Wang Čen uvažoval nad otázkami: jak můžeme najít pravý pacifismus, takový, který ukončí konflikty, dříve než začnou? Jsme vůbec schopni napravit své sebedestruktivní tendence? Pro odpovědi se obrátil k pozoruhodnému zdroji: nebyly to teorie o lidské přirozenosti a vláda konfucionismu a buddhismu, které převládaly, ale Tao-te-ťing, který jako filozofický pilíř taoismu po více než tisíc let byl často považován za mystický, kvietistický a nihilistický, ale Wang Čen v něm objevil kosmologickou oporu pro model lidské společnosti a pro vysvětlení dynamických konfliktů. Jak Wang Čen přijímal jeho model, uvěřil, že může vést k pravému posílení každodenního světa politické reality.

One Hundred Unorthodox Strategies was compiled in the fifteenth century, during the Ming Dynasty, as a handbook of tactics based on Chinese military classics. Translated into English for the first time, this unique work draws on over two thousand years of experience in warfare to present a distillation of one hundred key strategic principles. Originally prepared as a text for students aspiring to high political positions in Confucian China, One Hundred Unorthodox Strategies is a compendium of Oriental strategies concisely stated and each individually illustrated with a description of battle from Chinese history. These historical examples shed new light on the often enigmatic formulations of the ancient strategists on subjects such as Strategic Power, Defense, Vacuity, Spirit, and Victory. Acclaimed translator and Chinese military specialist Ralph Sawyer adds his own thoughtful commentary, deepening the reader's understanding of the intricacies of Chinese strategic thought.
