Use when transitioning from conquest to stabilization or diagnosing dynastic failure. Applies the principle that 取与守不同术也 (taking and keeping power require different methods), shifting from military force (诈力) to benevolence and adaptability (顺权).
A framework for understanding that different phases of state development require different governing approaches. Conquest requires different methods than stabilization.
取与守不同术也 - The methods for taking power differ from the methods for maintaining power.
Continuing conquest-phase methods during stabilization leads to collapse. The failure to adapt governance style is a primary cause of dynastic failure.
