Question: ep. 40, "Guard against the heart of the evil..."
Just finished another rewatch the other day, and I was wondering about the words "Guard against the heart of the evil/Spread the virtue of the kind". What do we know about them, if anything?
I didn't run across them anywhere else in the series... are they a proverb? Are they from the novel? They're obviously extremely important to Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan, and they both know them, but I wasn't sure if there are any other clues, or if it's something we are free to just make up ourselves.
Left to my own devices, I was imagining that maybe they created or learned the phrase back in Ancient Haixing together (in all the offscreen time there we surely just didn't see :D ), which is why the reveal of the contents of the necklace made Zhao Yunlan repeat them. But that's just me improvising.
Any thoughts?

(That in every way that counts, Shen Wei hadn't been alone there in the end at all. Neither of them were.)
