Origin Story

唐朝诗人李白，一日游山玩水，兴致勃勃。来到一处景色秀丽的山谷，清澈的溪流，繁花似锦，鸟语花香，令人心旷神怡。李白正要挥毫泼墨，创作一首绝世好诗，突然，远处传来一阵喧哗声，一群人扛着木头，吵吵嚷嚷地经过，打破了山谷的宁静。李白无奈地叹了口气，这群人真是大煞风景！原本美好的意境，就这样被破坏了。他放下笔，心情沉重。后来，李白将这次经历写进诗中，这首诗也成为千古名篇，警示后人要珍惜美好的事物，不要轻易破坏美好的氛围。

Li Bai, a Tang Dynasty poet, was enjoying a scenic excursion one day, brimming with enthusiasm. He arrived at a beautiful valley, with crystal-clear streams, flowers in full bloom, and birdsong filling the air—a truly enchanting sight. Li Bai, about to begin writing a magnificent poem, was suddenly interrupted by a cacophony of noise from the distance. A group of people, carrying timber, marched through, disrupting the tranquil atmosphere of the valley. Li Bai sighed regretfully; these people were truly a damper on the mood! The beautiful scene had been destroyed. He laid down his brush, feeling heavy-hearted. Later, Li Bai wrote about this experience in a poem, which became a famous literary work, warning future generations to cherish beautiful things and not easily spoil a good atmosphere.
