Why use two hundred and five to slander people and not three hundred and five?

People often refer to those who speak and act in a foreign way or those who are not very sober in doing things as "two hundred and five", do you know the origin of this colloquial language?

Legend has it that during the Warring States period more than 2,000 years ago, there was a great person named Su Qin, who once wore the seal of the Six Kingdoms and was a veteran of several dynasties, but he was suddenly killed for some reason.

King Qi was very angry when he learned that Su Qin was killed, and he was determined to arrest ** and avenge Su Qin, but his subordinates had no results in many investigations, and he was very anxious. Suddenly, one day he had an idea and thought of a plan. He ordered Su Qin's head to be cut off from the corpse left and right, hung it on the city gate, and then posted a bounty list underneath.

The list reads: Su Qin is a traitor, killing him is a great harm for our Qi country, and we should be rewarded with ** thousand taels, and I hope that the strong man who will get rid of the traitor will come to receive the reward.

As soon as Bangwen was on the wall, four people came to him, claiming that he had killed him with his own hands, and asked for a reward.

King Qi met with these four men and said with a smile: "You are not allowed to pretend!" ”

These four people insisted that they did it themselves, and said in unison: "Please check the king!" ”

King Qi nodded and said loudly, "You four are real 'warriors'!" 1000 taels**, how much do you each of the four of you get? ”

The four men replied in unison, "Two hundred and five each." ”

King Qi "snapped" at this time, and said angrily: "Come on, push out these 4 'two hundred and five' and behead them!" ”

Later, people called those foolish worms with missing strings in their brains "two hundred and five".

It's like why a tiger is called a tiger and not a lion.

<> Statement 1: Originated from the story of the Warring States Period.

During the Warring States period, there was a lobbyist named Su Qin, who wore the seal of the Six Kingdoms, and was very majestic for a while, but he also made a lot of enemies, and was finally killed in the Qi State. The king of Qi was very angry and wanted to avenge Su Qin, but he couldn't get ** for a while, so he thought of a plan to have Su Qin's head cut off from the corpse and hang it on the city gate, with a post next to him saying: "Su Qin is a traitor, kill him ** thousand taels, hope to receive the reward."

As soon as the list was posted, 4 people claimed that Qi Changdu killed Su Qin by himself. King Qi said: "This is not allowed to pretend!"

The four of them all insisted that they did it themselves. King Qi said: "1000 taels**, how much do you each get for each of the four of you?"

4 people shouted in unison: "Two hundred and five for one person." King Qi said angrily

Come on, push out these 4 'two hundred and five' and cut them off! The word "two hundred and five" has been handed down in this way.

Myth 2: Originated from folklore.

Once upon a time, there was a showman who forgot to sleep and eat and studied hard in order to gain fame, but he never won the lift in his life, and he didn't even have a son. In his later years, Lao Xiucai was finally disheartened and indifferent to fame and fortune, but he was happy with his noble son and added a double high-core Ding. Xiucai recalled the failure of his life, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, so he named his two sons:

One is called success, and the other is called failure. Since then, Xiucai has been studying at home behind closed doors, and his life has passed quickly, and he has done happily. One day, Xiucai instructed his wife:

I'm going to go to the bazaar, and you urge your second son to write at home, the eldest son to write three hundred, and the younger son to write two hundred. After Xiucai came back from the market, he asked how his second son was working at home, and the old wife said: "Writing is writing, but the success is insufficient, and there are more than failures, both of which are two hundred and five!"

> Statement 3: From the official position of the Tang Dynasty.

Jing Zhaoyin, the "mayor" of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, was very powerful, and there was a huge guard of honor when he went out on patrol. The little official who opened the road at the front was originally a person, and the official name was Wu Bai, who held a long rod in his hand to drive away passers-by. Later, Wu Bai was increased to two, but the people of Chang'an did not call them two Wu Bai, but called them Wu Bai together, so a single Wu Bai was jokingly called two hundred and five, and because each of them held a long pole in his hand, they were also called two poles.

Today, two hundred and five and two poles are synonymous with reckless, rude, and rude people.
