Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，有个名叫李白的诗人，他性情豪放，才华横溢。一日，他在一家酒楼饮酒作诗，兴致正浓，突然听到楼下传来一阵喧嚣。原来，一群官吏正在欺压百姓，百姓们叫苦不迭。李白闻之，义愤填膺，再也无法平静地作诗。他猛地一拍桌子，站起身来，怒发冲冠，冲下楼去，为民请命，痛斥那些贪官污吏。他的举动，震慑了那些为非作歹的官员，也赢得了百姓们的一致赞扬。从此，‘拍案而起’便成了一个家喻户晓的成语，用来形容人们因愤怒而猛地站起来的举动。
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Li Bai, known for his unrestrained nature and extraordinary talent. One day, while drinking and composing poetry in a tavern, he suddenly heard a commotion downstairs. It turned out that a group of officials were oppressing the common people, who were crying bitterly. Li Bai, filled with righteous indignation, couldn't compose poetry calmly anymore. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, his hair standing on end, and rushed downstairs to plead for the people, denouncing the corrupt officials. His actions shocked the officials and earned him the praise of the people. Since then, 'pāi àn ér qǐ' has become a common idiom used to describe someone suddenly standing up in anger.
