Story:
Mount Lu got its name from Kuang Su, a recluse during the King Wu era of the Zhou Dynasty, who built a hut (lu) and lived there.
The mountain is surrounded by rivers on three sides, boasting majestic peaks, clear waters, and stunning scenery. Situated by the river, Mount Lu is often enveloped in mist and fog, making it difficult for people to clearly see its true appearance.
The famous poet Su Shi captured this essence in his poem "Written on the Wall of West Forest Temple," with lines that translate to: "From the side, a peak; from the front, a range; far, near, high, low, no two parts the same. I cannot tell the true shape of Mount Lu, because I myself am in the mountain."
