Sun Tzu's Art of War is one of the most affective thinking second to that of the Confusions in Early Qin Dynasty. It's overly spread the East Asia World dominated by the Chinese culture and also diffused to West Asia and some other regions like Europe and US. Since the ancient , researches of are most focus on its notes and explanations. One of the obvious example is the strategies noted by Wei Wu by Cao Cao. Later, from Sui and Tang Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, literators and scholars of different times made a lot of notes to the book, who were Meng Zi, Li Sheng, Du You, Du Mu, Chen Hao, Wang Xi, Mei Raocheng, He Shi, Zhang Yu eleven in all, what was called Notes from eleven literators on Sun Tzu. Such numerous notes haven't reached the total agreement on thinking of the book. That shows it's such kind of book with abstrusity, then what the reason for and how to resolve the problem? By analyzing the most variable Japanese research pattern on the book, we maybe figure out the most proper way to survey and understand the book.The first charter talked about the general situation of the domestic research on in Japan. Since 7th century the book was taken to Japan, people have taken it as the book like "Bible" until the middle ages, only those specific families could have the honor to see that. Even, there was no total academic research on it so that it caused misunderstanding on like Tou Sen Kyo. After De Chuan government had been established, the misunderstanding got to be improved during the 100 year or so battle times. The government imposed on the cavalier's manner combining with culture and military. From then on, Japan did have a climax for surveying the book for the first time. There was Ujinaga-Hojo and Soko-Yamaga in earlier times, Sorai-Ogyu in mid times and Shozan-Sakuma in late times who did great devotions to the research.After the War II, there were researches. The first kind is to analysis literately by Yoshio Takeuchi, Osamu Kanaya, Yuichi Asano etc. The other kind is based on the military. Japan got the total lose by betraying the in War II, it revalued the feasibility of the book after that. Professor Osamu Kouno of Nationai Defence Academy in Japan, analysized the book on the basis of war theory and war relating history.

To this, man discovered the bamboo roll of the book from Yin Que mountain mausoleum in 1972, which brought new changes to the research field. The fourth kind is that the "Sun Tzu scientific research system " helpful to solve serious of main problems. Sua? Tzu new nots written by Rin Hujizuka and Seshu Mori and The research on Sun Tzu's thinking history and the research on Sun Tzu system written by Kenji Sato are the two samples. Bothof them are trying to understand the deep meaning hidden inside thirteen profound and complex chapters of the book. All of this opened a new academic field to the professional circle in the 20th century.The second chapter emphasizes on analyzing and commenting on the character and problem of economized inside Japan. It changed its type and intended to be enriched wholly. During 1960 which was the hypo-developing period in Japan, regained its social status with its new configuration, that is to be used in economic field. Japanese publication firms rapidly applied the book to the economy world by no hesitation. They used charts and war examples to illustrate the wisdom of the book by simple words, which really brought the book back to the new stage. But due to the over simplification, it made people misunderstand the real meaning of the book. The appearance of the problem means "how to teach those people totally couldn't understand ancient literature to touch the point of the book".The third chapter is the rest discussion on the historical background relating to the establishment of the book, and also researches on its thinking way different from the common Chinese thinking.
