"爭鳴(to contend)", 曹全堂(author name)作(write/produce)
"爭鳴" was taken out from the idiom "百家争鸣[bǎi jiā zhēng míng]" - a hundred schools of thought contend (idiom); refers to the classical philosophic schools of the Warring States period 475-221 BC.
爭鳴 (compete to sing aloud) is the title,
百鳥爭嗚 (hundreds of birds compete to sing aloud) is a metaphor for "All different thinkings and opinions are freely expressed"
百鳥爭鳴，漢語成語，拼音是bǎi niǎo zhēng míng，意思是千百種鳥一起鳴唱。出自《漢書·藝文志》。
曹全堂 (Cao Quantang) is the author
