Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，一位名叫李白的诗人，游历到华山脚下，仰望那高耸入云的山峰，气势磅礴，令人叹为观止。他心中充满了好奇，决定攀登华山，一览众山小。于是，他踏上了崎岖的山路，历尽千辛万苦，终于到达了华山之巅。站在山顶，极目远眺，群山峻岭、河流湖泊尽收眼底，壮丽景色一览无余。李白不禁豪情万丈，挥笔写下了千古名句：‘欲穷千里目，更上一层楼’。
It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, a poet named Li Bai traveled to the foot of Mount Hua and looked up at the towering peaks, which were magnificent and breathtaking. He was filled with curiosity and decided to climb Mount Hua to overlook all the other mountains. He embarked on a rugged mountain path, overcoming many hardships, and finally reached the top of Mount Hua. Standing on the summit, he gazed far into the distance, and all the mountains, rivers, and lakes were within sight. The magnificent scenery was spread before him. Li Bai, full of excitement, wrote the famous line: 'To see a thousand miles, you must climb to a higher floor.'
