Origin Story

唐代诗人王勃，才华横溢，写下了许多脍炙人口的诗篇。一次，他奉命前往交趾探望父亲，路过洪州，恰逢重阳节，洪州都督阎伯屿设宴款待他。王勃兴致勃勃，挥笔写下了著名的《滕王阁序》。序文中，他写道：“物华天宝，龙光射斗牛之墟，人杰地灵，徐孺下陈蕃之榻。”这句话的意思是说，洪州物产丰富，人杰地灵，人才辈出。这正是“地灵人杰”的最好写照。

Wang Bo, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was extremely talented and wrote many popular poems. Once, he was ordered to visit his father in Jiaozhi and passed through Hongzhou, where he happened to meet the Chongyang Festival. Yan Boyu, the governor of Hongzhou, gave him a banquet. Wang Bo was excited and wrote the famous "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion". In the preface, he wrote: "The riches of nature, the dragon light illuminates the realm of the stars and the ox, talented people and fertile land, Xu Ru sits beneath Chen Fan's bed." The sentence means that Hongzhou is rich in resources and talent. This is the best portrayal of "Di Ling Ren Jie."
