Idioms and allusions

After Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, he was diligent and cautious day and night. He also encouraged himself and boasted that he was "vigilant in the morning and in the evening". Nian gengyao reversed the order of words in the congratulatory table, wrote "morning and night vigilance" as "morning and night vigilance", praised Yongzheng's hard work, and Yongzheng used it as an excuse to rise the prison. "Chao Qian Xi ti" is the earliest term in the book of changes. There is a saying in the ninth three chapters of the qiangua: "a gentleman works hard all day long, and is vigilant at night. He has no fault." Qian means masculine, masculine, bright, emperor and father in the book of changes wait. The four words "dry all day long" can be understood as "doing aboveboard things all day long;" being alert at night "means to be alert and introspective every night. The book of changes tells people that as long as a gentleman can do this, there will be no trouble. Therefore, it has become a fixed idiom. In Chinese, the order of the coordinate words is reversed, and the meaning is not changed. Sometimes, for the sake of rhyme, it is common for the author to adjust the word order. Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty reversed the order of the words by taking advantage of Nian gengyao to set up a big prison. It can only be said that he wanted to add crime. However, it also made the word "chaoqianxiti" famous throughout the ages.
