Definition in Chinese
由汉字“一、二、三”连续书写，表示顺序的三个最小自然数；可用于计数、举例，也常作为简单密码或口令，借指很容易的事。yóu hàn zì yī èr sān lián xù shū xiě biǎo shì shùn xù de sān gè zuì xiǎo zì rán shù kě yòng yú jì shù jǔ lì yě cháng zuò wéi jiǎn dān mì mǎ huò kǒu lìng jiè zhǐ hěn róng yì de shì
Word origin
一 (yī, "one") + 二 (èr, "two") + 三 (sān, "three") simply writes the first three counting numbers in sequence, so the pattern naturally suggests order and ease.
Usage tips
- For account security, 一二三 (yīèrsān, "one two three") is a poor password because common-guess lists can contain it.
