Origin Story

话说唐朝时期,长安城里住着一位名叫李白的书生,他从小就表现出异于常人的才华。他博览群书,对诗词歌赋尤其精通,出口成章,文采斐然。不仅如此,他还精通音律,擅长绘画,棋艺也相当高超。一次,唐玄宗举办盛大的宴会,邀请天下才俊参加。李白也应邀前往。席间,玄宗皇帝出一上联,让众才子对下联,一时间,满堂皆静,无人敢应。李白不慌不忙,略一沉吟,便对出了一个气势磅礴的下联,令玄宗龙颜大悦,赞不绝口。从此,李白"才识过人"的名声传遍大江南北,成为家喻户晓的人物。

huà shuō táng cháo shí qī, cháng ān chéng lǐ zhù zhe yī wèi míng jiào lǐ bái de shū shēng, tā cóng xiǎo jiù biǎo xiàn chū yì yú cháng rén de cái huá

During the Tang Dynasty, there lived a scholar named Li Bai in Chang'an city. From a young age, he showed extraordinary talent, surpassing his peers. He was well-read, exceptionally skilled in poetry and calligraphy, capable of composing verses effortlessly, his style elegant and refined. Beyond this, he was also proficient in music, an accomplished painter, and a highly skilled player of Go. Once, Emperor Xuanzong hosted a grand banquet inviting the most talented individuals from across the land. Li Bai, too, was among the guests. At the banquet, the Emperor presented a superior couplet (of a Chinese distich), challenging the assembled scholars to compose an inferior couplet in response. For a moment, silence filled the hall; none dared to answer. Li Bai, unhurried, paused briefly before delivering a powerful inferior couplet that greatly pleased the Emperor, who showered him with praise. From that day forward, Li Bai's reputation for exceptional talent spread throughout China, making him a household name.
