It is good to practice in public, but it is not surprising to knock at the door in the middle of the night;
Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and enemies will be enemies.
This poem Zhuzhici is a collection of folk proverbs. It means that people who work in public doors (officials) should practice in public doors. As long as they act fairly and correctly, even if someone knocks at the door in the middle of the night, they have a clear conscience and are not surprised at all. When a person is alive, doing good deeds and doing evil deeds will always be rewarded in the end.
