Six-Foot Lane, Six-Foot Lane, fully demonstrates the power of tolerance.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Ying, a native of Tongcheng, served as an official in the court and was promoted to the rank of Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, which was equivalent to the rank of prime minister. He received a letter from his hometown, in which his family members cried and complained: the neighbor was building a house and was going to occupy the shared open space between the two mansions, and they wanted him to judge and support them. After reading the letter, Zhang Ying picked up his pen and replied, "I have come thousands of miles to write you a letter just for the wall. What's the harm in giving him three feet? The Great Wall is still here today, but Qin Shihuang is no longer here." After receiving the reply, the Zhang family gave up three feet of land without hesitation. This move deeply moved the neighbor, who then voluntarily gave up three feet of residential land. Thus, a six-foot-wide alley was formed and became a popular topic. Six-Foot Lane, Six-Foot Lane, fully demonstrates the power of tolerance. In general, "Six-foot Lane" is a historical and cultural scenic spot worth visiting. Whether you are a history lover or a travel explorer, this place will bring you a different experience and feeling.
