话说春秋战国时期，各国之间战争不断，弱肉强食的局面十分残酷。一个小国，由于国力衰弱，在一次与强邻的战争中惨败，最终被灭国。这个小国的子民，有的被杀害，有的被俘虏，有的流离失所，从此这个小国消失了，成为历史的尘埃。这场战争，不仅仅是国家的灭亡，更是这个小国民族的灭绝，他们优秀的文化，独特的风俗，都被残酷的战争所摧毁，只留下历史上的一个注脚，警示后人：和平是多么的可贵。
During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods of ancient China, wars between states were constant, and the situation of the strong devouring the weak was extremely cruel. A small country, due to its weak national strength, suffered a disastrous defeat in a war with a powerful neighbor and was ultimately destroyed. The people of this small country, some were killed, some were captured, and some were displaced, and from then on this small country disappeared, becoming dust in history. This war was not only the destruction of the country, but also the extermination of the people of this small country. Their excellent culture and unique customs were destroyed by the cruel war, leaving only a footnote in history, warning future generations of how precious peace is.
