Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，两位著名的书法家，怀素和颜真卿，一起欣赏一幅字画。怀素以其奔放洒脱的风格见长，而颜真卿则以其端庄凝重的笔法著称。两人对这幅字画的评价截然不同。怀素赞赏其豪迈的气势，而颜真卿则认为其过于随意，欠缺严谨。两人各抒己见，争论不休，最终都认为自己的观点才是正确的，体现了仁者见仁，智者见智的道理。
During the Tang Dynasty, two famous calligraphers, Huai Su and Yan Zhenqing, were appreciating a piece of artwork. Huai Su was known for his unrestrained and free style, while Yan Zhenqing was known for his dignified and solemn brushwork. The two had very different opinions on this artwork. Huai Su praised its bold style, while Yan Zhenqing thought it was too casual and lacked rigor. Each expressed their opinions, arguing without reaching a consensus, both believing their perspective to be correct, thus illustrating the concept of "rén zhě jiàn rén, zhì zhě jiàn zhì."
