Origin Story
从前，在幽静的山谷里，住着一位隐士。他名叫清风，从小就爱好自由，不喜欢喧嚣的人群。他每日清晨，都会独自一人去山顶采药，傍晚归来，伴着山间的鸟鸣，整理药材。他行走在山间小路上，脚步轻盈，宛如山间轻柔的风，自由自在。有时，他会遇到山村里的村民，但只是简单地点头示意，便又继续前行，从不主动与人攀谈。村民们都知道清风是一位隐士，尊重他的选择，敬佩他的洒脱。清风就这样，独往独来，在山谷里度过了平静而充实的一生，他的名字也成为了山谷里一道独特的风景线。
Once upon a time, in a quiet valley, lived a hermit. His name was Qingfeng, and from a young age, he loved freedom and disliked noisy crowds. Every morning, he would go alone to the mountaintop to collect herbs, and in the evening, he would return, accompanied by the birdsong of the mountains, to sort the herbs. He walked on the mountain paths, light-footed, like a gentle mountain breeze, free and unrestrained. Sometimes, he would meet villagers, but he would only nod briefly and continue on his way, never initiating a conversation. The villagers all knew that Qingfeng was a hermit, and they respected his choice and admired his easygoing nature. Qingfeng lived like this, alone and independent, in the valley, spending a peaceful and fulfilling life, and his name became a unique part of the valley's landscape.
