Field notes
The map presents strategists from China, the steppe, India, Korea, and Japan, with links categorized as documented connections, shared themes, or rivalries. The visible Stratagems sample pairs each entry with Chinese characters, pinyin, and an English rendering; examples include “Borrow a knife to kill” and “If all else fails, retreat.”
