Wu Zixu's friend Sun Wu.
Sun Wu, the word Shaoqing, the ancestors respectfully called him Sun Tzu and Sun Wuzi. Born in the Qi kingdom of Le'an (ancient Shandong Guangrao), the detailed date of death is not available for Chinese New Year's Eve, about Confucius (551 BC-479 BC) at the same time or slightly earlier. Sun Wu's ancestor was named Fu Qian, who was knighted by Emperor Zhou as the monarch of Chen Guo (Chen Guo is in the eastern part of ancient Hebei and Anhui as a whole, the capital is Wanqiu, and the ancient Hebei Huaiyang), so Chen is the clan.
Later, because of the coup d'état of Chen International's death, Sun Wu's close ancestor Chen Wan took his family with his family, and fled to Qi to seek refuge in Duke Huan of Qi. After Chen Wan was in the Qi State Fake Apartment, he changed the Chen family to the Tian family, so he was also called Tian Wan. Tian Wan's fifth grandson Tianshu (i.e., Sun Wu's granddaughter), for the sake of the Chinese New Year's Eve clan of the Qi Kingdom, and as a result of the meritorious war in the war of Faju (ancient Shandong Ju County), the Duke of Qi Jing gave him Le Anqi as a caiyi and gave him the surname Sun.
Trapped in this, Tianshu is also known as Sun Shu. After the "rule of the four surnames" of the Qi State, Sun Wu separated the Qi State and went to live in the Wu State in the Northern Circle, and later assisted the King of Wu to achieve hegemony. Sun Wu did not write the "Book of Soldiers", which was destroyed as the "Holy Book of Soldiers" and placed at the end of the "Seven Books of the Book of Martial Arts".
It has been translated into English, French, German, and Japanese, and has become the most famous book of military education in China.

Wu Zixu [1], a doctor of Wu Guo in the late Spring and Autumn Period, was one of the most written figures in Chinese history books, and was originally a historical celebrity. From the perspective of China's tomb robbery cultural history, he is also a heavyweight. Not to mention digging people's tombs, he also had to take a leather whip to vent on the corpse of King Chuping, and whipped three hundred whips, which can be described as the most vicious gravedigger.
Wu. Wu Zixu was sealed in Shendi, so it is also called Shenxu. He was originally from Chu (his home was in the area of Lailong Town, Suqian City). After entering Wu, he assisted the king of Wu, repaired the legal system to appoint meritocracy, rewarded farmers and merchants with real warehouses, and governed the city to set up garrisons.
Wu Zixu has been associated with many celebrities in Chinese history, such as Gou Jian, King of Yue, Sun Wu, Fan Li, Xi Shi, etc. Sun Wu was proficient in the art of war, and was recommended by Wu Zixu as a general of Wu State, so he became famous all over the world; Xi Shi, one of the "four beauties" in Chinese history, and Wu Zixu's grievances are also very famous, when Wu Zixu suggested killing the Yue King Goujian, but the lustful King Wu did not listen, Fan Li then resorted to the "beauty plan", dedicated Xi Shi to the King of Wu, and separated the relationship between the King of Wu and Wu Zixu, resulting in Wu Zixu being killed. After his death, people took pity on him, and set up a temple next to the river that Wu Zixu threw into, and the hill by the river was also named Xu Mountain.
After his death, the state of Wu soon perished. Wu Zixu became a famous poacher in Chinese history because of his hatred with King Chuping before he left Wu. According to the "Zuo Biography", in 522 BC (the twenty-third year of King Jing of Zhou), because he was framed by Fei Wuji, the young prince of Chu, his father and brother were killed by King Chuping, and Wu Zixu was forced to flee from Wu State, vowing to bring down Chu State in order to avenge his hatred.
After helping Gongziguang kill Wu Wangyi (specializing in assassins), he implemented a series of policies to enrich the country and strengthen the army. In 506 BC, after Sun Wu broke through the city of Chu and completed the status of King Wu as the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period", Wu Zixu also found an opportunity to avenge the murder of his father and brother. It is said that the first thing Wu Zixu wanted to do after entering Chu was to find the tomb of King Chuping, who died not long ago.
I didn't find it after looking for a day, because King Chuping ordered all the craftsmen involved in the construction of the tomb to be killed in order to prevent the mausoleum site from being known. After the guidance of an old craftsman who escaped by luck, Wu Zixu successfully dug up the tomb of King Chuping, dug up his corpse, whipped him to relieve his hatred, and whipped it three hundred times before he stopped, which is the allusion of "three hundred whipping corpses". Another theory is that Wu Zixu caught King Chu Zhao, the son of King Chu Ping, tortured him, and forced him to tell the whereabouts of his father's tomb, and Wu Zixu succeeded.
This matter is also recorded in the "Historical Records", but Sima Qian felt that Wu Zixu's behavior was excessive, saying that "resentment is very bad to people". Modern academic circles have also triggered the controversy of "whipping corpses" and "whipping graves", believing that Wu Zixu did not whip the corpse at all, but only whipped the tomb of King Liangping. The tomb of King Chuping no longer exists, and the history books do not record this matter thoroughly, and the truth of the matter is a historical mystery that can never be solved.
