Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，诗人司空图游历山水，对大自然充满赞美，他在《诗品》中写道："俯拾即是，不取诸邻。"意思是说，美丽的诗句就像地上的石头一样多，随处可见，根本不用费力去寻找。一日，司空图漫步在田野里，微风习习，阳光明媚，他看到农民们正在辛勤劳作，金灿灿的稻穗随风摇曳，一片丰收的景象。他想起自己写的诗句，不禁感叹道：这美丽的景象，这丰收的景象，俯拾皆是，到处都是啊！于是他情不自禁地吟诵起一首诗来，歌颂这美好的景象。后来，人们就用“俯拾皆是”来形容多而易得的事物。
It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, the poet Sikong Tu traveled through mountains and rivers, full of praise for nature. In his "Poetry Quality", he wrote: "俯拾即是，不取诸邻." It means that beautiful poetic lines are as numerous as stones on the ground, visible everywhere, and there is no need to search hard for them. One day, Sikong Tu was walking in the fields. A gentle breeze was blowing, and the sun was shining brightly. He saw the farmers working hard, the golden rice ears swaying in the wind, a scene of harvest. He remembered the lines he had written and couldn't help but sigh: This beautiful scenery, this harvest, is everywhere! So he spontaneously recited a poem to celebrate this beautiful scene. Later, people used "俯拾皆是" to describe things that are abundant and easily obtained.
