Why curse 250? What does 250 mean?

Usually in life, some simple-minded half-assed fools and people who make a fool of themselves are called "250".

This allusion comes from the Warring States Period: During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin who was a lobbyist. He owned six countries, once in power and made many enemies. But he was killed in the state of Qi, and the king of Qi was very angry. In order to find the murderer, the counselor gave the King of Qi a plan: cut off Su Qin's head and put it on the tower, and posted a notice: "Su Qin is a spy, and the murderer can get a reward of 2,000 yuan. Please come and get the reward as soon as possible. "

As soon as the announcement came out, four people claimed that they had killed Su Qin. The king of Qi said, "One thousand two hundred gold, four of you take it. How much can one person take?" All four people answered "A 250". Wang Qi Da Yue: Take all the four "250" out of the city gate and chop them! So the word "250" has been passed down to this day.

1, which originated from the story 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. 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 called them Wu Bai instead of Er Wu Bai.

So everyone calls it 250, and because everyone is holding a long pole, it is also called two shots. 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.

2. 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! "
