Not as replacement, but as an alternative drawn from Chinese wisdom ...

In the dictionary, after "a platter of loose sand" or "like loose sand in a platter," the word or sign of "Chinese" is put in brackets.

I was picking up on the topic initiated by Tian Xin about a possible entry in tomorrow's dictionary. While TX suggested that the phrase "at sixes and sevens" be replaced with your version, I wanted it only to be listed as an alternative with a sign indicating "Chinese" put in brackets. Sorry for the confusion!
