What is the Sun Tzu, The Art of War meme?

Sun Tzu, The Art of War is a moody black-and-white photo of a terracotta-style statue of an ancient Chinese general, shown from the chest up at the left edge of a pitch-black frame with a calm, stern face. The empty black space on the right is waiting for a quotation. The joke is fake wisdom: write any modern, petty or obviously wrong piece of advice there, sign it "Sun Tzu, The Art of War", and it suddenly sounds like ancient military strategy.

Origin: Sun Tzu is the Chinese general traditionally credited with The Art of War, a treatise on strategy written roughly 2,500 years ago. Attributing invented quotes to him has long been a running internet joke.

Also known as: Sun Tzu Quote, The Art of War Quote, Fake Sun Tzu Quote.
