Origin Story
唐朝诗人陈子昂，怀才不遇，仕途坎坷。一天，他登上幽州台，眺望远方，感慨万千。极目远眺，只见苍茫大地，历史的烟云在眼前飘过，他仿佛看到无数的古人，他们在历史的长河中，留下了一串串辉煌的足迹，也留下了一篇篇可歌可泣的篇章。可是，这些古人，都已远去，他们的业绩，都已成为历史的尘埃。陈子昂不禁悲从中来，写下了千古名篇《登幽州台歌》：“前不见古人，后不见来者。念天地之悠悠，独怆然而涕下！”这首诗，表达了诗人壮志未酬的悲愤，也表达了他对历史的深刻思考。陈子昂的诗歌，也成为了后世人们借鉴学习的典范，他的诗歌，他的精神，将永远流传下去。
Chen Ziang, a Tang Dynasty poet, was talented but unlucky and had a bumpy career path. One day, he climbed the Youzhou Terrace, looked into the distance, and felt countless emotions. As far as the eye could see, he saw the vast land and historical clouds drifting before his eyes, as if he saw countless ancient people, leaving a string of brilliant footprints in the long river of history, and also leaving moving chapters. However, these ancient people have long gone, and their achievements have become the dust of history. Chen Ziang could not help but feel sad and wrote the famous poem "Ode to the Youzhou Terrace": "Before me, I saw no ancient people, after me, I saw no comers. Thinking of the vastness of heaven and earth, I feel alone and shed tears!" This poem expresses the poet's grief over his unfulfilled ambitions, and also expresses his deep thoughts on history. Chen Ziang's poetry has also become a model for future generations to learn from; his poetry and spirit will forever live on.
