Pretend to be a Pig in Order to Eat the Tiger…
In the past hunters used to dress themselves as a pig to lure the tiger out of the mountains.
Sun Bin understood the value of pretending to be a pig.
When Pang Juan chopped off his feet and imprisoned him, Sun Bin pretended to go mad.
He acted like an idiot to make Pan Juan think he had nothing more to fear from him.
When Chi’s Ambassador visited Wei, Sun Bin used him to make a clever escape.
Sun Bin later destroyed Wei and put Pang Juan to death.
In Asian culture the making of a hero lies not in the capture of the tiger, but the endurance and disgrace of acting like a pig. To Asians endurance beyond any normal humans capacity, is true proof of adulthood.
‘When the enemy is strong, one must be careful in making preparations.
One should avoid strengths and attack weaknesses’. ‘When one is capable he must feign being incapable’. Sun Tzu Bing – Fa
