Sun Bin's Art of War
1972Apr, 10

Tombs containing bamboo slips, among them Sun Tzu's Art of War and Sun Bin's lost military treatise, are accidentally discovered by construction workers in Shandong.

Sun Bin's Art of War is an ancient Chinese classic work on military strategy written by Sun Bin, supposedly descendant of Sun Tzu, who served as a military strategist in the Qi state during the Warring States period. According to historical records from the Han Dynasty, Sun Bin's Art of War contained 89 chapters, with four volumes of pictures attached, but it was lost by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. As a result, Sun Bin's Art of War is sometimes confused with Sun Tzu's The Art of War.
