Are Sun Wu and Sun Bin the same person or two different people?

Sun Wu and Sun Bin, people have been puzzled for a long time whether they are one person or two people. History of Han Art and Literature contains Wu Sunzi and Qi Sunzi. In Sui Shu Jing Ji Zhi, there is no mention of Qi Sunzi. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, people think that the Art of War was written by Cao Cao and Sun Bin. Now, when the bamboo slips of Sun Tzu's Art of War and Sun Bin's Art of War were unearthed from the Han Tomb in Yinque Mountain, south of Linyi County, Sun Bin's Art of War, which had been lost for nearly 2,000 years, came to light again, and the problem that Sun Wu and Sun Bin argued about his books for more than 1,000 years was clarified.

Sun Bin's Art of War *** 16. The first to fourth articles are questions and answers between Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Qi Weiwang and Tian Ji, which must have been written by Sun Bin. The sixteenth article "Qiang Bing" also describes the question and answer between Sun Tzu and Qi Weiwang, but perhaps the Han people are not sure whether this article was written by Sun Bin himself, so it is temporarily attached to the end of the book. From chapter 5 to chapter 15, the capital is called Sun Tzu Yue, but its style and style are obviously different from Sun Tzu's Art of War and its lost chapters. So these chapters of "Sun Tzu" may refer to Sun Bin or Sun Bin. Through Sun Bin's The Art of War, people can also confirm Sun Wu and Sun Bin, both of whom have their own records of the art of war handed down from generation to generation in Historical Records. Sun Tzu's Art of War and Sun Bin's Art of War were discovered at the same time, which solved this long-standing question.

So historians believe that Sun Wu is the grandson of Wu and Sun Bin is the grandson of Qi. They came from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to textual research, Sun Bin is a descendant of Sun Wu, and Sun Tzu's Art of War is intrinsically related to Sun Bin's Art of War. The former is the foundation of the latter, and the latter is the elaboration and inheritance of the former. They not only formed a unique statement, but also conformed to Sun Shi's way. On the basis of inheriting Sun Wu's thoughts, Sun Bin has made new progress in strategy, tactics, military management and military philosophy.
