夫兵者,非士恒势也。此先王之傅道也。战胜,则所以存亡国,继绝世也。
Warfare has no fixed momentum. This is the eternal principle passed down by ancient kings. Victory preserves endangered states and revives broken clans.
—— 《孙膑兵法 · 见威王》— Sun Bin's Art of War, "Meeting King Wei"
孙膑(约公元前380年—前320年),战国时期齐国军事家,孙武后裔。曾与庞涓同学兵法,庞涓忌其才,设计使其受膑刑(剜去膝盖骨),故世称"孙膑"。后被齐国使者秘密救出,任齐威王军师。桂陵之战、马陵之战两度大败魏军,庞涓自刎。晚年退隐著书,留下兵法传世。
Sun Bin (c. 380–320 BC) was a military strategist of the Qi state during the Warring States period, and a descendant of Sun Tzu. He studied warfare alongside Pang Juan, who, out of jealousy, had Sun Bin's kneecaps removed — hence the name "Sun Bin" (the kneecapped). Rescued by a Qi envoy, he became military advisor to King Wei of Qi. He defeated Wei twice at the battles of Guiling and Maling, driving Pang Juan to suicide. He later retired and authored his classic treatise on warfare.
《孙膑兵法》共16篇,1972年出土于山东临沂银雀山汉墓竹简,失传近两千年终重见天日。全书继承并发展了孙武兵法思想,强调"必攻不守"的主动进攻原则,提出"天地之间莫贵于人"的人本战争观,在阵法、选卒、造势等方面有独到创见。
Sun Bin's Art of War consists of 16 chapters, discovered in 1972 on bamboo slips at the Yinque Han Tombs in Linyi, Shandong — lost for nearly 2,000 years. The text inherits and develops Sun Tzu's strategic thought, emphasizing the principle of "attacking the undefended," championing a human-centric view of warfare ("nothing between heaven and earth is more precious than people"), and offering unique insights on formations, troop selection, and momentum.

Trade local disadvantage for overall advantage — accept losses in non-core areas, concentrate superior resources on the decisive battlefield. Analogous to "mixed strategy equilibrium" in game theory.
