According to historical research, Sun Bin's ancestor was his son, and one of his descendants was named, who was named Sun Shi by the royal family at that time because of his active crusade against Ju 'an to show his glory. This is the ancestor of Sun's surname. During the Warring States Period, when Sun Bin was alive, all heroes were ready. At that time, he and Pang Juan studied the art of war under the famous Guiguzi. According to legend, each generation only accepts two apprentices, and each guiguzi is selected from the last two apprentices. He was a very famous person at that time. Under the guidance of such a famous teacher, Sun Bin and Pang Juan both made great achievements and soon became officials. Only Sun Bin's talent made Pang Juan an official. When they went to Wei together, Wang Wei deliberately wanted to find out who was more talented, but Pang Juan, who knew that he could not compare with him, plotted to frame Sun Bin, so that he was flogged and punished in Guizhou, and wanted to hit Sun Bin with physical disability, so that he could not give up his talent. However, Sun Bin was physically disabled and determined, and was not depressed. He secretly met the envoy of Qi who was visiting Wei at that time and persuaded him. And managed to rescue Sun Bin from Wei, and recommended it to Tian Ji, the general of Qi State at that time, who won the horse racing gold bet in Tian Ji with his own strategy. Later, Tian Ji recommended Sun Bin to Qi Weiwang, and Qi Weiwang highly valued Sun Bin.

The legend of Sun Bin, which has been handed down to this day, has to be related to one person, and that is his classmate Pang Juan. Both of them studied under guiguzi, and were also representatives of military strategists, who were proficient in the art of war. Such talents were strongly recruited by the heroes of the Warring States at that time, so before Sun Bin and Pang Juan started their careers, Wei made a list of recruiting talents with a large sum of money, which lured Pang Juan. He wanted to start his career as an official, so he said goodbye to his master.

However, Master's warning did not stop him from being jealous of his talent. When he was working in Wei with Sun Bin, he knew that his talent was not as good as that of Sun Bin, and he was afraid that Wang Wei would choose one and stay. So he designed to frame his fellow disciples and imprison Sun Bin, hoping to imprison him for life with physical disability and make him depressed. But he didn't expect Sun Bin to be physically disabled and determined, but he escaped from Wei and went to the door of Tian Ji, the general of Qi. Moreover, Qi fought against foreign countries, and Wei's army, as a strategist, finally wiped out Wei. Pang Juan also fulfilled Guiguzi's warning when he left, and it didn't come to a good end. In the war, Sun Bin gave up his position. On Maling Road, Wan Jian died in a suit. Their stories have been circulated for thousands of years and are still instructive today.

When Sun Bin and his brother Pang Juan were working in Wei, Pang Juan was so jealous that they were arrogant. Pang Juan, an insidious villain, framed Sun Bin and Sun Bin, who was in Wei, for his crime, and was ordered to go to prison by Wang Wei. Pang Juan put him to death in prison, and his feet were gouged out. Sun Bin escaped from Wei, worked for Qi, and took revenge with all his heart.

Wei and Zhao attacked Korea, helped Korea together, commanded the campaign, directly led the army to attack the capital of Wei, and lured Wei Jun general Pang Juan to pursue them. When marching five miles on the road, the kitchen marks left by the soldiers were reduced, deliberately causing the illusion that the Qi army had been marching for a long time, the troops were scattered and the soldiers were reduced, so as to confuse Wei Jun. When Wei Jun surveyed the kitchen of the Qi army, he was really caught, thinking that the Qi army was exhausted and pursued. Cut off the bark, carve "Pang Juan died under this tree", and then order the archers to ambush on both sides of Maling Road, waiting for Pang Jun's army to enter. Sure enough, after observing the military stoves left by the Qi army several times before, Wei Jun thought that the Qi army was a straggler here, so he was not afraid and went straight to Maling Road defenseless. When he saw the words on the tree, he took a closer look and saw the Qi army lying in ambush on both sides covered with arrows.

After World War I, Sun Bin gained great fame, and Sun Bin's art of war was admired by the world. People at that time studied his art of war.

Sun Bin and his brother Pang Juan studied under guiguzi, but compared with Pang Juan, Sun Bin is much more upright and easy to learn.

This kind of entertainment was very popular with the nobles, even Qi Weiwang, the king of Qi at that time, liked it.

Instead, he used inferior horses to compete with their superior horses, and his middle horse to compete with their superior horses. In this way, he lost and won, and won the final bet. This horse racing strategy caused a sensation, which is also the embodiment of Sun Bin's military thought. The success of this horse race also made Tian Ji recommend Sun Bin to Qi Weiwang, and Sun Bin was highly valued by the King of Qi.
