As an idiom, "Keep up the good work" is a convention and has a certain origin. According to historical records, the game of cockfighting was widely popular in the Tang Dynasty Popular. "Keep up the good work" comes from Meng Xiao's poem in the "Cockfighting Couplet" written by Han Yu and Meng Jiao. "Continue" means "fighting"; "Li" is connected with "Li", and the nouns are used inflectedly, and it means "sharpening". It means rooster. When fighting each other, you should sharpen your tongue before each confrontation. Today, people often use "keep up the good work" as a metaphor to continue working or studying and work harder.
