The Liuchi Alley is located in Tongcheng City, Anqing, Anhui Province. It is approximately 100 meters long and 2 meters wide, paved with cobblestones. With its unique scale and name, it tells a story of humility and courtesy, and embodies the spiritual totem of “harmony as the most precious” deeply rooted in the Chinese nation. In 2006, the legend of the Liuchi Alley was included in the first list of representative items of intangible cultural heritage at the provincial level in Anhui Province. | The Liuchi Alley is located in Tongcheng City, Anqing, Anhui Province.

There are various versions of the story behind the “Liuchi Alley”, and debates among different versions have a long history. Similar stories are spread in places such as the “Liuchi Alley” in Tongcheng, Anhui province, the “Benevolence Lane” in Anyang, Henan province, the “Three-Foot Lane” in Taizhou, Jiangsu province, the Shangshu Mansion in Taining, Sanming, Fujian province, and the “Benevolence Alley” in Liaocheng, Shandong province, etc. Among these versions, the most famous and credible one is the dispute over land occupation between the Zhang and Wu families in Tongcheng, Anhui province. Records in the Tongcheng County Chronicles detail the incident. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the southern side of the alley was the residence of Zhang Ying, a Grand Secretary, and the northern side was the residence of the Wu family. On one occasion, the two families had a contradiction over the land boundary. After learning the whole story, Zhang Ying wrote a letter with the words “Why not give in three feet?” and told his family to take the initiative to cede three feet of vacant land. Deeply moved by this, the Wu family also voluntarily yielded three feet of land, thus forming this lane named “Liuchi Alley”. Gradually, the “Liuchi Alley Spirit” has accumulated and become a treasure of excellent traditional Chinese culture. | There are various versions of the story behind the “Liuchi Alley”, and debates among different versions have a long history.

Some place names in China are derived from the names of buildings. For example, “Drum Tower” streets and districts are derived from the common urban “Drum Tower” buildings, and “Zhang Family’s Mansion” and “Li Family’s Tower” are common in rural areas. Unlike ordinary lanes, Tongcheng’s Liuchi Alley is a landmark building with historical and cultural connotations and celebrity effects, and the place name “Liuchi Alley” is derived from the building itself. | Some place names in China are derived from the names of buildings.

1.Absoluteness of Scale: “Six Feet” (about 2 meters) is a scale full of ritual and cultural meanings. It can just accommodate two people to pass each other with polite bows, being the minimum physical space required for “a gentleman’s friendship”. This scale is a quantitative embodiment of “ritual”: one inch more would be extravagant, and one inch less would be cramped. | 1.Absoluteness of Scale: “Six Feet” (about 2 meters) is a scale full of ritual and cultural meanings.

2.Purity of Boundary Walls: The walls on both sides are simple black-tiled white walls and horse-head walls, representative of Huizhou-style architecture in the Qing Dynasty. However, here, they are stripped of decorative functions and exist only as “boundaries”. The walls are tall, flat, and windowless, erasing all private and decorative symbols, and highlighting their attribute as “public utensils” (walls of public lanes). The silence and neutrality of the walls contrast with the noise and disputes of the people behind the walls in those years, which ultimately returned to eternal silence and reconciliation. | 2.Purity of Boundary Walls: The walls on both sides are simple black-tiled white walls and horse-head walls, representative of Huizhou-style architecture in the Qing Dynasty.

3.Ritual Sense of Paving: The road surface is paved with blue stone slabs, which have become smooth and warm after years of polishing.

The spirit of deference is the core connotation of the Liuchi Alley story and an important part of Chinese culture. From “The function of ritual is to promote harmony” in the Analects of Confucius, “Ritual is to respect others” in the Book of Rites, to Zhang Ying’s “Why not give in three feet?” in the “Poem of Yielding the Wall”, the spirit of deference has been fully reflected in traditional Chinese culture. In daily life, deference is manifested in various aspects, such as respecting the order of elders and youngsters in family relationships, and being modest and polite in social interactions. When dealing with conflicts and disputes, deference is an important solution. Deference is not only a personal virtue but also a social code of conduct, which is of great significance for building a harmonious society. | The spirit of deference is the core connotation of the Liuchi Alley story and an important part of Chinese culture.

Integrity and frugality are the essence of excellent traditional Chinese culture, and promoting them can enhance the national vitality. “Integrity” refers to being honest and upright, and distinguishing public from private interests; “frugality” refers to being thrifty and simple, and cherishing material resources. In general, the connotation of the integrity and frugality spirit of the Liuchi Alley is an active restraint on power and desires, a higher spiritual frugality than material frugality, which realizes the maximization of personal morality, family reputation, and social benefits. | Integrity and frugality are the essence of excellent traditional Chinese culture, and promoting them can enhance the national vitality. “Integrity” refers to being honest and upright, and distinguishing public from private interests; “frugality” refers to being thrifty and simple, and cherishing material resources.

In Tongcheng, the “Liuchi Alley” culture can be seen everywhere: “stories” of deference are painted on street walls, the poem “Give in three feet” is posted in communities, and the story of the “Liuchi Alley” is included in students’ textbooks; brand activities such as the Liuchi Alley Mini-Class and the Liuchi Alley Drama Troupe are carried out relying on the New Era Civilization Practice Stations, and the civilized concept of “mutual deference and harmony as the most precious” is widely disseminated, and etc. The Liuchi Alley embodies the historical wisdom of ancestors in resolving contradictions. It should be used as an educational venue to promote excellent traditional Chinese culture, give play to the role of the Chinese nation’s traditional virtues of emphasizing deference and harmony, and create a harmonious social environment for people to live and work in peace and contentment. | In Tongcheng, the “Liuchi Alley” culture can be seen everywhere: “stories” of deference are painted on street walls, the poem “Give in three feet” is posted in communities, and the story of the “Liuchi Alley” is included in students’ textbooks; brand activities such as the Liuchi Alley Mini-Class and the Liuchi Alley Drama Troupe are carried out relying on the New Era Civilization Practice Stations, and the civilized concept of “mutual deference and harmony as the most precious” is widely disseminated, and etc. The Liuchi Alley embodies the historical wisdom of ancestors in resolving contradictions.

In the new era, the story of “the Liuchi Alley” continues. Not only in Tongcheng, but also in Huangshan, Anhui Province, the “Take a step back and think” working method has been developed based on ancient teachings. In Qufu, Shandong Province, the hometown of Confucius, a “harmony is precious” mediation room has been established in accordance with Confucian culture. In Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, a “Harmony Street” has been built to create a “Harmony and Good Governance Concentric Circle” at the grassroots level. In Fengshun, Guangdong Province, the “Ancestral Hall Talks” have been promoted to build a governance model of “joint consultation on major issues and mutual assistance on minor matters”, and etc. Those cultural sparks that have crossed time and space are igniting more sparks in the fields of the new era. The Liuchi Alley culture has been effectively integrated into modern social governance, and various places have actively explored and practiced it. The Liuchi Alley Culture Wall, the Liuchi Alley Mediation Method, and the New Era Liuchi Alley Working Method have become the genetic codes for grass-roots good governance. The vast number of leading cadres have also deeply understood this spirit, setting an example by their own conduct and treating people equally, thus laying a solid mass foundation for grassroots governance. It not only provides spiritual guidance for advancing Chinese path to modernization but also promotes the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture. We should build a community with a shared future for mankind and a community of life on Earth. The Liuchi Alley culture has provided us with many beneficial inspirations and added much spiritual strength. | In the new era, the story of “the Liuchi Alley” continues.

1.During the Qing Dynasty, on both sides of the alley lived the homes of Prime Minister Zhang Ying and the Wu family respectively. When Zhang Ying learned that the two families had a contradiction over the homestead, he did not use his power to suppress them. Instead, he wrote a letter home to persuade them, saying, “What harm is there in letting him have three feet?” The Zhang family voluntarily gave up three feet of land, and the Wu family was deeply moved and also gave up three feet. Thus, a six-foot alley was formed. | 1.During the Qing Dynasty, on both sides of the alley lived the homes of Prime Minister Zhang Ying and the Wu family respectively.

Final Exam Paper
Liuchi Alley
Introduction
The Liuchi Alley is located in Tongcheng City, Anqing, Anhui Province. It is approximately 100 meters long and 2 meters wide, paved with cobblestones. With its unique scale and name, it tells a story of humility and courtesy, and embodies the spiritual totem of “harmony as the most precious” deeply rooted in the Chinese nation. In 2006, the legend of the Liuchi Alley was included in the first list of representative items of intangible cultural heritage at the provincial level in Anhui Province.
There are various versions of the story behind the “Liuchi Alley”, and debates among different versions have a long history. Similar stories are spread in places such as the “Liuchi Alley” in Tongcheng, Anhui province, the “Benevolence Lane” in Anyang, Henan province, the “Three-Foot Lane” in Taizhou, Jiangsu province, the Shangshu Mansion in Taining, Sanming, Fujian province, and the “Benevolence Alley” in Liaocheng, Shandong province, etc. Among these versions, the most famous and credible one is the dispute over land occupation between the Zhang and Wu families in Tongcheng, Anhui province. Records in the Tongcheng County Chronicles detail the incident. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the southern side of the alley was the residence of Zhang Ying, a Grand Secretary, and the northern side was the residence of the Wu family. On one occasion, the two families had a contradiction over the land boundary. After learning the whole story, Zhang Ying wrote a letter with the words “Why not give in three feet?” and told his family to take the initiative to cede three feet of vacant land. Deeply moved by this, the Wu family also voluntarily yielded three feet of land, thus forming this lane named “Liuchi Alley”. Gradually, the “Liuchi Alley Spirit” has accumulated and become a treasure of excellent traditional Chinese culture.
Some place names in China are derived from the names of buildings. For example, “Drum Tower” streets and districts are derived from the common urban “Drum Tower” buildings, and “Zhang Family’s Mansion” and “Li Family’s Tower” are common in rural areas. Unlike ordinary lanes, Tongcheng’s Liuchi Alley is a landmark building with historical and cultural connotations and celebrity effects, and the place name “Liuchi Alley” is derived from the building itself.
Architectural Features
1.Absoluteness of Scale: “Six Feet” (about 2 meters) is a scale full of ritual and cultural meanings. It can just accommodate two people to pass each other with polite bows, being the minimum physical space required for “a gentleman’s friendship”. This scale is a quantitative embodiment of “ritual”: one inch more would be extravagant, and one inch less would be cramped.
2.Purity of Boundary Walls: The walls on both sides are simple black-tiled white walls and horse-head walls, representative of Huizhou-style architecture in the Qing Dynasty. However, here, they are stripped of decorative functions and exist only as “boundaries”. The walls are tall, flat, and windowless, erasing all private and decorative symbols, and highlighting their attribute as “public utensils” (walls of public lanes). The silence and neutrality of the walls contrast with the noise and disputes of the people behind the walls in those years, which ultimately returned to eternal silence and reconciliation.
3.Ritual Sense of Paving: The road surface is paved with blue stone slabs, which have become smooth and warm after years of polishing. The echo of footsteps on the stone slabs is particularly clear in the narrow lane, as if it were the footsteps of history, endowing the walk with a serene sense of ritual.
Threefold Connotations of the Liuchi Alley Spirit
1.Deference
The spirit of deference is the core connotation of the Liuchi Alley story and an important part of Chinese culture. From “The function of ritual is to promote harmony” in the Analects of Confucius, “Ritual is to respect others” in the Book of Rites, to Zhang Ying’s “Why not give in three feet?” in the “Poem of Yielding the Wall”, the spirit of deference has been fully reflected in traditional Chinese culture. In daily life, deference is manifested in various aspects, such as respecting the order of elders and youngsters in family relationships, and being modest and polite in social interactions. When dealing with conflicts and disputes, deference is an important solution. Deference is not only a personal virtue but also a social code of conduct, which is of great significance for building a harmonious society.
2.Friendliness
Confucianism advocates “The benevolent love others”, and the virtue of friendliness is an important ideological element in China’s traditional culture. The concept of friendliness reflected by the Liuchi Alley is an inheritance and development of previous friendliness concepts of human, and a basic value criterion for handling interpersonal relationships in today’s society.
3.Integrity and Frugality
Integrity and frugality are the essence of excellent traditional Chinese culture, and promoting them can enhance the national vitality. “Integrity” refers to being honest and upright, and distinguishing public from private interests; “frugality” refers to being thrifty and simple, and cherishing material resources. In general, the connotation of the integrity and frugality spirit of the Liuchi Alley is an active restraint on power and desires, a higher spiritual frugality than material frugality, which realizes the maximization of personal morality, family reputation, and social benefits.
Inheritance and Development of the Liuchi Alley Culture
Inheritance
In Tongcheng, the “Liuchi Alley” culture can be seen everywhere: “stories” of deference are painted on street walls, the poem “Give in three feet” is posted in communities, and the story of the “Liuchi Alley” is included in students’ textbooks; brand activities such as the Liuchi Alley Mini-Class and the Liuchi Alley Drama Troupe are carried out relying on the New Era Civilization Practice Stations, and the civilized concept of “mutual deference and harmony as the most precious” is widely disseminated, and etc. The Liuchi Alley embodies the historical wisdom of ancestors in resolving contradictions. It should be used as an educational venue to promote excellent traditional Chinese culture, give play to the role of the Chinese nation’s traditional virtues of emphasizing deference and harmony, and create a harmonious social environment for people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Development
In the new era, the story of “the Liuchi Alley” continues. Not only in Tongcheng, but also in Huangshan, Anhui Province, the “Take a step back and think” working method has been developed based on ancient teachings. In Qufu, Shandong Province, the hometown of Confucius, a “harmony is precious” mediation room has been established in accordance with Confucian culture. In Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, a “Harmony Street” has been built to create a “Harmony and Good Governance Concentric Circle” at the grassroots level. In Fengshun, Guangdong Province, the “Ancestral Hall Talks” have been promoted to build a governance model of “joint consultation on major issues and mutual assistance on minor matters”, and etc. Those cultural sparks that have crossed time and space are igniting more sparks in the fields of the new era. The Liuchi Alley culture has been effectively integrated into modern social governance, and various places have actively explored and practiced it. The Liuchi Alley Culture Wall, the Liuchi Alley Mediation Method, and the New Era Liuchi Alley Working Method have become the genetic codes for grass-roots good governance. The vast number of leading cadres have also deeply understood this spirit, setting an example by their own conduct and treating people equally, thus laying a solid mass foundation for grassroots governance. It not only provides spiritual guidance for advancing Chinese path to modernization but also promotes the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture. We should build a community with a shared future for mankind and a community of life on Earth. The Liuchi Alley culture has provided us with many beneficial inspirations and added much spiritual strength.

期末论文
六尺巷
介绍
六尺巷位于安徽省安庆市桐城市，长约100米，宽约2米，鹅卵石铺就。以其独特的尺度与名字，传颂着一段谦逊礼让的佳话，更承载了中华民族刻于骨血中的“以和为贵”的精神图腾。2006年，六尺巷传说被列入安徽省第一批省级非物质文化遗产代表性项目名录。
“六尺巷”的典故众说纷纭，不同版本之争由来已久，安徽桐城的“六尺巷”、河南安阳的“仁义巷”、江苏泰州的“三尺巷”、福建三明的泰宁尚书第、山东聊城的“仁义胡同”等，都流传着这一故事。而在多个版本中，最著名且可信的莫过于安徽桐城张、吴两家的占地之争。《桐城县志》记载了发生在这里的故事。康熙年间，六尺巷巷南为大学士张英的住宅，巷北为吴氏的住宅。一次，两家因地界发生矛盾纠纷，张英得知事情原委后写下了“让他三尺又何妨”的书信，让家人主动让出三尺空地。吴家人深为感动，也主动让出三尺地，故成此巷，名为“六尺巷”，并逐渐积淀形成了“六尺巷”精神，成为中华优秀传统文化的瑰宝。
中国地名中有一部分是以建筑物的名字命名的，如因城市里常见的“鼓楼”建筑衍生出鼓楼街道、鼓楼区，再如农村里常见的“张家大屋”“李家楼”等。桐城六尺巷不同于常见的巷道，是拥有历史文化内涵和名人效应的地标建筑，因建筑六尺巷而衍生出地名六尺巷。
建筑特色
1.尺度的绝对性：“六尺”（约2米） 是一个充满礼制与文化寓意的尺度。它刚好容纳两人彬彬有礼地拱手错身而过，是“君子之交”所需的最小物理空间。这个尺度是“礼”的量化体现，多一寸则奢，少一寸则迫。
2.界墙的纯粹性：两侧墙体为朴素的黑瓦白墙、马头墙形式，是清代徽派建筑的代表。但在这里，它们被剥离了装饰性功能，仅为“界限”而存在。墙体高大、平整、无窗，抹去了一切私人的、装饰性的符号，凸显其“公器”（公共巷道之壁）属性。墙壁的沉默与中立，反衬出当年墙后人的喧哗与争执，最终又归于永恒的静默与和解。
3.铺地的仪式感：路面铺设青石板，历经岁月打磨，光洁温润。脚步落在石板上的回响，在窄巷中格外清晰，仿佛历史的跫音，让行走其间自带一种宁静的仪式感。
六尺巷精神的三重内涵
1.礼让
礼让精神是六尺巷故事的核心内涵，也是中华文化的重要组成部分。从《论语》中的“礼之用，和为贵”，《礼记》的“礼者，敬人也”，到“让墙诗”中张英的“让他三尺又何妨”，礼让精神在中华传统中得到了充分体现。在日常生活中，礼让体现在方方面面，如家庭关系中要长幼有序，社会交往中要谦虚有礼等。在处理冲突和矛盾时，礼让更是重要的解决手段。礼让不仅是一种个人美德，更是一种社会行为准则，对构建和谐社会具有重要意义。
2.友善
儒家主张“仁者爱人”，友善品德是我国传统文化中重要的思想元素。由六尺巷折射出的友善观，是对人类以往友善理念的继承和发展，是当今社会处理人际关系的基本价值准则。
3.廉俭
廉俭是中华优秀传统文化的精髓之一，弘扬它能增强民族的精气神。“廉”指清廉正直、公私分明；“俭”指节俭朴素、珍惜物力。总的来说，六尺巷的廉俭精神内涵是一种对权力和欲望的主动克制，是一种比物质节俭更高远的精神节俭，实现了个人道德、家族声誉与社会效益的最大化。
六尺巷文化的传承与弘扬
传承
在桐城，“六尺巷”文化随处可见：街头墙壁上画着礼让故事，社区张贴着“让三尺”诗句，“六尺巷”故事被编入学生教材；依托新时代文明实践站开展六尺巷小课堂、六尺巷剧社等品牌活动，“相互礼让、以和为贵”的文明理念广泛传播……六尺巷体现了先人化解矛盾的历史智慧，要作为弘扬中华优秀传统文化的教育场所，发挥好中华民族讲求礼让、以和为贵传统美德的作用，营造安居乐业的和谐社会环境。
弘扬
新时代，六尺巷的故事仍在延续。不只是在桐城，安徽黄山依古训打造“作退一步想”工作法，孔子故里山东曲阜循儒家文化建立“和为贵”调解室，浙江台州建成“和合街区”打造基层“和合善治同心圆”，广东丰顺推广“祠堂讲事”构建“大事共商、小事互助”治理模式……那些穿越时空的文化火种，正在新时代的田野上，点亮更多星火。六尺巷文化有效融入现代社会治理之中，各地纷纷积极探索实践。六尺巷文化墙、六尺巷调解法、新时代六尺巷工作法等成为基层善治的基因密码。广大领导干部也深悟这种精神，以身作则、平等待人，为基层治理筑牢坚实的群众基础。它不仅为推进中国式现代化提供了精神指引，而且促进了中华优秀传统文化创造性转化、创新性发展。我们要构建人类命运共同体和地球生命共同体，六尺巷文化为我们提供了诸多有益启迪，增添了诸多精神力量。
