Sun Wu (about 545 BC-about 470 BC), a famous strategist in the Spring and Autumn Period, was honored as a soldier saint, also known as the "most holy strategist", known as "the teacher of hundreds of battles" and "the originator of eastern military science", and wrote Sun Tzu's Art of War. He once led the Wu army to defeat the Chu army, occupied Yongcheng, the capital of Chu, and almost fell.

Sun Bin is a descendant of Sun Wu, and there is a gap of more than one hundred years between them. As for whether Sun Bin is the grandson of Sun Wu, there is no way to prove it, but Sun Bin, like Sun Wu, has made great achievements in the art of war. Sun Bin (date of birth and death unknown) was a strategist of Qi State during the Warring States Period and a descendant of Sun Wu.

Bin Sun, a former classmate of Pang Juan, was physically disabled by Pang Juan. Later, he went to Qi with the help of an envoy of Qi, and was appointed as a military adviser, helping Tian Ji, the general of Qi, to defeat Pang Juan twice, winning the battle of Guiling and Maling, which laid the foundation for Qi's hegemony.
