Ask for advice on the origin of "no matter what" [folk tradition]

This idiom is often used, but it comes from an old joke.

It is said that once upon a time there was a big family headed by Li Yuan. One year, Li Yuan hired a long-term worker with five big and three thick to work at home. When the long-term worker first came, Li Yuan's wife said, "You take care of him three times a day! Lest he be lazy in the toilet. " His wife obeyed, and the long-term workers had three bowls of dry rice for each meal. When they got to work, one person could use it twice.

10 days later, Li Yuan said to his wife, "This long-term worker looks like a fool. Although he works hard, he eats too much! Eat hundreds of pounds of our grain a year! From today, you take care of him three times a day! " His wife did it again. Long-term workers eat seven bowls of porridge every meal, and their work is weaker than that of weak women. Seeing that weeds in rice fields are growing fiercely, if we don't pay close attention to weeding, we will reduce production. Li Yuanru was very angry because he wanted to hire another short-term worker and was reluctant to spend money on food. One day at dinner, Li Yuan asked the long-term worker, "You eat my 372 1 bowl of rice a day, why don't you work like a man?" I saw the long-term worker knocking on the bowl with chopsticks and singing: "Dry, dry, eat nine bowls of rice a day, covered in hair, sneezing over the mountain!" " Sparse, 372 1, urogram

When it rains, my feet are soft as mud. I am in a hurry and have no strength; What good are you worried about? "

After hearing this, Li Yuan thought for a long time and said to his wife in front of the long-term workers, "From today on, take care of his 339 bowls of dry food, regardless of his 372 1 bowl." His wife did it again. That long-term worker can fuck two people with one person.

The story spread gradually and was regarded as a joke by people. At the beginning, people called changing wrong ideas "regardless of the willy-nilly". Later, its meaning gradually extended, regardless of good or bad, regardless of right or wrong words and deeds, also known as "regardless."
