Origin Story

话说唐朝时期，一位名叫李白的诗仙，年轻时便才华横溢，名扬天下。一日，他游历到一座大山，山脚下居住着一位隐居多年的老道士，据说拥有通天彻地的法力。李白慕名而来，想见识老道士的本领。老道士见李白文采斐然，便对他进行了一番考验。老道士让他写一首诗，诗中要体现出他的胸襟和气魄。李白胸有成竹，挥笔疾书，不一会儿便写成一首气势磅礴的诗。诗中，他运用丰富的想象力，描绘了天地之间恢弘壮阔的景象，诗词中充满了豪迈之情。读完这首诗后，老道士不禁赞叹道：“好一个气吞山河的少年！你此诗一出，怕是要风云变色，名扬四海了！”只见话音刚落，天空突然乌云密布，狂风大作，雷声隆隆，山上的树木也随之摇摆，仿佛天地之间都为之震动，李白的名声确实也因此传遍了大江南北。

During the Tang Dynasty of ancient China, there was a talented poet named Li Bai, whose name was known throughout the land. One day, he traveled to a large mountain, at the foot of which lived a hermit who was said to possess magical powers. Intrigued, Li Bai visited the hermit to witness his abilities. The hermit, impressed by Li Bai’s literary talent, challenged him to write a poem that embodied his courage and broad-mindedness. Li Bai, confident in his skills, quickly wrote a powerful and magnificent poem. With vivid imagery, he depicted the vastness and grandeur of the world. After reading the poem, the hermit exclaimed, "A young man with the spirit of a dragon! This poem will change the world and bring you fame!" No sooner had the hermit spoken, the sky darkened, a storm arose, thunder roared, and the trees on the mountain shook as if the world itself was trembling. And so, Li Bai's fame spread throughout the land.
