Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，一位名叫李白的诗人，一日在宫中为皇帝作诗，皇帝却对他的诗作不甚满意，并对李白的诗中的一些用词颇为不满。李白见此情景，心中甚是不悦。他不愿与皇帝争论，便拂袖而去。他走后，皇帝觉得很后悔，因为李白的才华横溢，深受人们敬仰，他本想用言语来羞辱李白，却不想适得其反。李白拂袖而去，这其中包含着一种傲骨和不畏强权的自信。
In Tang Dynasty, there was a famous poet named Li Bai. One day, he wrote a poem for the emperor, but the emperor was not satisfied with it and criticized some of the words. Li Bai was very angry. Instead of arguing with the emperor, he left the palace angrily. After he left, the emperor regretted his decision, he realized the great value of Li Bai's talent. The emperor actually wanted to humiliate Li Bai, but it turned out otherwise. Li Bai's departure with a fling of his sleeve showed pride and self-confidence.
