An Analysis of the Bai-He Strategy of Guiguzi Culture in the Perspective of Game Theory

Abstract

Guiguzi summarised the techniques of lobbying and subjected them to inductive analysis, producing a work that is the culmination of lobbying, known as Guiguzi culture. In this study, the rationality and applicability of the strategy of Bai-He of Guiguzi culture were subjected to dialectics and analysis on the basis of the views of game theory. The findings demonstrated that the arguments proposed in the strategy of Bai-He in Guiguzi culture still conform to the behaviours exhibited in modern society of selecting a game strategy. Keywords—game theory; Bai-He strategy; Guiguzi culture.
