Celebrating the inscriptions on the tombstones of the past few years
The original text of the Qing Yu Nian's inscription was: " I hope that the laws of the Qing Kingdom will be established for the people. It will not be tolerated because of nobility, nor will it be deprived because of poverty. There will be no injustice that cannot be justified, no forced crimes. Following the law is like holding a sword, breaking the illusions of demons and monsters, and not seeking the gods. I hope that the people of the Qing Kingdom have the truth to follow, know etiquette, keep a benevolent heart, and not judge success or failure by money." This inscription expressed his hope for the Qing Kingdom's laws. He hoped that the laws would be fair and not favor the nobles or deprive the poor of their rights. At the same time, he also hoped that the people of Qing Kingdom would abide by the law, pursue the truth, and protect their hearts of kindness. They would not judge success or failure with money and power. This inscription was rewritten in the TV series, but it still retained the core idea of the original text.
