Origin Story

在古代的中国，人们过着日出而作，日落而息的生活，一年四季，周而复始。农民们辛勤耕作，收获着丰收的喜悦，他们会定期举行一些祭祀活动来感谢神灵的保佑。其中，最重要的节日之一就是一年一度的丰收节。 丰收节当天，人们会穿上最美的衣服，来到田野里，举行各种仪式，祈求来年风调雨顺，五谷丰登。他们还会用新收获的粮食，做成各种美味的食物，与家人朋友一起分享，庆祝丰收的喜悦。 在丰收节的晚上，人们会点燃篝火，载歌载舞，庆祝丰收的喜悦。火光映照着人们欢快的笑脸，也照亮了他们对未来的美好期盼。 一年一度的丰收节，不仅是一个传统的节日，更是一个承载着人们对美好生活的期盼和祝福的节日。

In ancient China, people lived a life of rising with the sun and setting with the sun. The four seasons repeated themselves year after year. The farmers worked hard and reaped the fruits of their labor. They would regularly hold sacrificial ceremonies to thank the gods for their protection. One of the most important festivals was the annual harvest festival. On the harvest festival, people would put on their best clothes and come to the fields to hold various ceremonies, praying for good weather and a bountiful harvest in the coming year. They would also make various delicious foods from the newly harvested grain, sharing them with their families and friends to celebrate the joy of the harvest. On the evening of the harvest festival, people would light bonfires, sing and dance, celebrating the joy of the harvest. The firelight reflected the happy faces of the people and illuminated their hopes for a bright future. The annual harvest festival was not only a traditional festival, but also a festival that carried the hopes and wishes of the people for a good life.
