Sima Qian established himself as a giant in the field of historiography with a Historical Records, which is a masterpiece of historians, but later generations, such as the History of the Three Kingdoms by Chen Shou and Zi Tong Zhi Jian by Sima Guang, failed to reach Sima Qian's position. Sun Wu is such an example. His research and record of Sun Tzu's art of war is creative and the greatest so far. Call him a thinker rather than a strategist. His contribution to military war is not a certain war but a lasting influence. Sun Wu is the originator of the military.

Sun Wu's most important and influential book, The Art of War, is the best proof. This book is full of superhuman wisdom and amazing combat military skills. Among them, "know yourself and know yourself, and you will win every battle", "Who will win the battle and take it by surprise" and "Military orders will not be affected" have become famous sentences known to women and children throughout the ages.

The reason why Sun Wu is so admired by people is that he lived in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, his military theory is still used today, which shows Sun Wu's superb military talent.

Military strategists of later generations are only constantly perfecting Sun Wu's theory and changing Sun Wu's strategic system of guerrilla, siege and invasion. Sun Wu is a well-deserved military commander.
