Fire Warfare

1. First read through the original text and annotations, marking key sentences involving the conditions for fire attack, terrain, and formation, then review the structure of the whole piece.
2. Read it alongside the "Fire Attack" chapter of "The Art of War," making a table comparing how the two books describe the targets and timing of fire attack.
3. Consult other chapters of the "Six Secret Teachings" to understand the overall context of the Tiger Secret Teachings, avoiding treating the conclusions of a single chapter as the claims of the whole book.
4. After reading, retell in your own words the relationship between fire warfare and the environment, weapons, and formations in the chapter to check whether your understanding is accurate.
