《尉缭子》这部兵书,在北宋就被收入《武经七书》,成为武学的必读之物。但后来却远没能像《孙子》等书那样受到人们的重视。这原因,大概和人为地笼罩在此书上一团迷雾有关。从南宋开始,便有人对这本书是否先秦兵书打了一个问号;到了明代,又有此书是后人伪托之说出现。所以,后来研究此书的人,往往把精力放在多方考证其真伪上,而很少在探讨其内容上下功夫。1972年山东临沂银雀山汉初墓葬出土的竹简,其中就有《尉缭子》中的六篇,证明《尉缭子》确实是先秦古藉,否定了长期以来流传的那种“伪作”或“伪托”之论。这样,我们便可以放心地对它的内容进行历史的,实事求是的研究了。 “Wei Liaozi” this book of war, in the Northern Song Dynasty was income “Wu Jing seven books,” a must-read martial art thing. But later it was far from people like “Sun Tzu” and other books. This reason, probably and artificially enveloped in the book on a mass of fog. From the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, some people asked whether this book had a question mark on the pre-Qin soldiers. In the Ming Dynasty, another book appeared as a spoof. Therefore, later study of this book, people often focus on the authenticity of multi-textual research, and rarely work hard to explore its content. The bamboo slips unearthed in the early Han-Qin tombs of Linyi in Shandong Province in 1972, of which there are six of the “Wei Liaozi”, prove that “Wei Liaozi” was indeed a pre-Qin ancientry, denying the kind of “fake art” Or “false care” theory. In this way, we can safely and historically conduct factual studies of its content.
