The fifth chapter of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" is called "Energy"

The fifth chapter of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" is called "Energy". In this chapter, it is stated that victory in war is sought in momentum, and there is no blame for human incompetence (failure). Also, once the soldiers who are right for the right place are selected, it is easier to win if you just leave it to momentum.


1. Those who are skilled in leading the enemy will always follow this invitation when they take a certain form of action. If you give the enemy something to bait, the enemy will definitely try to get it. It is a strategy of giving benefits to move the enemy as you wish and deceiving the enemy to wait.

2. Those who are superior in battle seek victory in war in momentum, and there is no blame for human incompetence (failure). Therefore, after selecting the personnel of the soldiers who are right for the right place, just leave it to momentum. The momentum of the commander who is making the soldiers fight is like rolling wood and stones vigorously. The nature of wood and stone is that if the ground is stable, it moves slowly, if it is unstable, it moves, if the shape of wood and stone is square, it stops, if it is round, it rolls. Therefore, if the momentum of those who are making the soldiers fight well is like a round stone falling from a thousand fathoms of mountain, it is called the momentum of war.


These teachings can be applied not only to war, but also to business, sports, and various competitive situations. By using momentum, you can secure superiority in competition and achieve success. Sun Tzu's Art of War is still referred to by many people today because of its universal teachings.

Welcome to the world of Bonsai!

Bonsai is an art form that encapsulates the beauty and harmony of nature within a small pot. It serves as a mirror reflecting the human heart, revealing an infinite world within. Bonsai reflects the emotions, thoughts, and values of its caretaker. It symbolizes the relationship between humans and nature, showing how we coexist with, respect, and celebrate the beauty of nature. Bonsai is also a living art that experiences growth and change over time, serving as a metaphor for life itself. Each Bonsai weaves its own story through its journey of growth. It symbolizes the fragility and persistence of life, change and constancy, and above all, the passage of time. Therefore, Bonsai is more than just a plant; it is a philosophical expression that bridges the inner world of humans and the outer world. It is a mirror showing how we understand ourselves and the world, and how we interact with them. It is a world in itself. Welcome to the world of Bonsai! https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=8

In bonsai terminology, "Ushiroeda" or "back branch"

In bonsai terminology, "Ushiroeda" or "back branch" refers to the branches that extend to the back of the trunk. These branches play a role in expressing the depth of the entire tree. The back branches are usually placed slightly spread out to the side so that the foliage can be seen from the front. The back branches that come out diagonally are finished in such a way that they peek out from between the branches, considering that the branches further away actually look smaller than the branches in front. The back branches play an important role in taking the balance of the entire tree and are arranged back and forth to bring out the three-dimensionality of the tree.
