Origin Story
薄雾笼罩着山谷，古老的寺庙若隐若现，仿佛隐藏在仙境之中。一位年轻的书生，为了寻找传说中的仙草，踏上了这条充满神秘色彩的山路。他穿过茂密的竹林，拨开低垂的枝叶，寺庙时而清晰，时而模糊，像一位羞涩的少女，时隐时现。他继续前行，穿过一片开满野花的草地，终于来到寺庙门前。推开沉重的大门，一股清新的空气扑面而来，古老的木鱼声，悠扬而神秘，仿佛在诉说着古老的故事。他终于找到了传说中的仙草，但是，仙草的药力却如同它的外形一般若隐若现，需要长久的耐心和细致的观察才能发挥它的功效。他带着仙草离开了寺庙，心中充满了对未来的希望，如同山谷里的薄雾，时而浓厚，时而稀薄，但他知道，只要坚持不懈，他就能看到属于自己的清晰未来。
A light fog shrouded the valley, and an ancient temple appeared and disappeared, as if hidden in a fairyland. A young scholar, in search of a legendary herb, embarked on this mysterious mountain path. He passed through a dense bamboo forest, pushing aside the low-hanging branches, the temple sometimes clear, sometimes vague, like a shy girl, appearing and disappearing. He continued on, crossing a meadow filled with wildflowers, and finally arrived at the temple gate. Pushing open the heavy door, a fresh breeze swept over him, and the sound of ancient wooden fish was melodious and mysterious, as if telling an ancient story. He finally found the legendary herb, but its medicinal effect, like its appearance, was faint and needed long patience and careful observation to exert its efficacy. He left the temple with the herb, his heart full of hope for the future, like the fog in the valley, sometimes thick, sometimes thin, but he knew that as long as he persevered, he would see his own clear future.
