"A thousand miles to get a 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. " Who said that?

3. Reasons for writing poetry:

During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a dispute between my hometown and my neighbor Wu family on the issue of homestead, because both homesteads were ancestral businesses, and no one would make way for them.

The two sides took the lawsuit to the county government. Because both sides are prominent aristocratic families, the county government dare not settle it easily. So the Zhang family went all the way to Beijing for help.

After receiving the book, Zhang Ying criticized a poem: "Paper books are only walls, why not let them be three feet?" . The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, but there is no Qin Shihuang. "?

The Zhang family was suddenly enlightened and gave in three feet. The Wu family was deeply moved by the scene before them, giving up three feet and forming a six-foot wide alley.
