俗话说，楚汉相争，寸步不让
Definition
楚汉相争，寸步不让
Literally means:
the kingdoms of Chu and Han were in fight and neither side would yield an inch of land to the other
Actually means:
楚汉相争 means Xiang Yu (from the kingdom of Chu) and Liu Bang (from the kingdom of Han) led their respective military troops to fight against each other for the national sovereignty after the kingdom of Qin collapsed.
This phrase originally means two political factions fight for the sovereignty and would not give in even an inch of land. It figuratively means two fighting sides would not give in to each other to the least.
楚汉相争，项羽（楚）和刘邦（汉）为首的两个军事集团在秦朝灭亡后为争夺政权而进行战争。
原指两派争夺政权，一点儿土地也要力争。比喻争斗双方毫不妥协，一点都不让步。
