Nine Battlegrounds (I) by Sun Zi

English: When the warlords are fightingin their own territory, it is in dispersive ground. When a force has just made a shallow penetration into the territory of the enemy, it is considered to be on frontier ground. A terrain is equally advantageous for me and the other side to occupy is considered key ground.

Modern: 诸侯在自己境内作战，叫做散地。进入敌国但入境不深，叫做轻地。我军得到有利，敌军得到也有利的战地，叫做争地。

Original: 诸侯自战其地者，为散地。入人之地而不深者，为轻地。我得亦利，彼得亦利者，为争地。
