In Anhui Province, an about two- metre-wide alley(小巷), or "Liu Chi Xiang" in Chinese, now attracts a lot of visitors. It has a story behind it.
During the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Ying, a minister(大臣), received a letter from his family in Anhui Province one day. From the letter, Zhang learnt that his family quarrelled with their neighbour Wu because of the two sides' house boundary(边界).
Then, Zhang wrote a poem to advise the family to be generous(大度的). What he said enlightened(启发) the family members as the wall was only a little thing. It was the close relationship with their neighbours that mattered. They decided to move their wall about one metre back for their neighbour. In return, the Wu family also moved back another metre. Thus, it made an about two-metre-wide alley between the houses.
Now, the alley has become very famous because people see it as enlightenment, telling people to obey public morals(道德) and keep harmony(和谐).
