Liuchixia Lane, Confucian Temple, and Longmian Mountain Day Tour.

Liuchixia Lane, Confucian Temple, and Longmian Mountain Day Tour Liuchixia Lane has been very popular recently. I checked the distance on the map, and it was exactly 100 km. After getting an electric car, I always check the difference between taking the highway and not taking the highway. It takes 2 hours without taking the highway, saving CNY 38 in tolls. Taking the highway is half an hour faster, but I decided not to take the highway. So, I took National Highway 206. The scenery along the way was nice. It was drizzling, and I turned on the natural wind mode of the air conditioner. I bought breakfast on the roadside and arrived at Liuchixia Lane at about 10:40. The parking lot is opposite Liuchixia Lane. The parking fee is very cheap, CNY 3 + 1. I visited the left side first, the Wu family, which looks like the Ming Dynasty style. The house type is very nice. There is an introduction to the highlights of the Wu family in the Ming Dynasty. Most of the pavilions and buildings are modern. I like the building with a patio. Then I visited the Zhang family. I am familiar with the plot of the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty". Zhang Tingyu is very famous. He is the only Han minister in the Qing Dynasty who was honored in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The houses of the Wu family and the Zhang family are no longer inhabited by descendants and have been transformed into scenic spots. After the visit, I ate at a nearby restaurant called Maoge Beef Restaurant. It was not a trap, and the food was delicious. After the meal, I took a nap in the car and walked to the nearby Confucian Temple. This is an ancient building dedicated to Confucius. The Dacheng Hall is a mortise and tenon structure, majestic and magnificent. The statue of Confucius is located in the Dacheng Hall. Confucius is in the center, wearing a flat crown and holding a board with the Big Dipper. Facing Confucius, on the left is Mencius and Zeng Shen, and on the right is Yan Hui and Kong Ji (with a "ren" radical). Then there are 12 sages on the left and right. Among the 12 sages, I am familiar with Zilu, Zigong, and Zhu Xi. The others are not familiar to me. They are all loyal followers of Confucius. During the Cultural Revolution, the Dacheng Hall was used as a canteen and survived. Outside the Dacheng Hall, the side rooms on both sides are dedicated to the life stories of the 72 disciples of Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period. After visiting the Confucian Temple, I planned to go to Longmian Mountain. After arriving at the destination, I didn't know where the road up the mountain was. I asked several local villagers, and they all said that this area was called Longmian Mountain, but there was no road up the mountain. So, I drove a few kilometers along the mountain road and found that the scenery was very ordinary. The 2A scenic spot is probably just like an ordinary park, which is a small regret.

Tongcheng Cultural Museum

"All the articles in the world, are they not from Tongcheng?" Tongcheng Cultural Museum, located at No. 2 Longmian Middle Road, Tongcheng City, Anhui Province, covers an area of about 15,000 square meters, with a collection of more than 11,000 pieces (single items), including 7 national first-level cultural relics and 41 second-level cultural relics.

Tongcheng Six-Foot Lane

Six-Foot Lane, located in the southwest corner of Tongcheng City, Anhui Province, is 100 meters long and 2 meters wide. It was built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (1662-1722). Stone archways stand at both ends of the lane, with the characters for 'courtesy' inscribed on them. 'Thousands of miles of family letters are just for a wall, why not yield another three feet? The Great Wall still stands after thousands of miles, yet the First Emperor of Qin is nowhere to be seen.' This 'Yielding Wall Poem' originates from a historical anecdote of Six-Foot Lane. Historical records show that there was a gap next to the residence of Mr. Zhang Wenduan, which bordered the Wu family's property. The Wu family encroached upon it. Family members sent a letter to the capital, and Mr. Zhang replied with instructions to yield three feet. Upon receiving the letter, the family members withdrew and yielded three feet, and seeing this, the neighbors also yielded three feet, hence the name Six-Foot Lane. In 1956, Mao Zedong, while meeting with the Soviet ambassador to China, Eugene, quoted a poem: 'The Great Wall still stands after thousands of miles, yet the First Emperor of Qin is nowhere to be seen.' The origin of this poem is related to the 'Six-Foot Lane' in Tongcheng, Anhui.

Tongcheng Six-Foot Lane, a harmonious city renowned

Six-Foot Lane, located in the southwest corner of Tongcheng City, Anhui Province, is 100 meters long and 2 meters wide. It was built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (1662-1722). Stone archways stand at both ends of the lane, with the word 'courtesy' inscribed on them. 'A thousand miles of letters just for a wall, why not yield another three feet? The Great Wall still stands after thousands of miles, yet the First Emperor of Qin is nowhere to be seen.' This 'Yielding Wall Poem' originates from a historical anecdote of Six-Foot Lane. Historical records show that there was a gap next to the residence of Mr. Zhang Wenduan, which bordered the Wu family's property. The Wu family encroached upon it. Zhang's family sent a letter to the capital, and Mr. Zhang replied with instructions sent back home. Upon reading the letter, the family voluntarily yielded three feet of space. Subsequently, the neighbors, upon seeing this, also yielded three feet, hence the name Six-Foot Lane. During the Kangxi period, Zhang Ying served as the Grand Scholar of the Wenhua Hall and concurrently as the Minister of Rites. His family home in Tongcheng neighbored the Wu family, with an alley between their courtyards for mutual access. Later, when the Wu family wanted to build a new house and occupy this alley, the Zhang family disagreed. The dispute escalated to the local county office. The county official, considering the prestigious status of both families, dared not make a hasty decision. At this point, the Zhang family, in frustration, sent an urgent letter to Zhang Ying, asking him to intervene. After reading the letter, Zhang Ying believed in yielding to neighbors. He wrote four lines in his reply: 'A thousand miles of letters just for a wall, why not yield another three feet? The Great Wall still stands after thousands of miles, yet the First Emperor of Qin is nowhere to be seen.' After reading this, the family understood the message and voluntarily yielded three feet of land. Moved by this gesture, the Wu family also voluntarily yielded three feet of their foundation land, and thus 'Six-Foot Lane' got its name.

Tongxiang Academy

The site of Tongxiang Academy is located on Zhong Street in Kongcheng Town, thirty li east of Tongcheng City, Anhui Province.

Due to war and years of neglect, only the Chaoyang Tower and the 'Tongxiang Academy Stele' remain. The stele was written by Luo Dunyan, a Qing scholar and senior official. Tongxiang Academy consisted of several parts: Chaoyang Tower, Saifang Retreat, lecture hall, inner hall, rear hall, classroom, granary, and accounting room, with an additional 'Kuanghuai Garden' planted with a variety of exotic trees and flowers. On both sides of the academy's main gate, there are relief stone drums and stone lions, and the gate is adorned with a stone plaque inscribed with 'Tongxiang Academy' by Dai Junheng. Today, only the 'Chaoyang Tower' remains, facing east-west, 8 meters high, 12 meters long, and 7 meters wide, with a brick and wood structure, gabled roof, three bays on each of the two floors, wooden beams decorated with floral wood carvings, and wooden railings on the east and west corridors. It is an elegant and generous space for scholars to express their feelings.
