477 BCE to 334 BCE

The legendary military strategist Sun Tzu, thought to have lived around this time, writes The Art of War, which is recognized today as the most influential, and oldest known military strategy guide.

Other military writings of this age make up the Seven Military Classics of ancient China: T'ai Kung's Six Secret Teachings, The Methods of the Sima, Sun Bin's Art of War, Wu Qi, Wei Liaozi, Three Strategies of Huang Shigong, and The Questions and Replies of Tang Taizong and Li Weigong (the last being made some eight hundred years after this era ends).

These seven military classics will be locked away once China is unified, and access will be restricted due to their tendency to promote revolution.
