《司马兵法》并非伪书，而是齐景公时司马穰苴对古《司马法》的发挥和阐释，由齐威王时齐国士大夫们将二者追论杂糅而成。在流传过程中，兵家往往只注重其主旨大意，并不完全拘于原文原句，因此今本与辑本在文字表述上有所出入。并不能以此来否定二者的一致性。 “Sima Bing” is not a fake book, but Qi Jing Gong Sima 穰 苴 on the ancient “Sima Act” to play and interpret, by the Qi Wang Shi Qi Guoguo who will both chase from the hybrid blend. In the process of dissemination, the military often only focus on its main purpose, not entirely in the original sentence, so this version and the text version of the text on the interpretation of some discrepancies. It can not be used to deny the consistency of the two.
