Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，一位名叫李白的诗人，在长安城举办了一场盛大的诗会，吸引了无数文人墨客前来参加，场面十分热闹。诗会结束后，李白因得罪权贵被贬出长安，但是这场诗会的影响却持续了好几年，许多诗人受到李白诗歌的影响，纷纷效仿他的风格创作，一时间，各种诗歌流派涌现，诗坛百花齐放。虽然李白已经离开了长安，但是他留下的余波还在持续，给唐朝的诗歌发展带来了巨大的影响，可谓余波未平。

After the poetry gathering, Li Bai was demoted out of Chang'an because he offended powerful officials, but the influence of this poetry gathering lasted for several years. Many poets were influenced by Li Bai's poems and imitated his style, creating various schools of poetry and a blossoming poetic scene. Although Li Bai had already left Chang'an, the repercussions he left behind continued and had a profound impact on the development of Tang poetry.
