Origin Story

话说唐朝时期，有一位名叫李白的诗人，他一生创作了许多传世佳作，其中不少诗篇都蕴含着深刻的哲理和丰富的想象力。然而，李白并非生来就如此才华横溢，他也是经过了多年的学习和积累，才最终成就了他的诗歌事业。有一次，李白与友人相聚，友人向他请教诗歌创作的秘诀。李白笑了笑，说道：“创作诗歌，并非一朝一夕之功，需要我们不断地学习和积累。诗歌创作，也需要有案可稽的证据，才能使诗歌更加具有说服力。我曾经花费数年时间，阅读了大量的书籍和典籍，从中汲取营养，才能够写出那些充满诗意的诗篇。而那些没有经过考证的诗歌，则往往缺乏真实感，让人感觉空洞无物。”友人在听完李白的讲解后，深受启发，他明白了诗歌创作的真正含义，以及创作诗歌需要付出多少努力。从此以后，这位友人更加勤奋地学习和积累，最终也写出了许多优秀的诗歌作品。

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Li Bai, who wrote many famous poems, many of which were full of profound philosophy and vivid imagination. However, Li Bai was not born with such talent; he learned and accumulated for many years before he could finally achieve his poetic career. Once, Li Bai met a friend who asked him about the secrets of writing poetry. Li Bai smiled and said: “Writing poetry is not a matter of a day, but requires continuous learning and accumulation. Poetry writing also needs verifiable evidence to make the poetry more persuasive. I once spent years reading a large number of books and classics, absorbing nourishment from them, and only then could I write those poetic poems. And those poems that have not been verified often lack authenticity and feel empty. “ After the friend had heard Li Bai's explanation, he was deeply impressed. He understood the true meaning of poetry writing and how much effort it requires. From that day on, this friend studied and accumulated more diligently, and eventually wrote many excellent poems.
