Which is the Qing Dynasty, the mirror hanging high and the board fair? Which is the Ming Dynasty?

The mirror hung high in the Ming Dynasty, and the bright side hung high in the Qing Dynasty.

The mirror was hung high in the government offices at all levels in ancient China, and its origin is as follows:

According to the Xijing Miscellanies written by Ge Hong in the Western Jin Dynasty, in 26 BC, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for hegemony. Liu bang led the army into Xianyang, the capital of Qin dynasty. In the palace, he saw countless treasures and wonders, which was an eye-opener. Among them, there is a square mirror, which is four feet long and six feet high. If people look in the mirror in front of it, there will be an upside-down figure inside; When you press your heart with your hand, you can see people's internal organs; If there is a disease, you can see the diseased part. It is said that Qin Shihuang often used this mirror to look after his ministers, palace ladies and eunuchs, and killed them all if there were any abnormalities. Later, officials borrowed this allusion to illustrate the fairness and insight of their trial. Because this mirror was produced in Qin State, it is also called Qin Jing. Because of the unique function of this mirror, people often use "Qin Jing" as a metaphor for officials who are smart and good at solving cases. Later, no matter honest officials, corrupt officials or confused officials, in order to flaunt their integrity, fairness and strictness, they all hung up the plaque of "Qin Jing hanging high" in court. Later, "Qin Jing hanging high" gradually evolved into a more popular "mirror hanging high".

Zhengda Guangming plaque:

It is said that this plaque was written by Emperor Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty, and was later carved by Emperor Mole of Kangxi. Now it is copied by Emperor Qianlong again. The word "aboveboard and bright" comes from Zhouyi: "The big one is strong." "Zhengda, and the love between heaven and earth can be seen." "Just in the middle of the day, I am in the throne without embarrassment, and the light is also bright." That is to say, to make the throne stable, we must follow the example of heaven and earth and conform to human feelings, and such a rule is aboveboard. This plaque has a history of more than 3 years. Another example is that in ancient times, there were many plaques hanging in the lobby of government offices at all levels, which is also the reason why rulers know that people can carry boats or overturn them, so as to remind officials to always remember the virtue of being an official, so as to serve the people for a long time.

is it detailed enough? Hmm. How interesting
