The official is a college student in Wenhua Hall and a minister of rites. In the sixteenth year of Kangxi (1677), he entered the study room of Zhinan, and the history says: "Every time you follow the emperor's imperial edict, you will hand it more." He used to be the CEO of national history, unified records, deep books, political codes and the strategy of pacifying the desert. The sage tried to take power: "Zhang Ying has always been cautious and has the style of an ancient minister." Forty years after Kangxi (170 1), he pleaded for his illness and wrote to the authorities. The study wrote its own couplet: "I can't read the ancient books on the shelf, but I must keep working hard;" If you can't do all the good things in the world, you must engrave it. " [ 1]
In his later years, he lived in seclusion in Longmian Mountain, Tongcheng, Anhui Province. In the forty-fourth year of Kangxi (1705), Emperor Kangxi made a southern tour and Zhang Ying met him in Huai 'an, Jiangsu. The emperor awarded him the imperial book list and followed him to Jiangning. In the 46th year of Kangxi (1707), Emperor Kangxi made another southern tour, and Zhang Ying met him in Qingjiangpu, Huai 'an, Jiangsu, and still followed him to Jiangning. When he died, Wen Duan gave it to a teacher of Yongzheng. He is the author of Congxun Zhai Yu, Hengchan Keyhole, Wen Duan Ji and so on.

anecdote
Up to now, the story of Zhang Ying's "Liuchi Lane" is still widely circulated. Families in Zhang Ying compete with their neighbors for land. Finally, Zhang Ying sent a letter to her family. There is a poem in the letter: "A thousand miles away is a wall, why not let him be three feet?" The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, but I didn't see Qin Shihuang that year! "So the Zhang family took the initiative to retreat three feet, and neighbor Wu Dawei was moved and retired three feet, leaving a beautiful talk in Liuchi Lane. [3]
