While "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu is hailed as one of China's oldest surviving military treatises, and among the earliest military works in the world, many have not had the opportunity to delve deep into its teachings. So, are you curious about the subtle "deceptions" hidden within this ancient military classic? 

In "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, the 'deceptions' are divided into two parts. First, there's the art of disguise.The second part involves strategies against the enemy.

Today, I will delve deep into the first major category – disguise.

✅Quotes:
[Laying Plans]
All warfare is based on deception. 

Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; 
when using our forces, we must seem inactive; 
when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; 
when far away, we must make him believe we are near. 

These military devices, leading to victory, must not be divulged beforehand.

[Weak Points and Strong]
By discovering the enemy's dispositions and remaining invisible ourselves, we can keep our forces concentrated, while the enemy's must be divided.
