Origin Story
春秋时期，卫国公子州吁弑兄篡位，残暴统治，民怨沸腾。他日益骄横，不听劝谏，最终众叛亲离，被杀身亡，成为历史上昏庸无道的典型。卫国大夫石碏曾劝谏州吁，但州吁不听，最终落得个悲惨的结局。州吁的失败，警示后世统治者要以民为本，施行仁政。
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Gongzi Zhouxu, a prince of the Wei state, murdered his brother and usurped the throne. He ruled cruelly, and the people were filled with resentment. Becoming increasingly arrogant, he ignored all advice and was eventually abandoned by everyone and killed. He became a classic example of a tyrannical ruler in history. Shi Ji, a minister of Wei, had warned Gongzi Zhouxu, but he didn't listen, and ultimately met a tragic end. The failure of Gongzi Zhouxu serves as a warning to later rulers to value the people and practice benevolent governance.
