Origin Story

话说唐朝时期，长安城里住着一位名叫李白的书生，他自幼酷爱读书，家中的书架上堆满了各种各样的书籍，从天文地理到诗词歌赋，无所不包。李白读书非常认真，常常废寝忘食，日夜苦读，因此他的学问越来越渊博，见识也越来越广阔。有一天，一位来自西域的使者来到长安，他带来了许多珍奇异宝，还带来了一些西域的书籍和典籍，其中有一本是关于西域历史和文化的书。李白听说后，立刻前去拜访这位使者，并向他借阅了这本书。他如饥似渴地阅读这本书，从中了解到许多关于西域的历史和文化知识，这让他对世界的认识更加开阔了。后来，李白凭借着自己博学多识，写出了许多优秀的诗篇，流传千古，成为了唐朝著名的诗人。

In the Tang Dynasty, there lived a scholar named Li Bai in Chang'an City. Since childhood, he loved reading, and his bookshelves were filled with various books, ranging from astronomy and geography to poetry and songs. Li Bai studied very diligently, often neglecting food and sleep, and thus his knowledge grew increasingly profound and his vision increasingly broad. One day, a messenger from the West came to Chang'an. He brought many rare treasures and also some books and scriptures from the West, among which was a book about the history and culture of the West. Upon hearing this, Li Bai immediately visited the messenger and borrowed this book. He read this book eagerly and learned much knowledge about the history and culture of the West. This broadened his understanding of the world. Later, with his vast knowledge, Li Bai wrote many excellent poems that have been passed down through the ages, making him a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty.
