It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Li Bai who often gathered with his friends to drink and write poetry. Once, Li Bai and his friends gathered at a restaurant in Chang'an. During the banquet, they discussed an important matter: how to help a poor villager. Everyone expressed their opinions, some suggesting donations, some suggesting providing food, and others suggesting helping him find a job. They argued endlessly and could not reach a consensus. At this time, Li Bai slapped the table and said loudly, “Let's do it this way!” Then, everyone immediately stopped arguing, and Li Bai's idea was approved by everyone. They reached an agreement and decided to follow Li Bai's plan. In the end, they successfully helped the poor villager.
