明修栈道, 暗渡陳倉

Today, I watched a TV programme in CCTV4. It was talking about one of the historical Chinese stories: Thirty-six Startagem "三十六計". Ther are thirty six stories in the Thirty-Six Stratagem. The programme talked about one of them. That is "Openly repair the gallery roads, but sneak through the passage of Chencang", in Chinese "明修栈道, 暗渡陳倉". I like the original passage in Chinese as follows.

“示之以动,利其静而有主,益动而巽。”from wikipedia

In there, 巽 is one of the symbols in "易經", which means wind. The whole passage means to do something silence to distract your enemy and move to your target as fast as wind. Why wind? Wind moves fast and silent.

Think how to apply in daily life.
