Origin Story
话说唐朝末年，黄巢领导的农民起义席卷全国。起义军一路高歌猛进，所到之处，官府官员闻风丧胆。这一切，并非偶然。长期以来，统治者沉迷享乐，横征暴敛，百姓民不聊生，赋税繁重，官府腐败，贪官污吏横行乡里，欺压百姓，百姓早已怨声载道。黄巢的起义，正是官逼民反的典型例子，是人民反抗压迫的必然结果。黄巢起义虽然最终失败了，但他揭开了唐朝灭亡的序幕，也警示后世统治者要善待百姓，否则，必将自食其果。
During the late Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao led a peasant uprising that swept across the country. The rebel army advanced victoriously, and government officials fled in fear wherever they went. This was no accident. For a long time, the rulers had been indulging in pleasure and levying heavy taxes, the people were struggling to survive, the government was corrupt, corrupt officials were rampant, oppressing the people, and the people had long complained about the injustice. Huang Chao's uprising was a typical example of "Guān bī mín fǎn", the inevitable result of the people's resistance against oppression. Although Huang Chao's uprising ultimately failed, it ushered in the end of the Tang Dynasty and warned later rulers to treat the people well, otherwise they would reap what they sow.
