Origin Story
话说唐朝诗人李白，一日游历山水，来到一处山清水秀的瀑布前，他被这壮丽的景色所震撼，一时兴起，便提笔写下了一首诗。写完后，他满意地将诗稿掷在地上，只听“咚”的一声，诗稿落地的声音清脆响亮，仿佛金石之声，在场的人都惊叹不已。这便是“掷地有声”的由来，形容李白的诗句如同这瀑布般气势磅礴，震撼人心，令人印象深刻。
It is said that the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, one day while traveling through the mountains and rivers, came to a beautiful waterfall. He was so moved by the magnificent scenery that he spontaneously began to write a poem. After finishing, he contentedly threw the manuscript to the ground. A loud "dong" echoed through the air as the manuscript landed – as clear and resonant as the sound of gold and stone. Everyone present was astonished. This is the origin of the idiom "zhì dì yǒu shēng" (掷地有声), which describes how Li Bai's poems are as magnificent, moving, and memorable as this waterfall.
