Work non-stop from morning till night (夜以繼日)
In Chinese history, the dynasty that lasted
the longest was the Zhou Dynasty, and the founder of the Zhou Dynasty was (Ji
Fa).
His younger brother (Ji Dan) was the most
outstanding statesman in the early Zhou Dynasty.
Because at that time the Zhou Dynasty had
just established the country, there were many laws and systems that needed to
be established.
(Ji Dan) sorted out various methods of
governing the country at that time and applied them in the Zhou Dynasty.
But these systems are not necessarily
suitable for the social environment at the time. ,
So after the implementation of these
systems, (Ji Dan) began to observe their effectiveness. And think about whether
it can still be optimized.
If (Ji Dan) finds that these systems can be
optimized, he immediately improves them.
After implementing the optimized system,
(Ji Dan) restarted to observe its effectiveness, and then continued to improve.
Therefore, (Ji Dan) helped the Zhou Dynasty
to lay the foundation for 790 years of rule.
This idiom means to work without rest from
night to day. Describes a person who works hard.

夜以繼日
(Work non-stop from morning till night)
中國歷史上，持續最長時間的朝代是周朝，周朝的開創者是(姬發)。
他的弟弟(姬旦)是周朝初期最傑出的政治家。
因為當時周朝剛建國，有很多的法律與制度需要建立。
(姬旦)整理出當時各種治理國家的方法，並且運用在周朝。
但是這些制度並不一定完全適合當時的社會環境。，
因此在這些制度實施後，(姬旦)就開始觀察其成效。並且思考是否還能在優化。
若(姬旦)發現這些制度可以再優化，他就立刻改進。
施行優化過的制度之後，(姬旦)便重新開始觀察其成效，然後持續不斷地改良。
也因此，(姬旦)幫助周朝奠定了長達790年統治的基礎。
這句成語的意思是從夜晚到白天，一直不歇息的工作。形容一個人工作勤奮。
