Asian for forgetting the Confucian Moral teaching and the Chinese Classical Wisdom. I will leave this moral and ethic issues to the educators, philosophers, religious, government etc especially with Generation Z coming out where data will be stored inside their body! Hopefully, by then I will be NOT in this World till my resurrection for the Saints to come back to rule the World with the Creator!
