Once upon a time, in a remote mountain village, lived a young carpenter named Li Bai. He was skillful, and the wooden utensils he made were exquisite, deeply loved by the villagers. However, Li Bai was humble and never boasted about his skills, working diligently day after day, his name remained little known outside the village. One day, a famous master craftsman passed through the mountain village and accidentally saw the wooden utensils made by Li Bai, and he was amazed. The master immediately found Li Bai and invited him to the capital to participate in the construction of the imperial palace. Although Li Bai was excited, he remained humble. In the capital, Li Bai's skills were fully utilized, and he participated in the design and construction of many magnificent palaces, and his name gradually spread throughout the dynasty. However, Li Bai still maintained a simple lifestyle and never pursued fame or fortune. He made countless exquisite wooden utensils for the people, bringing joy to people, and his name was therefore forever engraved on the historical monument.
