Origin Story

话说唐朝时期，长安城里发生了一件大事，那就是状元郎李白的诗作突然在民间广泛流传，一时间长安城内关于李白诗作的讨论沸沸扬扬。从达官贵人到平民百姓，几乎每个人都在谈论着李白的诗歌，有人赞扬其才华横溢，有人批评其风格独特，有人甚至将他的诗句与往昔名家作品相比较。茶馆酒肆里，人们聚在一起，高谈阔论，声音震耳欲聋；街头巷尾，人们三五成群，低声细语，窃窃私议。一时间，李白的诗作成了长安城里最热门的话题，他的名字也家喻户晓，无人不知，无人不晓。这种盛况持续了数月之久，直到另一位诗人的新作出现，才逐渐平息下来。但是，李白那沸沸扬扬的名声，却永远留在了人们心中。

During the Tang Dynasty, a significant event occurred in Chang'an: the poems of the renowned scholar Li Bai suddenly became widespread among the people. The city buzzed with discussions about Li Bai's work. From high-ranking officials to ordinary citizens, almost everyone was talking about Li Bai's poetry. Some praised his extraordinary talent, while others criticized his unique style. Some even compared his verses to the works of famous poets of the past. In tea houses and taverns, people gathered to animatedly discuss his works, their voices echoing loudly. In the streets and alleys, people whispered in small groups. For a time, Li Bai's poems became the hottest topic in Chang'an, and his name became a household word. This excitement lasted for several months until the arrival of a new work by another poet gradually calmed things down. But Li Bai's once-boisterous reputation remained forever in people's hearts.
