Etymology

The first mention is found in the Book of Southern Qi:

敬則曰：「檀公三十六策，走是上計。汝父子唯應急走耳。」 [MSC, trad.]

---

敬则曰：“檀公三十六策，走是上计。汝父子唯应急走耳。” [MSC, simp.]

From: Nanqishu

Jìngzé yuē: “Tán Gōng sānshíliùcè, zǒu shì shàngjì. Rǔ fùzǐ wéi yìng jí zǒu ěr.” [Pinyin]

Jingze said, "Among the thirty-six stratagems of Duke Tan, fleeing is the best stratagem. You and your father should quickly flee."

The number thirty-six here is likely a figure of speech meant to denote "numerous stratagems" instead of any specific number.

On the other hand, the current Thirty-Six Stratagems is based on a book with the same title published in 1941 that claims to be a reprint of a book discovered at a bookstall in Bin County (邠縣／邠县), Shaanxi that contains the thirty-six stratagems.
