Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，有一位名叫李白的诗人，他天性浪漫不羁，为人豪放洒脱，做事也常常自由放任。他游历各地，写下许多脍炙人口的诗篇，却从不拘泥于世俗的条条框框。有一次，他受邀参加朝廷宴会，皇帝十分赏识他的才华，便问他有什么愿望。李白仰天大笑，说道：“臣唯有想自由自在，无拘无束地游历山水，创作诗歌！”皇帝听后，便准许他告辞，继续他自由放任的生活。后来，李白继续他的诗酒生涯，留下无数千古绝句，成为中国历史上最伟大的诗人之一。他的生活方式，虽然有些自由放任，却也成就了他辉煌的诗歌事业。
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Li Bai. He was romantic and unrestrained by nature, generous and easy-going in his demeanor, and often free and unrestrained in his actions. He traveled extensively, writing many popular poems, but never adhering to worldly conventions. Once, he was invited to a court banquet, and the emperor greatly admired his talent and asked him what he desired. Li Bai laughed to the heavens and said, "I only wish to travel freely and unrestrainedly through mountains and rivers and create poems!" The emperor, after hearing this, allowed him to leave and continue his free and unrestrained life. Later, Li Bai continued his life as a poet and drinker, leaving behind countless ancient poems that made him one of the greatest poets in Chinese history. His lifestyle, though somewhat laissez-faire, contributed to his brilliant career as a poet.
