CommentGoogle gets 280k hits. Perhaps the meaning is obvious, but the potential for different readings for "各" plagues the novice. Dictionaries do not seem to give the expression in any complete sense, but fortunately one comes to your site and there is a clue in the RH. Why not complete this much used term by adding the description and promote it?

The [A] search also gives a clue to the meaning.
