Although not leave any father-son prime minister hardware wealth for posterity, but they left by the spiritual wealth is great, such as the simple six feet lane, six feet in anhui TongChengShi urban roadway within the old west corner.
Here it is qing dynasty mandarin temple university autumn, WuYingDian university ZhangTingYu fortresses, known as the "ZhangGuXiang fu". Phase mansion existing remains much, except for a few into deliberately kept old house outside, this article is six feet lane. Of course, the old house and lane filled up with many mostly old. Autumn, ZhangTingYu father-son officer are very big, ZhangTingYu also became a ShouFu minister, reason has prime minister said. City people habit says for "autumn old prime minister," says ZhangTingYu for "small prime minister".
As the father and son, zhang han in qing dynasty, the big amidst rule get such high-ranking officials, the reality is rare. This except their bellyful of learning, the wit to court and smart loyalty outside, the weight tolerance mannered, is also one of the important reasons. Because of this, just made a few emperors trust. Autumn elderly to hometown, kangxi gave Kilimanjaro al "distant dust less, idle time in long". Don't like you in the rest, and like old friends give vassel 1753 between. Of course, that their weight tolerance and cautious attitude, not only for the royal family, in handling neighborhood her housework also reflected.
The six feet lane's story, is a card. The six feet lane is now restore 100 meters wide, long, two meters, 2 meters high five. White wall, QingWa lane is between pebble spread ground, antique. Lane at each end a memorial arch, engrave has "comity", "YiDe remain" such words. Into the long lane, slowly walking, feel seemed both nihilistic really. It lets you open-minded, part is prime minister belly can punting magnanimous. Zhang father-son prime minister officer are incorruption. They breeze, GaoLao to return two sleeve performers, besides the emperor outside, don't have much reward things.
Autumn home coming after emperor reward with a handful of silver and gold, in LongMian mountain double brook built house, named "given", JinYuan check-in there, ishi mu body in favor of emperor dances. After the world called the "phase mansion", actually is, from residual ma3 residential building view, also are common, and no high-rise poor costly. Someone imagined, if the father and son prime minister is corrupt official, house JuWan, building booms, build some high-rise big cabinet, luxurious garden, indefinite leave a for today for tourism development of assets. But, again, although not leave any father-son prime minister hardware wealth for posterity, but they left by the spiritual wealth is great.
If the simple six feet lane. Lane end a cultural relic protection monument, positive engrave has three characters "six feet alleys", the reverse side engrave has a text: "the tongcheng county annals office slightly" load ZhangWen DuanGong curtilage ismay: XiDe, and WuShi neighbors, the use of WuShi. ChiShu yudu, male family, cloud in batch poem: "one paper books for wall, let him three feet, why not. The Great Wall in WanLiJin judah and not see that qin shihuang. 'family see book, hence uninstall let three feet. WuShi smell feeling its righteousness, also concession three feet, hence into six foot of lane." ZhangWen DuanGong namely is old prime minister autumn, died Shi "wen end". This is the origin of the six feet lane. The six feet lane is in tongcheng among knows. So, tongcheng unfavourably generally appear more have demeanor, more can more let. "Self-surrender is a subject, learn to self-surrender learns to life, understands the self-surrender is understand life."
“父子宰相”為張英、張廷玉；他們為安徽桐城人。
父子宰相雖沒留下什麽硬件財富，但他們為後世所留下的精神財富卻是巨大的，如那條簡簡單單的六尺巷，六尺巷在安徽桐城市城區之內的老城西南隅。
這裏原是清代文華殿大學士張英、武英殿大學士張廷玉的家宅，人稱“張家相府”。相府現有的遺存不多，除了幾進刻意保存的舊房子之外，就是這條六尺巷了。當然，舊房子和巷子都裝滿了諸多前朝舊事。張英、張廷玉父子官都做得很大，張廷玉還當上了首輔大臣，故有宰相之稱。邑人習慣稱張英為“老宰相”，稱張廷玉為“小宰相”。
作為漢人的張氏父子，在滿人統治的大清朝，獲得如此高官，實不多見。這除了他們的滿腹學問、機智聰敏和對朝廷的耿耿忠心外，為人處事的隱忍寬容，也是重要原因之壹。正因為如此，才取得了幾代帝王的信任。張英年邁乞歸故裏，康熙賜聯“遠處塵埃少，閑中歲月長”。倒不似君賜臣子，而像老朋友間的贈言了。當然，他們這種隱忍寬容和謹慎處事，不僅對於皇室，在處理鄰裏家事時也體現出來。
六尺巷的故事，就是壹證。 六尺巷現已恢復，長百米，寬兩米，高兩米五。粉墻青瓦，巷子中間為鵝卵石鋪地，古色古香。巷子兩端各有壹座牌坊，鐫有“禮讓”、“懿德流芳”等字樣。走進那長長的巷子，緩緩地前行，感覺似乎既虛無又實在。它讓妳心胸開闊，有幾分宰相肚裏能撐船的大度。張氏父子宰相為官皆清廉。他們清風兩袖進京，告老還鄉時，除了皇帝賞賜之外，別無多物。
張英歸鄉之後，用皇上賞賜的為數不多的金銀，在龍眠山的雙溪蓋了棟房子，名“賜金園”，入住那裏，以示沐身於浩蕩皇恩之中。後世人所稱的“相府”，其實是張家住宅，從殘留的建築來看，也皆普通，並無高樓廣廈的奢華。有人設想，若父子宰相是貪官，家財巨萬，大興土木，造些高樓大閣、豪華的園子，不定還為今天留下壹片可供旅遊開發的資產。但是，話又說回來，父子宰相雖沒留下什麽硬件財富，但他們為後世所留下的精神財富卻是巨大的。
如那條簡簡單單的六尺巷。巷子盡頭有壹塊文物保護碑，正面鐫有三個大字“六尺巷”，背面鐫有壹段文字：“《桐城縣誌略》載：張文端公宅旁有隙地，與吳氏鄰，吳氏越用之。家人馳書於都，公批詩於後，雲：‘壹紙書來只為墻，讓他三尺又何妨。長城萬裏今猶在，不見當年秦始皇。’家人見書，遂撤讓三尺。吳氏聞之感其義，亦退讓三尺，遂成六尺之巷。”張文端公即是老宰相張英，去世後謚“文端”。這也就是六尺巷的來歷了。六尺巷在桐城人中可謂婦孺皆知。所以，桐城人處世壹般都顯得較有風度，較能更多的容讓。“忍讓是壹門學問，學會忍讓就學會了生活，懂得忍讓就懂得人生。”
