There is a saying in Chinese history that " Sun Shu'ao ruled Chu, and Chu became hegemony in three years." With his assistance, King Zhuang of Chu became one of the " Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period".

He is good at educating and guiding the people, so that Chu State can be harmonious and the country can be peaceful.

A hermit named Jianwu came to visit Sun Shuao specially and asked him: "You have served as Lingyin (now Prime Minister) three times, but you have not felt any glory, and you have left the position of Lingyin three times, and you have not shown any worry. I began to feel sorry for him." I'm confused. Now that you look so peaceful, what are you thinking?"

Sun Shuao said: "I actually have nothing special about me. I think the arrival of the official title is unavoidable. It is unstoppable. Gains and losses are not up to me, so I don’t feel glory or sorrow. I don’t know whether the official position should fall on others, or should it fall on others. It shouldn't happen, it has nothing to do with me; if it falls on me, others shouldn't have it, it has nothing to do with others, what I pursue is to let nature take its course."

Sun Shuao was indifferent to fame and wealth, and he was very indifferent to the ups and downs of life. He knew how to advance and retreat, and had a good attitude. This made him safe throughout his life and blessed his descendants.
