Origin Story

话说唐朝时期,有个名叫李白的诗人,他不仅才华横溢,而且为人谦逊,做事认真负责。有一次,他受朋友之托,要写一幅字送给他的老师。李白非常重视这件事,他不仅亲自挑选上等的宣纸和墨汁,还亲自研磨墨汁,练习字体,直到满意为止。他反复修改,力求完美,最终写出气势恢宏,字迹优美的作品。朋友将字送给他老师后,老师看后连声称赞,并感叹道:‘这李白真是个事必躬亲的人啊!’李白的老师不仅是对李白为人处世态度的肯定,更是对书法艺术一丝不苟的体现。

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Li Bai, who was not only exceptionally talented but also humble and responsible. Once, a friend asked him to write a calligraphy work for his teacher. Li Bai took this task very seriously. He personally selected high-quality paper and ink, ground the ink himself, and practiced his handwriting until he was satisfied. He repeatedly revised his work, striving for perfection, and finally created a magnificent and beautiful piece. When the friend gave the work to his teacher, the teacher praised it highly and exclaimed, “This Li Bai is truly a man who personally handles every matter!” Li Bai’s teacher not only praised Li Bai’s attitude towards life but also the meticulous execution of the calligraphy.
