Features: "The Lushan Mountain stands by the southern dipper," refers to the geographical allocation based on constellations as described by Li Bai. Lushan Mountain is located in the region of the southern dipper constellation, which is now Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. In the "Yu Gong," it is called Fu Qian Yuan, and in the "Shan Hai Jing," it is also known as Nan Ji Mountain. Legend has it that during the Western Zhou Dynasty, the seven brothers of the Kuang family built thatched huts here to live in seclusion. Later, the seven brothers ascended to immortality, leaving behind their thatched huts, which were then called the "Hut of Immortals" and also known as Kuanglu Mountain. The name "Lushan" first appeared in Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian" and has been around for over 2,000 years.
