We usually use many sayings in our lives, but the origins behind these sayings are rarely known. For example, we often use a word in our lives to describe other people's stupid heads and stupid brains, "two hundred and five", this word is actually behind the historical legends and allusions. The term dates back to the Warring States period.
During the Warring States period, there was a famous Zongheng family named Su Qin. He persuaded the six kingdoms at that time to form an alliance and intended to boycott the common enemy, the Qin state. However, this proposition of his led to the death of himself, and while he was serving the State of Qi, he was attacked by assassins and unfortunately died. When King Qi learned of this, he ordered the assassins to be captured. However, the Assassin had been professionally trained and had long since escaped without a trace.
King Qi then thought of a trick to lure the Assassins into appearing in another way. The King of Qi ordered that Su Qin's body be whipped covered in blood, hung on the city gate, and a yellow list was posted, which read: "Su Qin is an internal traitor, and there is more than enough to die, and the King of Qi has always wanted to get rid of him, thanks to this warrior's help, to eliminate harm for the people, and to please people's hearts." Now the king of Qi ordered a heavy reward, rewarding the golden thousand taels, and invited the warriors to come and receive the reward. ”
So some people really saw Huang Bang coming to receive the reward, and there was more than one person who came to ask for the reward, and four people personally said that they were the warriors who killed Su Qin. However, in this case, either one of them is the murderer or neither. King Qi looked at these people who did not hesitate to lie for the bounty, and although he was very angry, he still did not have a seizure, and still said, "Then how will this thousand and two pieces of gold be distributed to you?" These four people were obviously not real murderers, and since they could still say, "This is easy to do, divide this thousand and two gold into four parts, and one person can do two hundred and five." When the King of Qi saw their reply, he was even more angry, so he ordered that all four "two hundred and five" be executed.
These four people foolishly fell into the trap for the bounty, and gave their lives. Therefore, later generations used "two hundred and five" to describe fools, fools, and people who were confused by wealth. Of course, there is also an allusion, derived from folklore, which everyone can also understand.
Once upon a time, there was a showman who forgot to eat and sleep in order to get a meritorious name, and refused to rest every day from day to night. However, there is a heart to plant flowers and flowers, and this show has been reading hard for most of his life and has not yet achieved a good result. So he gave up the pursuit of fame and turned his mind to his personal life. This show only reached the end of his life, and he was happy with his second son, and he couldn't help but sigh the success or failure of his life. So the eldest son was named Chengshi, and the younger son was named Failure. Since then, he has cultivated his two sons and taught them to read and write.
Xiucai went out to catch up with the market and instructed his two sons to write three hundred words for the eldest son and two hundred words for the younger son at home. And this eldest son likes to be lazy, so he wrote fifty words less, and asked his brother to write fifty more words to fill himself. When Xiu Cai returned home and asked his wife about the writing of his two sons, the wife said: "There are more than enough things to accomplish and more than two hundred and five." The meaning of this sentence is that the eldest son did not write enough words, and the younger son wrote more, and both men wrote two hundred and fifty words.
And this sentence was also widely circulated in the end, "there is more than enough to accomplish things and more than enough failures" is used to describe a person's unstable work, and "two hundred and five" is also used to describe a person unreliable. These words eventually evolved into colloquialisms, becoming spoken languages that we often use in our daily lives.
