Origin Story
话说唐朝贞观年间，长安城里住着一位名叫李白的书生。他从小就才华横溢，文采斐然，年纪轻轻便写就了许多脍炙人口的诗篇，一时名动长安，被誉为“诗仙”。许多达官显贵都慕名而来，与他结交，一时之间，李白风头无两，在长安城里烜赫一时。然而，世事难料，李白恃才傲物，得罪了不少权贵，最终被贬出长安，结束了他在长安的烜赫一时。此后，他虽然四处漂泊，但其诗作依然流传千古，成为一代诗仙。
During the Zhenguan years of the Tang Dynasty, there lived a scholar named Li Bai in Chang'an. From a young age, he was talented and gifted, writing many popular poems at a young age and becoming known as the “immortal poet”. Many high officials sought him out to become friends with him. For a time, Li Bai was at the peak of his fame and was very famous in Chang’an. However, times changed, and Li Bai became arrogant and offended many powerful people, ultimately leading to his banishment from Chang’an, ending his glorious time there. Even though he wandered around afterwards, his poetry still remains to this day, making him a legendary poet.
