CNS correspondent, "The Art of War world line" to the second leg of an interview in Seoul, Korea. The "Art of War" when the world is generally believed that early in the seventh century, spread to Japan, later introduced to the Korean. The Han Guobing experts hold a different view, saying that "The Art of War" introduced to the Korean time may be earlier than Japan, but this issue pending further research.

Scholars here believe that Japan's Nara period Tang Dynasty students Kibi really prepared to "The Art of War" successor in Japan before the Korean peninsula, Baekje from several art of war home to Japan has been built city, as versed in Chinese Art of War was awarded the honorary Legion, the Korean Peninsula is very likely that several of Baekje art of war home to Japan, Chinese Art of War transmission. If this inference is valid, then the "Art of War," North Korea may be introduced as early as 70 years in Japan.

Therefore, the Japanese received from Baekje grandson thought there may be spread can not be excluded.

South Korea also scholars, "The Art of War," North Korea may be introduced as early as in Japan, which China and the DPRK immigrants. Because ancient Japan is backward, so the influence of Chinese civilization and China by the Korean people to settle in Japan, very popular, they will include the culture of military strategists, including the Chinese culture to Japan, this is entirely possible.

Cultural Counselor of Chinese Embassy in South Korea Shen Xiaogang agree with this argument, he believes the culture of the Korean Peninsula by the Chinese far-reaching effects, as early as the Tang Dynasty, the Korean peninsula, Silla States dedicated staff to China to study Chinese culture and the rule of strategy, direct copy to take back is common. Chinese characters is a long text written in Korean only, Koreans use Chinese characters to record their history, and gradually integrated into the Chinese cultural circle, the Chinese Confucian culture, military commander in the Korean culture first spread, it is not surprising.

According to the "Korean History" records, meaning cases in the 15th century to the ancestor of the Yi Dynasty period, has published "by the seven military book" Notes of this, among them "The Art of War." In 1777, North Korea did issue a "Manuscripts by injection Sun Wuzi straight solution." The book points on the next three volumes. In the "Manuscripts written by injection force by seven straight solution" within the department to Liu Yin's "straight solution" for the master copy. Updated from the old note added. To 1863, there Zhao Yi pure "grandson marrow" was published. After the 16th century, Korean version of "The Art of War" translation, assessment of large numbers.

Grandson of researchers in Japan, Park Hee research, North Korea's Goryeo Dynasty, "Sima Art of War", "armed by the seven books," "Three Strategies" has been very popular. North Korea tests in five subjects, "The Art of War" included. Korean famous patriotic star Yi Sun-sin have also experienced this test, then he is the Great Patriotic War, the Korean army in support of Chinese Ming Dynasty, with the "Art of War" victory over Japan.

And Japan the "Art of War" first used for military, for business after the war is different, first into the philosophy of the Korean Peninsula, after the integration of social and cultural life. Park Hee told reporters in the Korean era intellectuals, the "Art of War" as a philosophy of learning, not for war, but to learn from philosophy.
