Origin Story

春秋时期,卫国国君卫庄公宠爱他的儿子公子州吁,纵容其骄奢淫逸,公子州吁因此变得骄横跋扈,为所欲为。大臣石碏多次劝谏卫庄公,但卫庄公不听。卫庄公死后,公子州吁杀害了他的哥哥卫桓公,自立为君。他继续过着骄奢淫逸的生活,最终被石碏设计杀死,卫国也因此避免了更大的灾难。这个故事警示人们,骄奢淫逸会带来恶果,统治者更应该以身作则,励精图治,造福百姓。

During the Spring and Autumn period, the ruler of the Wei state, Duke Zhuang, favored his son, Prince Zhouyu, and indulged his luxurious and debauched lifestyle. Prince Zhouyu thus became arrogant and did as he pleased. The minister Shi Bao repeatedly admonished Duke Zhuang, but Duke Zhuang did not listen. After the death of Duke Zhuang, Prince Zhouyu killed his brother, Duke Huan of Wei, and made himself ruler. He continued to live a life of luxury and debauchery, and was eventually killed by Shi Bao's plot, and the Wei state thus avoided a greater disaster. This story warns people that luxury and debauchery will bring bad consequences, and rulers should set an example, work diligently, and benefit the people.
