The stone couplet on Mount Hanyang Peak by Wang Yimin:
Lushan, originally known as Fushianyuan, appears in the Book of Documents·Yu’s Tribute. In 126 BC, the great historian Sima Qian climbed south to Lushan, observed Yu’s dredging of the Ji River, and included the name Lushan in his monumental work, the Records of the Grand Historian. Since then, culture has become an extremely important component and carrier of Lushan.
