Origin Story

传说在很久以前，有一座大山，山上住着一位神仙。他非常喜欢帮助人们，所以经常下山为人们做一些好事。有一天，他看到山下的人们因为干旱而遭受着巨大的痛苦。为了帮助人们，他决定从天上取来甘露，浇灌大地。于是，他便施展法术，让天上的甘露像一条长长的河流一样，连绵不断地流淌下来，滋润了整个山区。从此以后，山区再也没有发生过干旱，人们的生活也越来越富裕。

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a great mountain, where a god lived. He loved helping people, and frequently descended the mountain to perform good deeds. One day, he saw that the people in the valley were suffering from severe drought. To help them, he decided to obtain dew from the heavens and irrigate the land. He then used his magic to cause heavenly dew to flow continuously down like a long river, moistening the whole mountain area. From then on, there were no more droughts in the mountain area, and people's lives became increasingly prosperous.
