The origin of 250

During the Warring States Period, there was a historical figure named Su Qin, who was a strategist. He persuaded the six countries of Korea, Wei, Zhao, Qi, Yan and Chu to unite and form an alliance against the enemy of the same country, Qin, which was appreciated by the great king and was named as the prime minister, which was called "the six countries sealed each other" in history.

When Su Qin played an active role in Qi, he met an assassin. Su Qin was stabbed in the chest and died that night. The King of Qi was very angry after hearing the news and immediately ordered the murderer to be caught. But the assassin has escaped without a trace. Where can he catch him?

The King of Qi had a brainwave and came up with a clever plan to lure the snake out of the hole. He ordered Su Qin's head to be cut off, and his body was whipped with a whip, so that his head was covered with blood. Then he hung his bloody head at the city gate and posted a yellow list, which read: "Su Qin was a big spy and deserved to die. The king of Qi always wanted to kill him, but he didn't think of any good way. Fortunately, he did it.

As soon as this list came out, someone took the bait. Four people came to receive the reward, all insisting that Su Qin killed himself.

So the soldiers "invited" them to see the king of Qi. The King of Qi gnashed his teeth when he saw the four of them. But he still solemnly asked: "How to divide this 1200 gold?"

These four people didn't know that they had been cheated, but they immediately replied happily: "This is easy to handle,1000 ÷ 4 = 250,250."

After listening to this, the King of Qi was still thinking about the reward in high spirits and was furious: "Push these four 250 out and behead them!"

These four men became scapegoats and were killed. The real assassin, said to be a killer sent by the State of Qin, has fled back to the State of Qin.

Since then, the folk have left a saying of 250, which is often used to describe fools and idiots.

The origin of "250" People in China often call people who are not serious in speaking, doing things seriously, doing things casually and making a fool of themselves. According to research, there are roughly the following possible sources:

1 originated from the story of the Warring States Period. During the Warring States Period, there was a lobbyist named Su Qin, who was impressed by the Six Kingdoms. He was very powerful at that time, but he also made many enemies. Later, he was finally killed in Qi State. The King of Qi was very angry and wanted to avenge Su Qin, but he couldn't find the murderer at the moment, so he came up with a plan to cut Tai Su's head off from the body and hang it on the city gate, and a placard was posted next to it, which read: "Su Qin is an insider and hopes to get a reward for killing him." As soon as the poster was put up, four people claimed to have killed Su Qin themselves. Qi Wang said: "This is not allowed to be faked!" All four insisted that they did it. The king of Qi said, "One thousand two hundred gold, how much do you four get each?" The four people said in unison: "One person is 250." The king of Qi was furious and said, "Somebody, push these four' 250s' out and behead them!" The word "250" was handed down in this way.

2. Stories from the Tang Dynasty. The "mayor" scene in Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty was very powerful, and there was a huge ceremonial team when going on patrol. The official name of the small official escorting the way in front is "Drinking Wu Bai", with a long pole in his hand, driving the pioneers. Later, Wu Bai was added as two people, but Chang 'an people did not call them Er Wu Bai's. But that they are * * * of Wu Bai, so everyone calls them two hundred and fifty, and because everyone has a long pole in his hand, they are also called Er Ganzi. This shows that Chang 'an people dislike officials who abuse power for personal gain. Today, two hundred and fifty and two Ganzi have become synonymous with reckless, rude and rude people.

3. From folklore. Once upon a time, there was a scholar who forgot to eat, sleep and study hard in order to gain fame, but he never won a prize in his life and even had no son. In his later years, the old scholar was finally disheartened and indifferent to fame and fortune. Instead, I was very satisfied with my son and added two talents. The scholar recalled the success or failure of his life and couldn't help feeling deeply, so he named his two sons: one was success and the other was failure. From then on, the scholar studied behind closed doors at home and lived happily. One day, the scholar told his wife, "I'm going to the market." You urge your second son to write at home. The eldest son writes 300, and the youngest son writes 200. " After the scholar came back from the fair, he asked his second son how to study hard at home. The old lady replied, "I wrote it, but it's not enough. It's more than enough. Both of them are 250! "

4, from the push to the nine. Pai Jiu is a gambling tool, which consists of two cards, namely "Baner" (four points) and "Wu Yao" (six points). These two cards together form ten points, which is called "shooting ten" in the gambling activities of pushing Pai Jiu. It is the smallest point in the ninth row, and anyone is bigger than it. It can't "eat" any cards, so later people used the word "Banerwu" (short for "He") to refer to those who can't do anything well and can't control anything. After a long time, I will call "two boards and five" "two hundred and fifty". In Hong Kong, it is also customarily called "Erwuzai".

A Chinese book in a middle school says that ancient people used silver in two parts. Generally speaking, 520 is an integer unit, wrapped in paper. At that time, 520 was a "letter" and 252 was a "half-sealed" silver. Because it was homophonic with "semi-crazy", people later called the madman "250".

6. Once upon a time, there was a fool whose family was in decline. One day, he went to sell a family heirloom, which said "sold 258 Liang". As a result, when he sold it, someone bargained with him. If he wanted it, he gave 250 taels and sold 250 taels of gold. Many people laughed at him for missing eight taels of gold and being an idiot. Since then, people have called people who are confused about things 250.

7. In modern times, it is said that some people learn the songs of the singer Wu Bai, but they can't learn them at all. People say he's half a hundred at most-
