During the Tang Dynasty, a poet named Li Bai traveled through famous mountains and rivers. When he arrived at the foot of a huge mountain range, he saw countless mountains, piled on top of each other in dizzying heights, their peaks shrouded in clouds and mist—a huge, breathtaking work of art by nature. Li Bai was deeply impressed by the magnificence and wrote, "Peaks stand proudly, mountains pile up, waterfalls rush, stones are bizarre." Inspired by the magnificence of nature, he wrote countless poems. He wandered up the winding mountain path, admiring peculiar rocks, gushing waterfalls, and experiencing the artistry of nature. Reaching the summit, he saw countless mountain ranges, stretching incessantly to the horizon, seemingly endless. He admired the vastness and wonder of nature, and his inspiration gushed like a spring. He wrote countless poems praising the beauty of the mountains and rivers, which have been passed down to this day.
