Origin Story
话说三国时期，群雄逐鹿，天下大乱。张角兄弟三人，凭借黄巾起义，势力迅速扩张，一度占据了半个中原，声势浩大，一时独霸一方。他们打着“苍天已死，黄天当立”的旗号，聚拢了大量贫苦百姓，对东汉王朝造成了巨大的威胁。然而，他们的起义最终被朝廷镇压，张角兄弟也相继死去。这段历史告诉我们，即使一时独霸一方，如果没有正义和民心所向，最终也会走向失败。
During the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China, many warlords fought for supremacy, and the world was in chaos. Three brothers surnamed Zhang, relying on the Yellow Turban Rebellion, rapidly expanded their power and once occupied half of the Central Plains, becoming very powerful and dominating one region for a time. They rallied a huge number of impoverished people under the banner of "Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise." They posed a grave threat to the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, their rebellion was eventually suppressed by the court, and the Zhang brothers died. This historical episode illustrates that even if one temporarily dominates an area, without righteousness and the support of the people, they will ultimately fail.
