Who invented China chess?

According to ancient legends in China, chess was invented by Shun. Shun's younger brother was very bad and tried to kill Shun several times (as recorded in Mencius). Later, Shun imprisoned him, fearing that he would be lonely, so he played chess for his entertainment. The word "Xiang" in chess represents Shun's younger brother. This legend has been proved to be unreliable, but according to some textual research by Wang Guowei, Mr. Chang can infer the route of the introduction of chess into China from this legend. He believes that the elephant is not Shun's brother, but the leader of the elephant-producing areas in southern China (such as Myanmar). Xiang and Shun once formed an alliance of brothers and defeated other nationalities, but later they clashed. Probably. Chess was introduced to China from India through Thailand and Myanmar.
