Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，有个叫李白的诗人，有一天他去拜访一位朋友，朋友对他的一些诗词颇有微词，指责他诗风过于豪放，缺乏精细。李白听了很不高兴，便反唇相稽，说朋友的诗词过于拘谨，缺乏豪迈之气，两人就此争论不休。后来，李白写了一首诗，用诗词来反驳朋友的批评，这场争论才得以结束。
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Li Bai. One day, he visited a friend who criticized his poems for being too unrestrained and lacking finesse. Li Bai was unhappy and retorted that his friend's poems were too rigid and lacked grandeur. A long argument ensued, only ending when Li Bai wrote a poem to refute his friend's criticism.
