Sun Wu (simplified Chinese: 孙武; traditional Chinese: 孫武; pinyin: Sūn Wǔ), style name Changqing (長卿), better known as Sun Tzu or Sunzi[1] (simplified Chinese: 孙子; traditional Chinese: 孫子; pinyin: Sūnzǐ; pronounced [swə́n tsɨ̀]), was an ancient Chinese military general, strategist and philosopher who is traditionally believed and most likely to have authored The Art of War, an influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy. Sun Tzu has had a significant impact on Chinese and Asian history and culture, both as an author of The Art of War and through legend. During the 19th and 20th centuries, Sun Tzu's The Art of War grew in popularity and saw practical use in Western society, and his work has continued to influence both Asian and Western culture and politics.

Historians have questioned whether or not Sun Tzu was an authentic historical figure. Traditional accounts place him in the Spring and Autumn Period of China (722--481 BCE) as a military general serving under King Helü of Wu, who lived c. 544—496 BCE. Scholars accepting his historicity place his supposed writing The Art of War in the Warring States Period (476--221 BCE), based on the descriptions of warfare in the text. Traditional accounts state that his descendant, Sun Bin, also wrote a treatise on military tactics, titled Sun Bin's Art of War. (Both Sun Wu and Sun Bin were referred to as Sun Tzu in classical Chinese writings, and some historians thought that Sun Wu was in fact Sun Bin until Sun Bin's own treatise was discovered in 1972.)

  • ASIAN = THE TRUE MASTER RACE !!!

    WHITE CAUCASIANS = ANIMAL PORN LOVERS !

  • @HistoryHmoobGuy Dude shut the fuck up with your inane racist comments, people are generally treated according to their manner, maybe its you who needs to have a good long hard look at yourself?

  • @MilitiaHQ LOL AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

    Then please tell me, please !

    How come white people just hate me for no reason, other then me being asian ?

  • @HistoryHmoobGuy I agree with you i would not like to be a non white person living in the US, in fact i dont think i would even like to be a white person living in the US, if you believe people hate you for being Asian then you dont need those people you are better than that, i have good friends of all races and it all comes down to one simple thing, all people want in this world is to be treated with a bit of respect. If you cant get this blame the individual, not the race.

  • Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.

    -Sun Tzu

    Works everytime against my enemies

  • @limwang75 I don't know which illness bothers you, my friend. But you obviously do not understand that China was ruined by Qing dynasty, CCP, and colonial idiots like you. Before that China was a greatest civilization on Earth. U.S. lost a war in Vietnam because U.S. is terrible, terrible in strategy, they killed 5+ million of civilians, burned villages, and left a hell behind, like they always do.

    I will give you a friendly advice, go do some serious study in history and moral.

see all

  • @YJM1991 well he try to show the king that war is not a game or just another minor problem and death is the reality of war, it is usually hit the hardest when it happen to a person you know

  • @HistoryHmoobGuy loool you made a point for the caucasians cuz when you watch their films there is no more shakespeare type love, where using poetry and good deeds. Only have a great hump and french kiss.

  • @YJM1991 That's were the Oda set up the long barricades with the musketeers lined up and the marksmen wiped out the Takaeda cavalry.

  • @CosmoShidan If you mean the battle of Nagashino that was Takeda Katsuyori, Shingen son. The only battle Shingen fought Oda was Mikatagahara along with Tokugawa alliance. And Tokugawa got his butt whoop. Unfortunately Takeda died of illness.

  • Spoiler: The girl execution part was Sun Tzu showing discipline to the army. Such as a fail army is not because of the army but because of the commander. The commander has fail to discipline the army. Read it and you will know how badass Sun Tzu was.

  • @TheTV1234 Agree Sun Tzu added one of the earliest document about the Human psychology warfare. Like how to fool the enemy of your army size.

  • @CannabisDelux I read the book and even bought it. However that doesn't mean I learn everything. I am still an amateur at it. For the most parts it teaches the fundamental of outwitting your enemy. Learn your mistake and flee to fight another day. Using enemy provision to support your troop. Select a battle. Avoid large casualty like destroying a city. Attack if you got enough resources so your army won't be exhausted. I think it introduces technology advantages as well like Bowgun and Calvary.

  • @YJM1991 Don't know enough about the Takaeda, but Nobunaga Oda was great when it came to the usage of renaissance firearms.

  • @CosmoShidan Speaking of Musashi; Takeda Shingen Furinkazan was amazing.
