Стратагема is some algorithm of behavior, counted sequence of the executions, sent to the achievement of the hidden aim or decision of some task with the obligatory account of psychology of object, his position, situation and other features of situation. This concept exists in the culture of China no less than three thousand years.Exactly defining the date of creation of this collection of стратагем is impossible. A book approximately can be taken to dynasties of Mines, although in her there is not pointing neither on an author nor upon the date. Authorship at different times was added Сунь-цзы (epoch of Spring and Autumn) and Чжугэ Ляну (Троецарствие). Most modern scientists are predisposed to that a treatise went out from verbal and writing tradition and has a great number of variants and authors.
