Book Introduction
The Secret of Life Through 5,000 Years of Chinese History: "Houheuk"
The Survival Guide to 'Shamelessness' and 'Slyness'


In today's world, where the survival of a nation is determined by the competition between companies, "The Study of Emperors for CEOs" (Huhukhak) outlines the skills needed for CEOs and executives to successfully survive in global competition.
Published in the late Qing Dynasty, it garnered attention across the continent for its groundbreaking message of "abandoning morality for profit," and is also considered one of the most influential academic disciplines on the national character of modern Chinese. By reinterpreting the study of Houhe Studies as a message of corporate management and self-development, it provides a deeper and more superior aesthetic than the original in an era of great upheaval when the axis of world power is shifting from West to East.

The Black Learning of the Later Han emerged during the turbulent times of the Qing Dynasty's downfall and the birth of the New China, and explains the principles of success that penetrate the essence of thousands of years of Chinese governance as 'shamelessness' and 'insidiousness.'
The essence of the Black Study is, in a word, to be 'iron-faced', and this is explained through examples of heroes and valiant men in Chinese history.
The countless great men who decorated Chinese history and were called heroes were all thick-skinned and extremely sinister people.
He also emphasizes that among the famous queens, generals, heroes, and sages throughout history from ancient times to the present, there has not been a single one who did not succeed through the use of Houhuk.


The book thrillingly describes the dark history of heroes who roamed the vast continent from the Eastern Zhou to the founding of the New China, including King Goujian of the Yue Dynasty, King Fuchai of Wu, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang and Han Xin, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Sima Yi, and Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong.
Through this book, readers will realize that even the history of heroes is full of cunning schemes and that even the world's sages used despicable tricks to break the necks of their opponents.
Also, you will realize that the first advisor of the heroes who commanded the world was none other than Houhuk's technique, and you will be able to utilize it in your own life.

Into the book
If you win, everything is glorified and you become the 'savior of the world', but if you lose, everything is denigrated and you become the 'eternal traitor'.
Lee Jong-oh explains the background that led him to advocate for the dark side as follows.

At first, I wanted to become a hero after I learned how to read and started reading books.
I read the Four Books and Five Classics, but I got nothing out of it.
I tried to gain knowledge through the Hundred Schools of Thought and the Twenty-Four Schools of Thought, but this also yielded no results.
So I thought that the heroes of old must have had some secret technique that was not known to the world, but I was just not good enough to find it.
Then, I realized that the rise and fall of a country and the historian's opinions were completely contradictory.
Although I tried very hard to find out the secret, I couldn't find it easily.
After much research, I finally discovered the age-old secret to success: a thick complexion and a dark heart.


This is why, when examining the records of the historical records of the victors, we must carefully examine the background.
By reading between the lines of Lee Jong-oh's book, he discovered the background of the encounter between the peerless savior and the age-old traitor.
To become the savior of the world, one must win, and to win, one must become a master of the Black Sword. This is the final conclusion he reached after reading the 24 historical records.

Bluffing is a tactic frequently used in military and diplomatic fields.
Basically, it can be effective when backed up by strong military force.
If not, at best you can only temporarily deceive your opponent with so-called 'bluffing'.
Bluffing can temporarily fool your opponent into thinking you're giving him an all-out bet.
However, if you continue to use this, there is a high possibility that your opponent will read your weak hand and you will suffer a defeat.
This is why you need to develop your skills without revealing them.
That is the Daoguangyanghui, which hides the light of the blade in the scabbard and cultivates one's skills.
This is also the secret behind China, once one of the poorest countries in the world, rising to become a G2 country in just 30 years after opening up.

Obama's dark actions, which reached the level of a swindler, were immediately apparent upon his arrival in China.
He bowed his head about 45 degrees when shaking hands with Premier Wen Jiabao.
On the other hand, Wen Jiabao straightened his neck and greeted him.
Wen Jiabao was a humble and down-to-earth person who was praised as the 'second Zhou Enlai'.
His raising of his neck was a gesture intended to boost the pride of the Chinese people.
But he too failed to properly read Obama's dark intentions.
At the time, Obama lowered himself and said this.
“The American economy is surviving thanks to China.”
Here, the pride of the United States, the once unrivaled superpower that once commanded the world, is nowhere to be found.
Even if America's standing is not what it once was, was it really necessary to use such self-deprecating language to stoke the pride of the Chinese leadership? Needless to say, this has deeply damaged the pride of Americans, who still regard the United States as the sole superpower.
However, his actions were a sophisticated tactic that came after careful calculation.
Objectively speaking, it is impossible for the United States to continue to be the sole superpower in the 21st century.
What you need is a worthy partner to share the roles with.
No matter how much I look around, there is only China.
Chinese people love 'face'.
If so, the United States needs to boost its own self-esteem to its fullest potential.

It is important to note that, with the exception of the supreme rulers, who are the commanders-in-chief of the global economic war, and the heads of some global corporations, most leaders must demonstrate both the leadership of a "superior" and a "subordinate."
The problem lies in the conflict between the leadership of the 'superior' and the 'subordinate'.
A ruler in times of chaos should not reveal his true feelings, and conversely, a subject in times of chaos must first accurately understand his ruler's true feelings in order to persuade him.
Moreover, a ruler in times of chaos should not use his wisdom and power, and conversely, a subject in times of chaos should not display his wisdom and power recklessly.
So, what kind of leadership should the countless executives below the highest government and corporate leaders, and the heads of global corporations, practice? Needless to say, they must demonstrate the leadership of a "sergeant."
Only then can he display his wisdom and convictions based on the trust of the commander, and gain the respect of his subordinates.

Publisher's Review
A guide to winning in political strife

The way of life of an emperor, whose family's fate depends on victory or defeat, is different in purpose and direction from the way of life of a nouveau riche who only seeks personal safety.
This is similar to the difference in behavior between a new employee who has just joined an organization and the CEO who leads the entire company.
In the world of the nouveau riche, opportunities come only through cowardice and narrow-mindedness, but in the world of the emperor, victory can only be achieved through 'shamelessness' and 'cunningness'.

《The Art of Shamelessness and Insidiousness that Creates the History of Winners》(published by Wisdom House) is a 'CEO's Guide to Imperialism' that compiles the skills of survival for CEOs and executives to successfully survive global competition in today's world where the survival of a nation is determined by the competition between companies.
'Huhuk' is a shortened form of 'myeonhu', meaning thick face, and 'simheuk', meaning dark heart.
Born from the desire to secure self-respect against the invasion of great powers, "The Black History of China" shows the core of the "aesthetics of shamelessness and insidiousness" that served as the greatest driving force for China, once one of the world's poorest countries, to grow into a powerful nation on par with the United States.
Published in the late Qing Dynasty, it garnered attention across the continent for its groundbreaking message of "abandoning morality for profit," and is also considered one of the most influential academic disciplines on the national character of modern Chinese.
《The Black History of the World: The Aesthetics of Shamelessness and Insidiousness that Create the History of the Winners》 is a commentary that reinterprets the original text with messages on corporate management and self-development. In an era of great upheaval, where the axis of global power is shifting from West to East, it will provide a deeper and more profound aesthetic than the original.


The classic strategy that brought China into the ranks of the G2
The secrets of life that run through 5,000 years of Chinese history!


The Black Learning of China emerged during the turbulent times of the Qing Dynasty's downfall and the birth of the New China, and explains the principles of success that penetrate the essence of thousands of years of Chinese governance as 'shamelessness' and 'insidiousness.'
The essence of the Dark Learning is, in a word, 'become shameless.'
It reminds us that the countless great men who decorated Chinese history, known as heroes, were all thick-skinned and extremely sinister people, and it emphasizes that among the queens, ministers, heroes, and sages who made a name for themselves throughout history from ancient times to the present, there has not been a single one who did not succeed through the help of Houheuk.
Meanwhile, when criticizing the Chinese national character of not easily admitting to unfavorable problems, taking lies lightly, and not apologizing, the first academic discipline to be mentioned is the "Houheukhak" (The Study of the Black Heart).
However, it cannot be denied that this way of life is a survival strategy that China has learned to navigate the turbulent twists and turns of history, and is the most important driving force that has brought China to the ranks of the G2 today.
President Hu Jintao, known for his gentle personality and rarely revealing his emotions, responded to a question about human rights issues in China during his visit to the United States with a relaxed expression, saying, “(Regarding human rights issues) there is still a lot that needs to be done in China,” which can be seen as being in the same context.

A masterpiece by Shin Dong-jun, a master of classical studies,
Reborn as a must-read for 21st-century entrepreneurs

The teacher seeks solutions to wisely navigate the 21st century Northeast Asian era in the classics of the three East Asian countries. The commentary, "Huhukhak: The Aesthetics of Shamelessness and Insidiousness that Create the History of the Winners," which he completed after two rounds of translation and editing, can be said to be the fruit of the teacher's scholarly exploration.
It introduces the essence of Lee Jong-oh's "The Art of Obsession" in a concise manner, and reorganizes the "Gu-gwan-yuk-ja-yeon" and "Ju-gwan-yuk-ja-yeon" mantras, which are necessary for obtaining or maintaining official positions, to fit the 21st century, and introduces nine life skills that corporate CEOs, executives, superiors, and subordinates who have entered the global battlefield must follow.
This article introduces the essential attitudes that South Korea must possess to effectively usher in the era of unification and a Northeast Asian hub.
《The Black History of the West: The Aesthetics of Shamelessness and Insidiousness that Create the History of the Winners》 is a book written with the author's hope and sense of mission to see South Korea rise above Japan and China as the victor of Asia in an era of great upheaval where the axis of world power is shifting from West to East. It will present a deeper and more exquisite aesthetic than the original.


The strategies and secret arts of heroes of troubled times, encompassing the Records of the Grand Historian and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

When Xiang Yu threatened to take his father hostage and boil him to death, Liu Bang calmly asked for a bowl of soup to share with him. When he was being chased by the Chu soldiers and the carriage was too heavy to escape, he kicked his children three times to lighten the weight of the carriage. After taking control of the world, he threw Han Xin and Peng Yue into exile.
Sima Yi's cunning was on a par with Cao Cao's, as he even targeted widows and orphans in his scams. When he was humiliated by receiving a jianguo (a head scarf worn by women as part of formal attire) from Zhuge Liang, he welcomed the messenger and then politely sent him off, showing his shamelessness no less than Liu Bei's.
The book is an exciting account of the dark history of heroes who roamed the vast continent from the Eastern Zhou to the founding of the New China, including King Goujian of the Yue Dynasty, King Fuchai of Wu, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang and Han Xin, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Sima Yi, and Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong.
Through books, we learn that even the history of heroes is full of cunning schemes, and that even the world's sages used despicable tricks to break the necks of their opponents.
Through the achievements and achievements of the heroes of the troubled times, you will realize that the first advisor of the heroes who commanded the world was none other than Houhuk's technique.
