In daily life, people often call fools or people who speak rudely, do things carelessly, act casually, and like to make a fool of themselves as "two hundred and five".
One theory comes from the story of the Warring States Period. Su Qin was a lobbyist during the Warring States Period. He wore the seal of the Six Kingdoms and was very majestic for a while, 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 for a while, so he came up with a plan to have Su Tai's head cut off from the body and hung on the city gate. Next to it was an inscription saying: "Su Qin is a traitor, kill him." Thousand taels of gold, come and claim the reward." As soon as the announcement was posted, four people claimed that they had killed Su Qin. King Qi said, "You are not allowed to pretend!" The four men insisted that they had done it. King Qi said: "One thousand taels of gold, how much will the four of you get?" The four replied in unison: "Two hundred and five for each person." King Qi slapped the table and said angrily: "Come here, push out these four 'two hundred and five' Beheaded!" The word "two hundred and five" has been passed down like this.
Another way of saying it has something to do with pushing Pai Gow.
It turns out that there are two cards in Pai Gow (an old gambling device): "Er Ban" (four points) and "Mo Wu" (six points). These two cards are matched together to make ten. This point is called "ten ten" in the gambling activity of pushing Pai Gow. It is the smallest dot in Pai Gow. No one is bigger than it. It cannot "eat" any tiles, so people use the word "Er Ban Wu" (abbreviation of Er Ban and Mo Wu) to jokingly refer to it as being able to do anything. People who can't be controlled even if they are not good. As time went by, the "two board five" became "two hundred five". In Hong Kong, it is customary to call them "two or five boys".
One more thing: Jing Zhaoyin, the "mayor" of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, was very powerful and had a huge honor guard when he went out on patrol. The official who opened the way at the front was originally a member of the public, his official name was Hedao Wubai. He held a long pole in his hand to drive away passers-by. Later, the number of people shouting Wu Bai increased to two, but the people in Chang'an did not call them two Wu Bai. Instead, they said they were *** and called Wu Bai, so each person was called two hundred and five, and because each of them held a long pole in their hands. , so they are also called Ershazi. Today, two hundred five and two stalks are synonymous with reckless, rude, and rude people, which illustrates the people's aversion to domineering officials in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.
There is another saying: Once upon a time, there was a scholar who studied hard and sleepless nights in order to obtain fame, but he never passed the exam in his life and did not even have a son.
In his later years, the old scholar finally became disheartened and indifferent to fame and fortune, so he was blessed with a son, and in his later years he had two daughters.
The scholar couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he recalled his life's successes and failures, so he named his two sons: one was called Chengshi and the other was called Banshi.
From then on, the scholar taught classes behind closed doors at home and lived a harmonious life.
One day, the scholar told his wife: "I'm going to the market for a walk. You can supervise the two sons to write at home. The older one should write three hundred and the younger one should write two hundred."
After the scholar came back from the market, he asked his second son how he was studying at home. His wife replied: "I have written, but it is not enough for success and more than failure. Both of them are two hundred and five!"
A wealthy bachelor or a family member The Chinese are relatively rich, and many people in Hong Kong and Taiwan call them Diamond Kings!

"Wang Lao Wu" is a folk saying, specifically referring to a man without a family. The origin is unknown. I only remember a nursery rhyme: "Wang Lao Wu, life is really hard." "My pants are torn and there is no one to mend them" - maybe this is where it comes from.
Wanglaowu who don’t have their pants patched are considered “trash”. Ladies who love cleanliness are afraid of getting their hands dirty, so they avoid them. However, many Wanglaowu launched today are “diamonds”. "level, so that there is a grand occasion where vain ladies flock to him. That nursery rhyme should probably be changed to - "Wang Lao Wu, your life is so good. If your pants are torn, rush to mend them." However, Diamond Wang Lao Wu's pants will never be torn. It's not that they don't give ladies a chance to show off, but that they don't give ladies a chance to show off. They are so rich that they have no shortage of pants, and they are also so famous and handsome.
The "Diamond King" can be called a specimen showroom for perfect men, a dream team of male hairless bipeds. They have been spoiled by the world and women, so they have a high self-esteem and are waiting for a price. And sell.
Most of the "Diamond Kings" attach great importance to the balance of the family. They do not require the other party to be beautiful or smart. They only need to be gentle, kind, and preferably a little unpretentious and innocent, and can The wifely, maternal and childlike natures are perfectly integrated into one. They don't like complicated and calculating people, and they are even more disgusted with women who are beautiful but just want to marry a rich man and have a good life.
“Establish a career first, then start a family” is a concept that these “young people” agree with, but when they have an extraordinary career, they dare not get married. Even though the "Diamond Kings" are successful in their careers, they still choose the lifestyle of "only falling in love but not getting married". Such de facto marriages sometimes even last a lifetime. Some people are still unwilling to get married even after raising several children together.
In fact, they do not lack love and passion. For them, as long as they are willing, there is definitely no shortage of girlfriends around them. Cohabitation is also relatively common, and relationships are not blank. Because they do not need marriage to realize their self-worth, they will treat marriage with more ideal elements and pursue perfection and authenticity even to the point of harshness. Even if they get married, many people will try to marry someone of the same class to avoid being "surprised" by "gold-digging ladies."
There are many reasons why "diamond kings" do not want to get married or dare not get married. For many young "upstarts", the main reason for fear of getting married is fear of divorce. A very real problem is that they are wary that property disputes during divorce may cause the wealth they have accumulated over the years to be wasted.
