Historical allusions:
The story of "Liuchi Lane" became a historical story because of the land dispute between the Zhang family and its neighbors.
During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Ying served as a university student and minister of rites in Wenhua Hall. The official residence of my hometown Tongcheng is adjacent to the Wu family, and there is an alley between the two courtyards for both sides to use. Later, the Wu family wanted to build a new house and take this road. The Zhang family disagreed. The two sides were at loggerheads and took the lawsuit to the local county government. Considering that both families are famous families, the county magistrate dare not end it easily. At this time, the Zhang family angrily wrote an urgent letter asking him to come forward to solve it. After reading the letter, Zhang Ying thought he should be modest to his neighbors. In his reply to his family, he wrote four sentences: a thousand miles of books are just separated by a wall. Why not let him be three feet? The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, but I haven't seen Qin Shihuang. After reading it, the family understood the meaning and offered to give up three feet of open space. Wu Jia was deeply moved by this scene and offered to give up the three-foot homestead, hence the name "Six-foot Lane".
