Origin Story
传说,天马是一种神马,速度快如闪电,能在天空飞翔,神通广大。唐代诗人李白,他的诗歌豪迈奔放,充满了浪漫主义色彩,就像天马行空一样,自由自在,无拘无束。他曾经写下“仰天大笑出门去,我辈岂是蓬蒿人”的豪迈诗句,表达了他对世俗生活的蔑视和对理想的追求。
Legend has it that the celestial horse is a divine steed, as fast as lightning, able to fly through the sky, with great magical powers. Li Bai, a poet from the Tang Dynasty, wrote poems that were free and full of romanticism, like a celestial horse galloping through the sky, free and unrestrained. He once wrote the powerful lines “I laugh to the heavens and go out, we are not people from the weeds.”
