How did Six Feet Lane come about? What does it teach us?

The story of Six Feet Lane has actually been circulated among the people for a long time, saying that a person and his neighbor refused to give in to each other in order to fight for a three-foot foundation, and even wrote a letter to her husband, who was an official in the capital. After the husband knew the reason, he replied to a letter, telling his wife to be more generous, just let it out, and there should be more humility between people. After receiving the reply, the wife let out the three-foot space, and the neighbor also understood this truth after knowing it, so he also gave up the three-foot space of his house, so this is the origin of Six Feet Lane.

1. Zhang Ying's wife sued her neighbor. Six feet lane is located in Tongcheng, Anhui Province, but on the other side of the box is the hometown base of Prime Minister Zhang Ying, and to the north is Wu's homestead. After Zhang Ying became the prime minister in the capital, his wife wanted to clean up the house at home, but because of the dispute with the neighbor Wu because of the territory, no one was willing to step back, so Zhang Ying's wife wrote a letter to her husband, hoping that her husband, who was an official in the capital, could help herself seek justice by virtue of her rights.

Second, Zhang Ying replied to the letter, and should be humble. After Zhang Ying received the letter from his wife, he felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, after all, there was such a big letter, but it was full of complaints, not to mention the pain of lovesickness between the two, they all hoped that he could come forward to get back the trivial matter of the courtyard wall, so Zhang Ying wrote a reply:

The book of thousands of miles is only for the wall, so why not let him be three feet? The Great Wall is still there, and Qin Shi Huang is not seen.

This poem tells his wife, you write a letter so far away just for a wall, even if you let three feet less, what can you lose? The Great Wall is so majestic that the project is here, what about Qin Shi Huang? When Zhang Ying's wife received the reply, she took the initiative to give up the three feet, and the Wu family also took the initiative to give up the three feet, so now it has become Six Feet Lane.

This incident is to tell us that we can't be careful, we must know how to be humble, so that we can make life better, and we should be more tolerant and understanding of others, and take a step back to broaden the sky.

The formation of the six-foot alley is because in ancient times, there was a family and neighbors because of the problem of the boundaries of the house, and the book was repaired to **, ** replied that "the Great Wall is still there today, and I don't see the first emperor of Qin back then", and they suddenly realized, each gave three feet, forming a six-foot alley. This story tells us that we must take a step back and inherit the virtues of harmony and humility of the Chinese nation.

Six-foot Lane is because of the conflict between two people repairing the house, and finally after mediation, one person gave up three feet, so it became Six Feet Lane. Tell us not to be competitive when we encounter things, but to take a step back and open the sky.

It is the neighbors on both sides of the alley who have each shrunk their courtyard walls inwards by 3 feet, adding up to 6 feet, which means that the neighbors should live in harmony with each other.

Six Feet Lane"The reason why the allusion has become a historical story stems from the land dispute between the Zhang family and their neighbors.

During the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Ying served as a scholar of Wenhuadian University and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites. The official residence of his hometown of Tongcheng is adjacent to the Wu family, and there is an alley between the two courtyards for both sides to enter and exit. Later, the Wu family wanted to build a new house and wanted to occupy this road, but the Zhang family did not agree.

The two sides disputed and took the lawsuit to the local county office. The county magistrate considered that the two families were famous families, so they did not dare to break it off easily.

At this time, Zhang's family angrily wrote an urgent letter to Zhang Ying, asking him to come forward to solve it. After reading the letter, Zhang Ying thought that he should be humble to his neighbors, and he wrote four sentences in his reply to his family: Thousands of miles of books are only for the wall, so why not let him be three feet?

The Great Wall is still there, and Qin Shi Huang is not seen. After reading it, the family understood the meaning and took the initiative to give up the three-foot open space. Seeing this, the Wu family was deeply moved, and also took the initiative to give up the three-foot house base"Six Feet Lane"Hence the name.

Extended information: Six Feet Lane starts from West Back Street in the east and reaches Baizitang in the west. The south of the lane is the mansion of Prime Minister Zhang Ying, and the north of the lane is the house of the Wu family, with a total length of 100 meters and a width of 2 meters, all of which are paved with cobblestones.

The main building of "Six Feet Lane" includes the laneway, the "Lirang" stone archway in the east and the "Yide Liufang" stone archway in the west, the leisure square, the poetry and painting wall, the rockery, etc.

As a new carrier of culture, the spirit of humility and courtesy contained in its allusions is actually the spirit of traditional Chinese culture, and its "wide" is not wide on "six feet", but "Hengchai wide" in people's spiritual realm and harmonious spirit of courtesy. Although the root cause of the cultural connotation of Six Feet Lane is limited to the personal morality of Zhang Ying and the Wu family, it highlights how the official attitude towards the people, the position of the conflict of interests, and the way to resolve the contradictions, which is a model for handling the relationship between the government and the people in an era.

1. The story of "Six Feet Lane" tells the story of two neighbors who fought for land to build houses in ancient times, and one of them wrote to his brother who was an official in the capital, asking for intervention. But his brother's reply only wrote: "Thousands of miles of books are only for the wall, so why not let him be three feet?"

The Great Wall is still there, and Qin Shi Huang is not seen. His brother listened to the persuasion of his brother, and when building a house, he gave way to sell socks three feet, and as a result, he moved the other party and also gave way to build a house.

2. This story tells us that tolerance and comity are a hidden virtue in our lives.

According to the records of Tongcheng County, in the Qing Dynasty (Kangxi period), the old family of Zhang Ying, a scholar of Wenhuadian University and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, had a dispute with the neighbor Wu family over the issue of the homestead. People who want to take advantage are not afraid of foolish calculations, and they often trust their iron abacus too much. The dispute between the two families abruptly started, the public said that the public was reasonable, the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and no one refused to give in to each other.

Because of the involvement of Lord Shangshu, the government and others did not want to get involved in right and wrong, and the dispute became bigger and bigger, so the Zhang family had to tell Zhang Ying about it. The family flew to the capital and asked Zhang Ying to greet and "settle" the Wu family.

When Lord Zhang Ying read the letter, he just smiled with relief, and the people next to him looked at each other, inexplicably. I saw Mr. Zhang waving a big pen, and a poem was swept away. The poem says:

The book of thousands of miles is only for the wall, so why not let him be three feet? The Great Wall is still there today, and Qin Shi Huang is not seen. "Give it to the person who came, and take it back to your hometown quickly.

When the family saw the letter back, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that Zhang Ying must have a tough way or a clever plan, but what the family saw was a limerick poem, and they were very disappointed. Later, a total, there is indeed only the only way to "let", real estate is a very valuable family property, but it can't be facing, it is better to let three feet see. So they immediately mobilized to tear down the wall, and everyone praised Zhang Ying and his family for their open attitude.

Zhang Ying's behavior is in line with the old saying: "The prime minister can hold the boat in his belly." The forbearance of the Shangshu family moved the neighbor's family to tears, and the whole family unanimously agreed to step back the wall three feet.

The dispute between the two families quickly subsided, and between the two families, there was an empty alley, six feet wide, half of the Zhang family, and half of the Wu family. So there was an alley six feet wide between the courtyard walls of the two houses. Villagers can pass through it freely.

Hence the name Six Feet Lane.

The story of Six Feet Lane tells the world: be generous and self-denying. This story illustrates that tolerance and treating others as a virtue have a long history from ancient times to the present.

People who are open-minded and courteous are admired by the world. In the process of building a harmonious society, this tradition of humility and courtesy needs to be carried forward all the more. The allusion of "Six Feet Lane" has now far exceeded its original intention and has become a witness to the virtue of harmony and humility of the Chinese nation.
