Origin Story

话说唐朝时期,一位名叫李白的诗人,因思念故乡而悲痛欲绝。他独自一人坐在江边,望着滚滚东流的江水,心中充满了无尽的乡愁。他想起家乡的山水,想起家乡的人们,想起家乡的一草一木,不禁泪流满面。他想要吟诗抒发自己的情感,但悲伤过度,竟无法言语,只能用哽咽的声音和滚滚的泪水来表达心中的痛楚。他声泪俱发,悲痛至极,令人动容。他那声泪俱发的模样,深深地打动了在场的每一个人。后来,人们将“声泪俱发”这个词语用来形容极其悲痛的情景。

huà shuō táng cháo shí qī, yī wèi míng jiào lǐ bái de shī rén, yīn sī niàn gù xiāng ér bēi tòng yù jué

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Li Bai who was overcome with grief and longing for his hometown. He sat alone by the river, gazing at the flowing water, his heart filled with endless homesickness. He thought of the mountains and rivers of his home, the people, every plant and tree, and tears welled up in his eyes. He tried to compose a poem to express his emotions but his sorrow was so profound that he could only speak in choked sobs, his tears flowing freely. His heart-wrenching display of grief moved everyone present. Later, people used the term "Shēnglèi jùfā" to describe a scene of extreme sorrow.
