Dating and nature of early Chinese military writing

[Andreas Johansson]

I chanced upon a paper about the dating and nature of the Seven Military Classics and other early military writing in the light of tomb finds of texts:

Writings on Warfare Found in Ancient Chinese Tombs, by Mark Edward Lewis (2005)

Not new, but might be interesting to some here

[Duncan Head]

It's an interesting little paper. Lewis is the author of Sanctioned Violence in Early China , which has been on my to-read list for quite some time.
