鬼谷四友志 by active 18th century-19th century Jingchang Yang
"鬼谷四友志" by Jingchang Yang is a historical narrative written in the early 19th century. The narrative revolves around the legendary figures of four students—Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi—who studied under the renowned master, Guiguzi, at the mysterious location of Guigu Mountain. The story explores themes of rivalry, loyalty, and strategy as the students manifest their talents in military and political maneuvers amid the backdrop of ancient China's fragmented
states. The opening of the narrative introduces the geographical context of Guigu Mountain and the legendary figure of Guiguzi, a master known for his profound knowledge in various disciplines from military arts to personal cultivation. The story quickly establishes the relationship between the students, particularly highlighting the bond and subsequent rivalry between Sun Bin and Pang Juan. As Sun Bin excels in the teachings he receives, including the highly coveted "Sunzi's Art of War," we witness the seeds of jealousy sown in Pang Juan, leading to a series of events that foreshadow betrayal and intrigue. The tension builds as Sun Bin prepares to leave the safety of his teacher's guidance and face the realities of court intrigue and competition for power, setting the stage for an exploration of loyalty and treachery that defines their intertwined fates.
