Origin Story
在古代的中国，有一位名叫李白的诗人，他以其浪漫主义的诗歌而闻名。有一天，李白到集市上闲逛，突然看到人群熙熙攘攘，万头攒动，便好奇地挤进去一看。原来，集市上正在举办一场热闹的庙会，各种小吃摊位，杂耍表演，热闹非凡。李白看到大家兴致勃勃，脸上洋溢着笑容，不由地也感染了这种欢乐的气氛。他情不自禁地吟诵起诗歌，他的诗歌朗朗上口，引来许多人的驻足聆听。这时，一位老先生走到李白面前，笑着说：“小伙子，你的诗歌写得真好，我老人家听得很入迷。不过，你写的诗歌，有点太浪漫了，缺少一些现实生活的描写。不如你下次写一首描写市井生活的诗歌吧？”李白听了老先生的建议，沉思了一会儿，觉得很有道理。于是，他便观察起周围的人和事，他看到卖菜的商贩，大声吆喝着，脸上满是汗水；看到孩子们在玩耍，脸上充满了欢笑；看到一些老人，在树荫下休息，脸上显得安详而满足。最后，李白写了一首名为《集市》的诗歌，诗歌中充满了对生活、对人性的真切描写，令人们感触良多。
