history
From 李白 Li Bai 《南陵别儿童入京》 (742 AD): 仰天大笑出门去，我辈岂是蓬蒿人 - 'I laughed to heaven and strode out the door: are we the kind to die among weeds?' Written when Emperor Xuanzong summoned him to the capital.
usage
Almost always paired with 仰天大笑出门去. 蓬蒿 literally = fleabane and mugwort, i.e. common weeds, used figuratively for 'obscurity / commoner life.' 岂 = 'how could,' a classical rhetorical particle.
