Origin Story

传说在遥远的东方，有一座神秘的山峰，名叫昆仑山。昆仑山高耸入云，山间云雾缭绕，充满了奇幻色彩。据说山顶上住着一位神仙，名叫西王母，她拥有着无穷无尽的灵丹妙药，可以治百病，延年益寿。许多人梦想着登上昆仑山，寻找西王母，得到她赐予的灵丹妙药。 有一个名叫张三的书生，他从小就听说昆仑山的传说，一心想要寻找西王母，得到她的灵丹妙药。他辞别了家人，踏上了前往昆仑山的漫漫旅程。一路上，他翻山越岭，历经艰险，终于来到了昆仑山脚下。 昆仑山上的路异常崎岖，张三费了好大的力气才爬到半山腰。这时，他看到了一座古老的石碑，上面刻着几个大字：“欲求仙药，须先历尽磨难”。张三心中顿时充满了斗志，他暗下决心，一定要克服所有的困难，找到西王母，得到她的灵丹妙药。 他继续向上攀登，走了很久，终于来到了山顶。山顶上有一座金碧辉煌的宫殿，那就是西王母的宫殿。张三欣喜若狂，他迫不及待地走进宫殿，却发现宫殿里空无一人。他四处寻找，终于在角落里发现了一张古朴的书桌，书桌上放着一本古书。张三翻开古书，书中写着：“人生在世，无非是吃喝玩乐，何必执着于长生不老。如果你真的想得到无穷无尽的幸福，就应该珍惜当下，享受生活。” 张三看后，顿时明白了，真正的幸福不在于追求虚无缥缈的东西，而在于珍惜眼前的一切。他放下古书，下山回到了自己的家乡，从此过上了平凡而快乐的生活。

Legend has it that in the distant East, there is a mysterious mountain peak called Kunlun Mountain. Kunlun Mountain rises high into the clouds, the mountains are shrouded in mist, full of fantasy colors. It is said that on the top of the mountain lives a goddess named Xi Wangmu, who possesses endless magic pills and elixirs that can cure all diseases and prolong life. Many people dream of climbing Kunlun Mountain, finding Xi Wangmu, and obtaining the magic pills and elixirs she bestows. There was a scholar named Zhang San who, as a child, had heard the legend of Kunlun Mountain and was determined to find Xi Wangmu and obtain her magic pills and elixirs. He bid farewell to his family and embarked on the long journey to Kunlun Mountain. Along the way, he crossed mountains and valleys, endured many dangers, until he finally arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. The path up Kunlun Mountain was unusually rugged, and Zhang San had a hard time climbing halfway up the mountain. There, he saw an ancient stone tablet inscribed with several large characters: “Those who seek the elixir of immortality must first endure countless trials.” Zhang San was immediately full of fighting spirit, he decided to overcome all difficulties, find Xi Wangmu, and obtain her magic pills and elixirs. He continued climbing upwards, walking for a long time, until he finally reached the summit. On the summit stood a golden palace, the palace of Xi Wangmu. Zhang San was overjoyed, he rushed eagerly into the palace, only to find that the palace was empty. He searched everywhere, finally discovering an old, simple desk in the corner, with an ancient book on it. Zhang San opened the book, and it read: “Life on Earth is no different from eating, drinking, having fun and enjoying oneself, why cling to immortality. If you truly want to find endless happiness, you should cherish the present and enjoy life.” After reading this, Zhang San suddenly understood, that true happiness does not lie in pursuing the elusive, but in cherishing everything in front of you. He put down the book, descended the mountain and returned to his hometown, where he lived a simple and happy life from then on.
