Origin Story

话说唐朝时期，有个名叫李白的诗人，他不仅诗写得好，而且为人豁达，谈吐不凡。一次，他与友人一起游览名胜古迹，在一座古老的寺庙里，他们看到一幅画，画上是一个身披铠甲的武将。李白的友人指着画问道："这武将是谁？"李白看了看，不假思索地答道："此乃关羽也。"友人又问："何以见得？"李白笑了笑，只说了一句："观其容貌，便知其人。"友人听后，恍然大悟，连连称赞李白一语破的，真乃慧眼识珠。这幅画的武将，确实与关羽有几分神似，但李白的这一句话，更像是直击人心，一下子便揭示了画中人物的身份。

During the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Li Bai who was not only a gifted poet but also a man of great insight and eloquent speech. Once, while touring historical sites with a friend, they came across a painting in an old temple. The painting depicted a general in armor. Li Bai's friend pointed to the painting and asked, "Who is this general?" Li Bai glanced at it and replied without hesitation, "This is Guan Yu." His friend asked, "How do you know?" Li Bai smiled and simply said, "One can tell by his appearance." His friend immediately understood and praised Li Bai for his insightful observation.
