Brief Introduction:

The Military Tactics of Sima first appeared in the Treatise on Literature section of the Book of Han, categorized under rites and referred to as the Military Rites: Sima Fa, comprising 155 chapters. After the Han dynasty, much of the text was lost during its long circulation. By the Tang dynasty, when the Book of Sui Treatise on Classics and Books was compiled, only 3 volumes and 5 chapters remained. It was classified under the Military School category in the Masters section and titled Sima Fa, forming the prototype of the extant 3 volume, 5 chapter version.
