Being an official because of Go (Eastern Han Dynasty)
There was an emperor in the Han Dynasty named Liu Xun. When he was not the emperor, he liked to play Go very much. Liu Xun had a man named Chen Sui who always played chess with him when he had nothing to do. Liu Xun was not as good at chess as Chen Sui, so he always lost to him. So Liu Xun said to Chen Sui: "I always lose to you in chess. I owe you a lot of gambling debt, and I will definitely pay it back to you in the future."
Later, when Liu Xunzhen became the emperor, he made Chen Sui the governor of Taiyuan, and issued an edict seriously: "I accept your appointment as the governor of Taiyuan. You will have a high salary and a good salary, so you can repay the past." The debt you owe to Go. Your wife and others can testify." In this way, Chen Sui became the first person in history to be promoted to an official because of Go, leaving a good story in the history of Chinese Go.
