If according to the historical records, it refers to "Bing Sheng Sun Wu, Mou Sheng Ghost Guzi, Ya Sheng Wu Qi, and Sub Saint Sun Zhen".

Sun Wu (孙武), also known as Changqing, was a famous military figure and politician in the Spring and Autumn Period, who was revered as "Bing Sheng" or "Sun Zi (Sun Wuzi)", also known as "BingJia Sheng", known as "the master of the Hundred Generations of Soldiers" and "the originator of Oriental Military Science". His main work is also the "Art of War of Sun Tzu", which is more familiar to everyone, which is the earliest surviving military book in the mainland, and is praised by later generations as the "Holy Code of Military Studies".

Wu Qi, a famous politician and outstanding military figure in the early Warring States period. Wu Qi's military thought is mainly concentrated in "Wu Zi", which not only occupies a very important position in ancient Chinese military texts, but also Wu Qi himself is also called "Sun Wu" together with the military scholar Sun Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period because of his important position in Chinese military history. Wu Qi's life has extremely high achievements in internal affairs and military affairs, although many of today's data show that Wu Qi did have some life stains in the early days, but judging from his legendary military achievements, the name of the soldier "Yasheng" is also well-deserved.

Sun Bing, a famous military figure in the State of Qi during the Warring States period, was a descendant of Sun Wu. In his youth, he studied the art of war with Pang Juan at the time, and had a deep attainment in military theory. For example, the "Siege of Wei and Rescue of Zhao", which we are more familiar with today, is related to it, and later after summarizing some war experiences, Sun Bing wrote in "Sun Bing's Art of War". It put forward a new tactical concept that has never been seen before, and is a treasure of ancient Chinese military theory. Because of his achievements and military masterpieces, he himself was later known as the "Ji Sheng", one of the four saints of the Bing family.

Wei Ji (尉缭), a warrior of the Warring States, was a liang of the State of Wei. According to legend, Wei Ji was an apprentice of Oniguzi, who studied astronomical geography and was best at the art of war, and also knew the art of face-to-face divination. The greatest achievement of Wei Ji's life was to write a copy of "Wei Jizi" and leave it to the world to discuss the methods and military strategies of soldiers.
