Who are the followers of Sun Tzu

 The Art of War was introduced into Japan c. AD 760 and the book quickly became popular among Japanese generals.

Ho Chi Minh translated the work for his Vietnamese officers to study. His general Võ Nguyên Giáp, the strategist behind victories over French and American forces in Vietnam, was likewise an avid student and practitioner of Sun Tzu's ideas.[34][35][36]

America's Asian conflicts against JapanNorth Korea, and North Vietnam brought Sun Tzu to the attention of American military leaders. The Department of the Army in the United States, through its Command and General Staff College, has directed all units to maintain libraries within their respective headquarters for the continuing education of personnel in the art of war. The Art of War is mentioned as an example of works to be maintained at each facility, and staff duty officers are obliged to prepare short papers for presentation to other officers on their readings.[37] Similarly, Sun Tzu's Art of War is listed on the Marine Corps Professional Reading Program.[38] During the Gulf War in the 1990s, both Generals Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. and Colin Powell employed principles from Sun Tzu related to deception, speed, and striking one's enemy's weak points.[32] However, the United States and other Western countries have been criticised for not truly understanding Sun Tzu's work and not appreciating The Art of War within the wider context of Chinese society.[39]

In the 1987 film Wall Street, the protagonist Gordon Gekko frequently cites passages from The Art of War as guiding principles for his aggressive trading techniques.[40]

Daoist rhetoric is a component incorporated in the Art of War. According to Steven C. Combs in "Sun-zi and the Art of War: The Rhetoric of Parsimony",[41] warfare is "used as a metaphor for rhetoric, and that both are philosophically based arts."[41] Combs writes "Warfare is analogous to persuasion, as a battle for hearts and minds."[41] The application of The Art of War strategies throughout history is attributed to its philosophical rhetoric. Daoism is the central principle in the Art of War. Combs compares ancient Daoist Chinese to traditional Aristotelian rhetoric, notably for the differences in persuasion. Daoist rhetoric in the art of war warfare strategies is described as "peaceful and passive, favoring silence over speech".[41] This form of communication is parsimonious. Parsimonious behavior, which is highly emphasized in The Art of War as avoiding confrontation and being spiritual in nature, shapes basic principles in Daoism.[42]

Mark McNeilly writes in Sun Tzu and the Art of Modern Warfare that a modern interpretation of Sun and his importance throughout Chinese history is critical in understanding China's push to becoming a superpower in the twenty-first century. Modern Chinese scholars explicitly rely on historical strategic lessons and The Art of War in developing their theories, seeing a direct relationship between their modern struggles and those of China in Sun Tzu's time. There is a great perceived value in Sun Tzu's teachings and other traditional Chinese writers, which are used regularly in developing the strategies of the Chinese state and its leaders.[43]

In 2008, the Chinese television producer Zhang Jizhong adapted Sun Tzu's life story into a 40-episode historical drama television series entitled Bing Sheng, starring Zhu Yawen as Sun Tzu.[44]

The video game Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition contains challenge missions based on Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War', which explains the military tactics and strategies.[45]

In the animated television series, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero's'', story arc, "Arise, Serpentor, Arise," Cobra Command under Dr. Mindbender's direction gathers the genetic material from the remains of important historical military leaders in order to create a composite clone for their new Emperor, Serpentor. In this project, a vital component is the genetic essence of Sun Tzu to emulate his strategic brilliance. When the G.I. Joe Special Missions force manages to thwart that acquisition, the absence of that military philosopher's steadying influence leads to Serpentor becoming overly emotional and recklessly foolhardy in his command.

What was Chinese Historian told about Sun Tzu Art Of War

 The Chinese historian Sima Qian recounted that China's first historical emperorQin's Shi Huangdi, considered the book invaluable in ending the time of the Warring States.

Sun Tzu Chinese Remainder Theorem(He was not General who wrote art of war)

 The earliest known statement of the theorem, as a problem with specific numbers, appears in the 3rd-century book Sun-tzu Suan-ching by the Chinese mathematician Sun-tzu (He was not General who wrote art of war)

There are certain things whose number is unknown. If we count them by threes, we have two left over; by fives, we have three left over; and by sevens, two are left over. How many things are there

Sun Tzu Quotes 4

 Taking sudden decisions by military leadership will leads to successful in war.This is like catching prey by Bonneli's Eagle

Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant

If his forces are united, separate them

Attack him where he is unprepared

There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.

He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.

He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
