The following is a program that introduces Mandarin Chinese to the English-speaker. The discussion of language is also accompanied by a brief introduction to the well-known sixth-century essay, Thirty-six Stratagems (with historical examples and illustrations), as well as their corresponding hexagrams from the the ancient Chinese philosophy of change, the Yijing. The structure is such that each chapter contains one of the 36 stratagems as a kind of theme to which the vocabulary, characters, and sample sentences have been related, and each chapter is denoted by the hexagram corresponding to that stratagem.
