Mainly, it is related to the ancient Chinese history of Chu and Han, and the two administrators are Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, and Liu Bang, the king of Han. Before defeating the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang had promised at Pengcheng that whoever entered Xianyang would also be the king of Guanzhong. At that time, Liu Bang attacked Xianyang first and Xiang Yu did not follow the promise between them, instead, he was ready to try to claim the throne by himself. Each of them had their own words, and in the end, they had to rely on war to take their respective powers.

From this moment on, the world was divided by a gap, with Han in the west and Chu in the east, which is often referred to as the "Chu-Han boundary". In one of the previous battles, Liu Bang once met Xiang Yu on impulse and was almost hit by the other bowman. Therefore, from this moment onwards, Liu Bang started to prevent a head-on conflict with Xiang Yu. This is the reason why marshals are not allowed to meet each other in chess.
