According to the scant information about Sun Tzu, the master strategist was born in Ch’i (or Qi), modern Shandong Province, but he served in the court of King Ho-Lu (or He Lü) of Wu, who reigned from 514-496 BCE. If Sun Tzu truly did work for King Ho-Lu, then he would have been a contemporary of Confucius (c. 551-479 BCE). The recording of Sun Tzu’s sayings continued into the 3rd century BCE, culminating in The Art of War.
