三十六計/ San Shi Liu Ji – The Thirty six Stratagems Number 29

樹上開花/Shu Shang Kai Hua – Deck the Tree with Fake Blossoms

原文:借局布勢,力小勢大。鴻漸於陸,其羽可用為儀也。

Original Text: Borrow a situation to spread your influence, though your power is small your influence will be large. The wild goose gradually leaves the land, its feathers may be used in rites.

解析:借助其它條件佈成有利的陣勢,使弱小的兵力顯示出強大的氣勢。就像長空列陣的雁群憑藉羽翼和隊形來助長氣勢一樣。

Analysis: Draw support from other circumstances to successfully lay out an advantageous battle array, causing a smaller & weaker military force to display the imposing manner of a larger force. In that case, resemble the vast sky when arranging the troop disposition, just as a flock of wild geese relies on their wings & formation, to foster an imposing manner.
