Using bronze as a mirror, one can dress properly; using people as a mirror, one can understand gains and losses; using history as a mirror, one can know the rise and fall. If a country wants long-term peace, there must be a focus on national defence. Even in modern countries, there is military conscription every year and new weaponry is continuously being developed. Why is this so? Isn't it for the protection of the country? Even in the absence of war, preparations must be made for wars that may or may not come.
