The origin of the two hundred and five, the origin of the two hundred and five A brief introduction

I can only sigh at the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture.

There are so many explanations for even such a common word.

I have my admiration for you.

The origin of the allusion is interesting.

Two hundred and five is a Chinese word, and the explanation is colloquialism. It often refers to people who are stupid, not very sensible, and stubborn and reckless.

1, from the "Left Biography" of "Two Five Coupling". In the Spring and Autumn Period, Li Ji, the concubine of Jin Xiangong, colluded with King Liang and King Dongguan to murder Prince Shen and his other sons in order to seize the throne for his son Xi Qi. At the time, people called it "two-five coupling".

The original meaning of "coupling" is that the two of them work side by side, which refers to the meaning of pun bi as a traitor. Later, the king of Liang and the king of Dongguan favored the power and supported the army to make a rebellion, and as a result, the king of Liang killed himself, the king of Dongguan was killed, and Li Ji also threw himself into the water and died, and the "two kings" were not allowed to die well. Later, "two hundred and five" evolved into a derogatory term.

2. Originated from a folk proverb. About 2,000 years ago, there was a folk proverb: "I only know twenty-five, but I don't know ten."

It appears frequently in pre-Qin literature. For example, "Historical Records: The Goujian Family of King Yue": "I know two or five but not ten..."It is to use someone who only knows that he has two and five fingers, but does not admit that he has ten fingers, to describe the naivety of King Goujian of Yue.

It's just that it's been too long, and it's been passed around and around, and now it's been passed down from "two to five" to "two hundred and five", so as to ridicule the kind of people who look at problems too stupidly or are not very smart.

3. "Two hundred and five", a common saying composed of numbers, originated from a story at the earliest, and is still circulated in Shaanxi. Legend has it that during the Warring States Period, Su Qin, who was wearing the seal of the Six Kingdoms, was assassinated. King Qi was very angry and wanted to avenge Su Qin, but it was difficult to find for a while.

So he came up with a clever plan - to make someone hang Su Qin's head at the city gate, and the book announced: Su Qin is a big traitor, and the assassin is for the Qi country to remove the great harm, and he should be rewarded with ** thousand taels! As soon as the notice came out, there were stupid stalls holding four men who claimed:

I'm waiting to kill the traitor Su Qin! "What is the evidence for the King of Qi? "Everyone made up a set of reasons to be anxious to receive the reward.

King Qi said: "True warriors! How do you divide a thousand taels**?

The crowd replied, "Forget it, two hundred and five for one person..."King Qi slapped the case and said angrily: "Push these four two hundred and five to behead!"

Since then, there has been a popular saying "two hundred and five" handed down.

1. Once upon a time, there was a talent who studied hard in order to gain fame and 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, so he was happy to have a noble son, and in his later years, he added a double ding to his knees. 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 been harmonious. 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 big one writes three hundred, and the small one writes two hundred. After Xiucai came back from the set, he asked how his second son was working at home, and his wife said: "Writing is writing, but the success is insufficient, and there are more than failures, both of which are two hundred and five!"

2, Su Qin was a lobbyist during the Warring States Period, he wore the seal of the Six Kingdoms, and he was very majestic for a while, but he also made a lot of enemies. Later, he was finally killed in the state of Qi, and 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 Tai's head cut off from the corpse and hang it on the city gate, with a post next to it

Su Qin is a traitor, kill him ** thousand taels, and hope to receive a reward. As soon as the list was posted, four people claimed that they had killed Su Qin. King Qi said:

This is not allowed to pretend! All four of them insisted that they had done it. King Qi said:

One thousand taels**, how much do the four of you get? Four in unison: "Two hundred and five for one person."

King Qi slapped the case and said angrily: "Come on, push out these four 'two hundred and five' and behead them!" The word "two hundred and five" has been handed down in this way.

Two hundred and five is a Chinese word, and the explanation is colloquialism. It often refers to people who are stupid and stupid, not very sensible and stubborn and reckless.
