Origin Story

话说唐朝时期，一位名叫李白的诗仙，才华横溢，名扬天下。他写的诗歌，字字珠玑，句句经典，深受人们的喜爱。每当李白在长安城里出现，总能吸引无数文人墨客前来拜访，他们争先恐后地向李白请教诗词创作的技巧，并将他奉为偶像，如同众星捧月一般。李白谦虚而低调，从不恃才傲物。但他对诗歌的创作却一丝不苟，精益求精。他常说，诗歌是艺术的结晶，要用心去创作，才能打动人心。他的诗歌也因此成为了千古流传的名篇。有一次，李白受皇帝之邀参加宫廷宴会。宴会之上，群臣们都对李白赞赏有加，他的才华获得了皇帝和群臣的一致认可。即使是平时与李白有些隔阂的官员，也在宴会上对他赞不绝口，这种场景，更像众星捧月，令人叹为观止。后来，“众星捧月”这个成语便流传开来，用来比喻许多人拥护、尊敬一个人。

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a talented poet named Li Bai, whose works were widely admired. Every time he appeared in Chang'an, countless scholars would come to visit, showering him with praise and respect, just like stars surrounding the moon. Despite his humility, Li Bai was meticulous in his poetic pursuits, constantly striving for perfection. He often said that poetry is the essence of art and it must be created wholeheartedly to move people. One time, Emperor Xuanzong invited him to a palace banquet, during which his talent earned him widespread praise and admiration. This scene where numerous officials surrounded and celebrated Li Bai perfectly embodies the idiom, "众星捧月", which is now used to describe many people admiring and supporting one person.
