Abstract
This chapter introduces non-Abelian gauge symmetry and the associated field equations for spin-1 particles. It proposes the gauge theory Quantum Chromodynamics as the theory of the strong interaction. It describes the property of asymptotic freedom, which explains a number of mysteries in the experimental results shown in the previous three chapters.
