Origin Story

战国时期，齐国有个贤明的君主名叫齐威王，他勤政爱民，励精图治，决心要让齐国强大起来。齐威王发现，虽然齐国表面上国富民强，但实际上存在着很多弊端，百姓生活困苦，国家内部也存在着很多问题。为了改变现状，齐威王下令要改革齐国的政治制度，让百姓过上更好的生活。然而，他的许多大臣都反对他的改革，他们认为齐国现在的制度已经很好，没有必要改变。他们认为齐国几百年来一直是按照祖宗的规矩办事，现在突然要改变，这很不吉利，而且会引起百姓的恐慌。面对这些大臣的反对，齐威王并没有动摇，他坚持要改革，并说：“我们不能一直按照老规矩办事，现在时代变了，我们也要跟着变。如果我们一仍旧贯，墨守成规，那么齐国迟早会被其他国家超越，最终走向衰败。我们必须与时俱进，不断改革，才能让齐国越来越强大。”最终，齐威王成功地改革了齐国的政治制度，让百姓过上了富裕的生活，齐国也成为了战国时期最强大的国家之一。

During the Warring States Period in China, Qi was a powerful kingdom ruled by King Wei. King Wei was known for his wisdom and love for his people, but he noticed that the kingdom, despite its power, had many problems. The people were suffering from poverty, and the country was involved in many conflicts. To solve these problems, King Wei decided to reform the kingdom's political system in order to give the people a better life. However, many of his advisors opposed his reforms, arguing that the existing system was working well and there was no need for change. They argued that Qi had been acting according to the rules of its ancestors for centuries and it was unlucky and dangerous to change this. It would only cause panic among the people. Faced with the opposition of his advisors, King Wei remained steadfast and insisted on his reforms. He said, "We cannot simply continue to act according to the old rules. Times have changed and we must change too. If we simply continue as we are, we will sooner or later be overtaken by other countries and eventually fall into decline. We must keep up with the times, constantly reform, in order to make Qi stronger and stronger." Eventually, King Wei successfully reformed the political system of Qi, which enabled the people to live a more prosperous life and Qi became one of the most powerful kingdoms during the Warring States Period.
