Origin Story
话说唐朝时期,一位名叫李白的诗人,游历山水,饱览祖国大好河山。一日,他来到一座深山老林,发现一个巨大的山洞。好奇心驱使下,他走了进去。洞内漆黑一片,伸手不见五指,李白点燃火把,慢慢地走进去。走了许久,眼前豁然开朗,竟然别有洞天。一个巨大的地下宫殿出现在眼前,宫殿金碧辉煌,装饰精美绝伦。墙壁上画着各种奇珍异兽,栩栩如生。殿中央摆放着一张巨大的玉桌,桌上摆放着各种奇珍异宝。李白从来没有见过如此壮观的景象,惊叹不已。他从未想过,在大山深处,竟然隐藏着如此神奇的世界。他写下了一首诗来歌颂这见所未见的奇景,流传至今。
During the Tang Dynasty, a poet named Li Bai traveled through mountains and rivers, admiring the beauty of his motherland. One day, he came to a deep mountain forest and discovered a huge cave. Driven by curiosity, he went inside. The cave was pitch black; Li Bai lit a torch and slowly walked in. After walking for a long time, the path suddenly opened up to a magnificent underground world. A huge palace appeared before him, splendidly decorated with incredibly fine details. The walls were painted with images of strange and wonderful animals, vivid and detailed. In the center of the palace stood a huge jade table, on which various treasures were placed. Li Bai had never seen such a magnificent sight and was overwhelmed with amazement. He never imagined that such a wondrous world was hidden in the depths of the mountains. He wrote a poem to describe this extraordinary scene, which has been passed down to this day.
