Origin Story
很久以前,在一个古老的村庄里,住着一位名叫阿牛的年轻人。他勤劳朴实,日出而作,日落而息,耕种着自家的田地。一年四季,春夏秋冬,周而复始,阿牛就这样平静地生活着。春天,他播下希望的种子;夏天,他辛勤地劳作,呵护着幼苗;秋天,他收获着金黄的果实;冬天,他则在温暖的家中享受着丰收的喜悦。年复一年,周而复始,阿牛的生活虽然简单,却充满了规律和美感。他像自然一样,遵循着自然的规律,感受着生命的循环往复。他明白,春去秋来,寒来暑往,一切都是周而复始,生生不息的。他也深知,只有遵循自然规律,才能更好地生活。
Long ago, in an ancient village, lived a young man named Aniu. He was diligent and simple, working from sunrise to sunset, cultivating his own land. The four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, repeated themselves, and Aniu lived peacefully in this cycle. In spring, he sowed the seeds of hope; in summer, he worked hard, caring for the seedlings; in autumn, he harvested the golden fruits; in winter, he enjoyed the joy of the harvest in his warm home. Year after year, the cycle continued, Aniu's life was simple but full of rhythm and beauty. He followed the laws of nature just like nature itself, feeling the cycle of life. He understood that spring turned to autumn, cold turned to hot, and everything repeated itself, life and death were never-ending. He also knew that only by following the laws of nature could he live a better life.
