Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 想系统通读《反经》原文，但文言阅读能力有限的读者
- 对识人用人、组织管理感兴趣的职场与管理者
- 喜欢《资治通鉴》《智囊》《鬼谷子》一类传统谋略书的国学爱好者
- 需要一部可随手查阅、带译注的案头工具书的读者
Not a good fit for
- 需要严谨校勘、版本考据的研究者与古籍专业学生
- 期待逐字对照影印善本或学术注释的读者
- 只想要轻松故事、不愿读文言与史论的休闲读者
Reading tips
- 先读卷一《大体》《任长》《量才》《知人》诸篇，这是全书识人用人的骨架，也最易与当下经验对接。
- 每篇先看卷首语与篇末评析，再回头读原文和译文，能更快抓住作者的论证意图。
- 把书中征引的史事与《资治通鉴》对照阅读，一正一反，体会赵蕤“不以成败论英雄”的视角。
- 读卷九《兵权》时可结合《孙子兵法》参照，注意二者的重合与差异，不必强求速读。

About the author
Zhao Rui is an author whose dates of birth and death, native place, and life experiences are not clearly recorded; publicly available information is limited, and it remains difficult to sketch a complete picture of his life. What can be confirmed from existing sources is that one management-related work appears under his name, Leadership Is an Art: The Management Way of the Fan Jing (Anti-Classic), commonly classified as a management title. The title suggests that the author seeks to distill management wisdom from the traditional text Fan Jing, setting ancient strategy alongside leadership practice and discussing topics such as recognizing people, employing talent, decision-making, and adaptability. Writing of this kind tends to use the past to illuminate the present, in accessible and practical language, for readers who wish to draw management experience from traditional culture. Because other information about the author is lacking, his academic background and the full range of his writing remain to be verified, and readers may begin by approaching the work itself.
Ya Se, originally named Zhao Yu, is a Chinese compiler and author of popular books. He holds a master's degree in psychology (some sources say philosophy) from Beijing Normal University and has worked as a magazine editor and psychological counselor. Public information about his life is limited, and his birth and death years are not clearly recorded. Judging from the thirty-nine works held in the library, his compiling interests span several fields: biographical and general works such as The Story of My Life: Helen Keller's Selected Works, Eastern philosophy and traditional self-cultivation texts including Zhuangzi, Zhongyong, Bingjian and Zeng Guofan's Family Letters, social and cultural classics such as The Old Regime and the Revolution and Democracy in America, and history readers on classical poetry and the Twenty-Five Histories. He has also compiled books on psychology, motivation and personal growth. Overall, Ya Se's work consists mainly of selection, editing and popularization for general readers, turning intellectual classics and cultural history into accessible texts; he has produced a large number of books on motivation, Chinese studies and traditional culture, forming a broad and practical compiling style.
