Renyi Hutong, as its name implies, comes from "Renyi". Its origin is: in the Ming Dynasty, there were two large families in Jianchangying West Street, which were next-door neighbors. The owner's surname is Ren, and the west's surname is Liang. Liang Jia wants to build an east wing, based on partition. Ren heard that this wall belongs to my family, and it is unreasonable for Liang to occupy it.
Liang Jia insisted on taking it, and the two families held their own opinions and argued endlessly. In the process of meeting each other, Ren sent a letter to his family who was an official in other places and told him about it. Soon, the official replied to the letter and went home. Ren opened the letter and read it. On it, he wrote four short poems: why not give him a few feet for only reciting a thousand miles for the wall? The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, but there is no Qin Shihuang.
Persuaded by this letter, Ren took the initiative to tell the Liang family that I would give you two feet. Liang was surprised and ashamed. He simply gave up the partition and gave in to each other from then on, but no one would change his mind. Later, an agreement was reached: the two families each made a foot from their own side of the partition wall, and then each built a wall, thus forming a new alley.
These two neighbors, Dunai, are "benevolent families". When the local government heard about this incident, it built a horizontal plaque and hung it at the alley mouth, and wrote a letter to Renyi Hutong to raise people's awareness. Since then, the righteousness of Renyi Hutong has been widely spread and passed down from generation to generation.
Residents near this hutong learned this lesson, and they began to live in harmony and respect each other. Between neighbors and brothers, any problems are solved through polite negotiation. This area is a place where Han people live together. Brothers respect each other's customs and help each other solve their difficulties.
No matter who has big events or small feelings, everyone associates like relatives. In recent years, in the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, more than 80% residents in this area have been rated as "civilized families", "five good families" and "law-abiding and honorable households". The flowers of righteousness of our ancestors have borne the fruits of today's spiritual civilization.
