His birth name was Sun Wu known outside of his family by his courtesy name Changqing ] The name Sun Tzu by which he is best known in the Western World is an Honorific which means "Master Sun".
Sun Tzu's historicity is uncertain. The Han dynasty historian Sima Qian and other traditional Chinese historians placed him as a minister to king helu of Wu and dated his lifetime to 544496 BC. Modern scholars accepting his historicity place the extant text of The Art of War in the later warring states period based on its style of composition and its descriptions of warfare. Traditional accounts state that the general's descendant sun bin wrote a treatise on military tactics, also titled the art of war. Since Sun Wu and Sun Bin were referred to as Sun Tzu in classical Chinese texts, some historians believed them identical, prior to the rediscovery of Sun Bin's treatise in 1972.
Sun Tzu's work has been praised and employed in East Asian warfare since its composition. During the twentieth century, The Art of War grew in popularity and saw practical use in Western society as well. It continues to influence many competitive endeavors in the world, including culture, politics, business, and sports, as well as modern warfare.
