Why is 250 swearing?

Pai Jiu has two boards and five cards, which together is the smallest and most useless combination. So people use "two boards and five" to refer to people who can't do anything well and can't manage it well. Because of the homophonic problem, it was slowly called "250".

People often call people who don't speak seriously, do things seriously, do things casually and make a fool of themselves as fools or "250". Then why is 250 a curse? Let's follow Bian Xiao to find out why.

Originated from Tupai gow.

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".

A story that originated in 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 thought of a way to cut off Su Qin's head from the body and hang it on the city gate, with a notice next to it saying, "Su Qin was a spy, and he killed him with 1,200 gold. I hope to get a reward. " 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 themselves. Qi Wang said, "1000 gold, how much does each of the four get?" Four people said in unison: "One person is 250." The king of Qi was furious and said, "Somebody, drag these four' 250' s out and behead them!" The word "250" was handed down in this way.

From the official position of 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. In front of the escorting beadle, official name is Wu Bai, holding a long pole, rushing to pioneer. Later, the number of "Wu Bai" increased to two, but Chang 'an people didn't call them two Wu Bai's, but called them * * * Wu Bai, so a single Wu Bai was dubbed as 250, and because each of them had a long pole in his hand, it was also called two shots. Today, two hundred and fifty and two poles are synonymous with recklessness, rudeness and rudeness.

A unit of monetary measurement that originated in China.

Originated from the famous arcade fighting game Street Fighter in the late 1980s.

Street fighter, a famous arcade fighting game, was popular in the late 1980s. If you win without being attacked, a male voice will say "You win, perfect" at the end of the game. Because the sound quality of arcade speakers is generally poor, "perfect" sounds very close to "250" in Changsha dialect. At that time, young gamers didn't have a high level of English and didn't understand the meaning of "perfection", so gamers often laughed at the players who were beaten by blood in their daily lives and played with others. They also liked to make "V" gestures and learn the sounds in street fighter games. Since then, it has gradually become popular and has become the meaning of today.

Originated from folklore

1. Once upon a time, there was a scholar who forgot to eat and sleep and studied hard in order to gain fame, but he never won the election in his life, and even his son was not born. 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! "

2. 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.

3. In ancient times, a pendant of money was the main unit of transaction, a *** 1000 copper coin. If you don't have enough money, say 500 yuan, you can't do anything. That's why it's called amateur. More than half, 250 yuan is even more impossible, so it is called 250.

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. Others say that he is at most half a hundred, so he is called "250".
