Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，一位名叫李白的诗仙，一日在长安酒楼饮酒作诗，突然听到有人在议论他的诗词，说他的诗词晦涩难懂，毫无文采可言。李白顿时怒气冲天，放下酒杯，挥笔写下一首诗，气势磅礴，字字珠玑，将那些人的言论斥责得体无完肤。这首诗一出，立即轰动长安城，那些议论他的人无地自容，从此不敢再妄加评论。
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Li Bai, known as the "God of Poetry." One day, he was drinking and composing poetry in a tavern in Chang'an, when he suddenly heard some people discussing his poems, saying that his poetry was obscure and lacked literary merit. Li Bai was immediately furious, put down his wine cup, and wrote a poem with tremendous momentum, words like pearls, refuting those people's comments completely. As soon as this poem came out, it immediately caused a sensation in Chang'an, and those who had talked about him were ashamed and did not dare to criticize his poems again.
