Origin Story
传说在古代，有一位博学多才的学者，名叫李先生。他一生致力于收集各种书籍，从诗歌到历史，从哲学到科学，无所不包。他的书房里堆满了书籍，高耸入云，宛如一座书山。有一天，一位友人来访，看到李先生书房里的书籍堆积如山，忍不住感叹道：“先生的藏书真是浩如烟海啊！”李先生谦逊地笑了笑，说道：“这些不过是我毕生收集的一小部分罢了，还有许多珍贵的典籍，我没有机会收集到。”友人听得更是惊讶不已，深感李先生的学识渊博，令人敬佩。
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a learned and talented scholar named Mr. Li. He devoted his life to collecting various books, from poetry to history, from philosophy to science, encompassing everything. His study was piled high with books, towering into the sky, like a mountain of books. One day, a friend came to visit, and seeing the mountain of books in Mr. Li's study, he could not help but exclaim, “Mr. Li's collection of books is truly as vast as the ocean!” Mr. Li smiled modestly and said, “These are just a small part of my lifelong collection. There are still many precious classics that I have not had the opportunity to collect.” The friend was even more surprised and deeply admired Mr. Li's profound knowledge.
