Tips
history
From 刘禹锡's Tang classical essay 《陋室铭》 (Inscription for a Humble Room): 谈笑有鸿儒，往来无白丁. 白丁 is an uneducated commoner, originally a man of humble rank with no official posting. A standard middle-school text.
usage
Always paired with 谈笑有鸿儒. 白丁 is archaic and literary, so modern readers need a gloss. Used to praise an intellectually distinguished gathering, sometimes wryly to mock snobbery.
