Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，一位著名的学者李白，在一次诗会上与众多文人雅士共同探讨诗歌创作。大家七嘴八舌，各抒己见，对同一首诗的理解和评价，竟是言人人殊，莫衷一是。有人认为诗中蕴含着深刻的哲理，有人则认为诗意浅显，缺乏韵味。李白听后，微微一笑，并没有发表自己的看法，而是提议大家各自创作一首诗，以表达自己的理解和感受。结果，每位文人的诗作风格迥异，表达的思想感情也大相径庭，这更加印证了“言人人殊”的道理。
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, a famous scholar, was at a poetry gathering discussing poem creation with many other scholars and refined people. Everyone spoke freely, expressing their opinions. Their understanding and evaluations of the same poem were completely different; no one had the same opinion. Some thought the poem contained deep philosophical meaning; others thought the meaning was shallow and lacked elegance. Li Bai listened, smiled subtly, and did not express his own opinion. Instead, he suggested everyone create their own poem expressing their understanding and feelings. As a result, each scholar's poem had a very different style, with different emotions and thoughts expressed. This further proved the idea of "everyone speaking differently."
