Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, said: This means that water can make a ship float or capsize. The people are like water, and the monarchy is like a boat. The people can support your regime or overthrow it, warning the ruling class to be diligent, love the people and be benevolent. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and he who loses the hearts of the people loses the world. He was able to realize this because he witnessed the peasant uprising that overthrew the Sui regime at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

The Treaty of Nebuchadnezzar Chu was signed on 1689. Its historical significance lies in that it is an equal treaty, which is the result of equal consultation between the two sides and concessions made by the Qing government. The conclusion of the treaty laid the foundation for the normalization of Sino-Russian relations, safeguarded China's territorial integrity, and made China's northeast frontier have a relatively long-term peace.
