话说唐朝时期，长安城外有一座山，山脚下住着一个名叫李白的樵夫。李白自幼聪慧，喜爱读书，但家境贫寒，只能靠砍柴为生。他勤劳肯干，砍柴技术高超，很快在附近村庄小有名气。一日，他进城卖柴，路遇一位官员，官员见他气质不凡，便与其攀谈。李白谈吐不凡，出口成章，官员大为惊叹，并向他请教诗文。李白即兴赋诗，诗作豪迈奔放，充满浪漫主义情怀，立即引来众多路人驻足聆听。一时间，李白的诗名传遍了长安城，甚至远至边疆都传颂着他的才华。很快，李白被皇帝召见，从此踏上仕途，名扬天下。他的人生经历便是“遐迩闻名”的最佳写照，他的才华与名气，不仅在长安城内流传，甚至传遍了祖国大江南北，成为了家喻户晓的人物。
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a woodcutter named Li Bai who lived at the foot of a mountain outside Chang'an. Li Bai was intelligent from birth and loved to read, but his family was poor and he had to make a living by cutting wood. He was diligent and skilled; his woodcutting skills were superb, and he quickly gained a good reputation in nearby villages. One day, he went to the city to sell firewood and met an official. The official noticed his extraordinary demeanor and struck up a conversation. Li Bai's conversation was extraordinary, eloquent and spontaneous; the official was amazed and asked him for advice on poetry. Li Bai improvised poems, which were powerful and full of romantic sentiment, immediately drawing a large crowd of onlookers. In a short time, Li Bai's reputation spread throughout Chang'an city, and even reached the borders of the country. Soon, Li Bai was summoned by the emperor and started his career in public service, becoming famous throughout the country. His life story is a perfect example of 'renowned far and wide'; his talent and reputation spread not only in Chang'an, but throughout the country, and he became a household name.
