I remember one year in the Spring Festival Evening, the story of "Liuchi Lane" became a song of "Liuchi Lane", which was sung in Kyushu.
"My two walls are hundreds of meters long. Walk in the middle of morality and stand on both sides of comity station. A lane in my house is six feet wide and infinite, hidden in harmonic poetry. "
As the song says, "Liuchi Lane" originated from a letter from Zhang Ying, which is a poem.
According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, Tongcheng, Anhui Province had two families named Zhang and Wu as neighbors. This year, the Wu family expanded their house, and the Zhang family thought that they had invaded their homestead. These two families are handed down from their ancestors and are not short of money, so they can't give in to each other and can't stand each other. The lawsuit hit the yamen, giving the government a difficult problem. Both families are well-known in the local area, and the lawsuit cannot be broken. In desperation, the Zhang family wrote to North Korean officials for help. After receiving the letter, Zhang Ying didn't rush to ask and deal with this matter, but wrote a letter from home, that is, this poem. "A paper book just for the wall, let him three feet? The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, and Qin Shihuang is not seen. " Zhang Jia received a reply from Zhang Ying, understood the meaning of the poem, put down the dispute, and took the initiative to retreat three feet from his own wall and rebuild it. After hearing about it, the Wu family was moved by the humility of the Zhang family and gave up after three feet. The two families who went to court because of a wall were humble to each other, but instead made this "six-foot alley" between the two families.
So, who is this Zhang Ying who is an official in North Korea?
Zhang Ying, that's a generation of famous officials. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, he was born as a scholar, and successively served as a bachelor of imperial academy, a right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, a history of the Ministry of Industry, a history of the Ministry of Rites, and a university student of Wenhua Hall.
There was no post of prime minister in the Qing Dynasty. The university students of "three halls and three pavilions" were actually cabinet officials, and they were all senior officials, assisting the emperor in handling state affairs and doing the work of prime minister. In the "Three Pavilions and Three Pavilions", the position of the University of Wenhua Hall is second only to that of the University of Baohe Hall, which is equivalent to the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau (PSC) today, and it is a veritable senior official at the core level.
Zhang Ying is such a big official, but she is kind, humble, low-key and cultured. The ancients said, "Be cautious and invincible". At this point, Emperor Kangxi greatly appreciated, "always cautious and have the demeanor of an ancient minister."
Saint Amethyst has a proverb, "Dou Yanshan has a righteous side. Teaching five sons is famous in the world. " Zhang Ying is also a Dou Yanshan figure. Zhang is good at self-cultivation, sets an example, has a good family style and inherits it well. "Teach six sons to be famous" is even more powerful.
A generation of famous minister Zhang Yes's second son. He is also a talented scholar. He is deeply trusted by Yong Zhengdi. He is a bigger official than his father. He has served as the minister of rites, the minister of officials, the university student of Baohe Hall (cabinet record) and the minister of military aircraft. He is really below one person and above ten thousand people.
In the Qing dynasty, it was rare for a Han Chinese to sit in such a high position, which showed that his virtue was noble and his ability was superior.
He Zhang is not only excellent in himself, but also good at summarizing and refining, writing books and admonishing future generations. Among them, "From Xun Zhai Yu" and "Cheng Huai Yuan Yu" by Zhang, "their words are as simple as cloth and silk, and they are especially thorough and sincere in managing the family, cultivating oneself and treating others." Just like Zhang Jiaxun, future generations follow the rules and styles and pass them on from generation to generation, the more prosperous the family will be.
Therefore, "within one door, grandparents and grandchildren successively entered the south study, from Kangxi to Qianlong. After decades, this is unprecedented. "
Zhang and his son are admirable!
