话说唐朝时期，长安城里有一位名叫李白的诗人，他创作了许多脍炙人口的诗篇。有一天，一位官员来拜访李白，想向他请教一些关于诗歌创作的问题。官员向李白提出了一个问题：‘李白先生，您创作诗歌时，是否有一些固定的模式或者方法？’李白笑了笑，说道：‘我创作诗歌，从来就没有什么固定的模式，一切都是有根有据，灵感来源于生活，来源于我对大自然和人生的观察和思考。’官员又问道：‘那您创作的诗歌是如何保证其真实性和艺术性的呢？’李白答道：‘我创作的诗歌，无论是题材的选择，还是语言的运用，都是有根有据的。我所描写的景物，都是我亲眼所见，亲身体验过的；我所表达的情感，也都是我真情实感的流露。’官员听后深受启发，连连称赞李白的创作方法有根有据，令人敬佩。

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Li Bai who lived in Chang'an city. He created many popular poems. One day, an official visited Li Bai and wanted to ask him some questions about poetry creation. The official asked Li Bai a question: 'Mr. Li Bai, do you have some fixed patterns or methods when you create poems?' Li Bai smiled and said, 'I have never had any fixed patterns when I create poems. Everything is well-founded. Inspiration comes from life, from my observation and thinking about nature and life.' The official asked again: 'Then how do you ensure the authenticity and artistry of your poems?' Li Bai replied: 'My poems, whether in the choice of subject matter or the use of language, are all well-founded. The scenes I describe are all what I have seen and experienced myself; the emotions I express are also my sincere feelings.' The official was deeply inspired after hearing this, and repeatedly praised Li Bai's well-founded creation method, which is admirable.
