《豫章舊志》曰：廬俗，字君孝，本姓匡，父東野王，共鄱陽令吳芮佐漢定天下而亡。漢封俗于鄡陽，曰越廬君。俗兄弟七人，皆好道術，遂寓精于宮亭之山，故世謂之廬山。漢武帝南巡，覩山以為神靈，封俗大明公。 |
| | The Yu Zhang Jiu Zhi states: Lu Su, courtesy name Junxiao, originally surnamed Kuang. His father Dongye Wang served together with Pu Yang Ling Wu Rui as an assistant in pacifying the empire for the Han dynasty and died in the process. The Han dynasty enfeoffed Su at Qiangyang, bestowing upon him the title Yue Lu Jun. Su had seven brothers; all of them were fond of Daoist practices and thus devoted their spiritual cultivation to the Gongting Mountains. Hence, the world came to call it Lu Mountain. Emperor Wu of Han, during his southern tour, beheld the mountain and regarded it as divine; he bestowed upon Su the title Daming Gong.

遠法師《廬山記》曰：殷、周之際，匡俗先生受道仙人，共遊此山，時人謂其所止為神仙之廬，因以名山矣。又按周景式曰：廬山匡俗，字子孝，本東里子，出周武王時，生而神靈，屢逃徵聘，廬于此山，時人敬事之。俗後仙化，空廬猶存，弟子覩室悲哀，哭之旦暮，事同烏號。世稱廬君，故山取號焉。斯耳傳之談，非實證也。故《豫章記》以廬為姓，因廬以氏，周氏遠師，或託盧墓為辭，假憑廬以託稱。二證既違，二情互爽，按《山海經》創之大禹，記録遠矣。 |
| | Master Yuan's "Lu Mountain Ji" states: During the transition between the Yin and Zhou dynasties, Master Kuang Su received Daoist teachings from an immortal and traveled here together. At that time, people called the place where they stayed "the dwelling of immortals," hence the mountain was named Lu Mountain. According to Zhou Jingshi: Kuang Su of Lu Mountain, courtesy name Zixiao, was originally Dongli Zi. He lived during the time of King Wu of Zhou. From birth he exhibited divine and spiritual qualities; on many occasions he evaded summons for official appointments, taking refuge in this mountain, where people at that time revered him with great respect. After Su attained immortality and ascended to heaven, the empty dwelling still remained. His disciples, upon seeing his former room, were filled with sorrow; they wept morning and night, their grief comparable to that of Wu Hao. The world called him Lu Jun, so the mountain took its name from him. This is merely a tale passed down through generations and not based on factual evidence. Therefore, the Yu Zhang Ji regards Lu as a surname; people took their clan name from Lu Mountain. The distant master Zhou Shi or others may have fabricated claims about the tomb of Lu, using the name Lu as an excuse to establish their reputation. Since these two accounts contradict each other and the sentiments differ, according to the Shanhai Jing, it was originally created by Dayu; its records are very ancient.

故《海內東經》曰：廬江出三天子都，入江彭澤西。是曰廬江之名，山水相依，互舉殊稱，明不因匡俗始。正是好事君子，强引此類，用成章句耳。又按張華《博物志·曹著傳》，其神自云姓徐，受封廬山，後吳猛經過，山神迎猛。猛語曰：君王此山近六百年，符命已盡，不宜久居非據。猛又贈詩云：仰矚列仙館，俯察王神宅；曠載暢幽懷，傾蓋付三益。此乃神道之事，亦有換轉，理難詳矣。吳猛，隱山得道者也。 |
| | Therefore, the Hainai Dongjing states: The Lujiang River originates from San Tianzi Du and flows into the Yangtze to the west of Pengze. This indicates that the name Lujiang has been established; the mountain and river depend on each other, with different names used to refer to them. It is clear that it did not originate from Kuang Su. This was precisely done by well-meaning gentlemen, who forcefully cited such examples merely to compose passages and phrases. According to Zhang Hua's "Bowuzhi · Cao Zhu Zhuan," the deity himself claimed to be surnamed Xu, who had been enfeoffed on Lu Mountain. Later, when Wu Meng passed through, the mountain god welcomed him. Meng said: "Your reign over this mountain has lasted nearly six hundred years; your mandate has now ended, and you should not continue to occupy it unjustly for long." Meng also presented a poem: "Looking up at the halls of immortals, looking down upon the dwelling of the mountain god; "Across generations, my secluded thoughts are expressed freely; I entrust my sincere friendship to three virtuous companions." These are matters of divine affairs, which also undergo changes and transformations. The reasoning is difficult to elaborate in detail. Wu Meng was a recluse who attained the Dao on the mountain.

《尋陽記》曰：廬山上有三石梁，長數十丈，廣不盈尺，杳然無底。吳猛將弟子登山，過此梁，見一翁坐桂樹下，以玉杯承甘露漿與猛。又至一處，見數人為猛設玉膏。猛弟子竊一寶，欲以來示世人，梁即化如指，猛使送寶還，手牽弟子，令閉眼相引而過。其山川明淨，風澤清曠，氣爽節和，土沃民逸，嘉遯之士，繼響窟巖，龍潛鳳采之賢，往者忘歸矣。秦始皇、漢武帝及太史公司馬遷，咸升其巖，望九江而眺鍾、彭焉。廬山之北有石門水，水出嶺端，有雙石高竦，其狀若門，因有石門之目焉。水導雙石之中，懸流飛瀑，近三百許步，下散漫十許步，上望之連天，若曳飛練于霄中矣。下有磐石，可坐數十人，冠軍將軍劉敬宣，每登陟焉。其水歷澗，逕龍泉精舍南，太元中，沙門釋慧遠所建也。其水下入江南嶺，即彭蠡澤西天子鄣也。峰隥險峻，人跡罕及。嶺南有大道，順山而下，有若畫焉。傳云：匡先生所通至江道。巖上有宮殿故基者三，以次而上，最上者極于山峯，山下又有神廟，號曰宮亭廟，故彭湖亦有宮亭之稱焉。余按《爾雅》云：大山曰宮。宮之為名，蓋起于此，不必一由三宮也。山廟甚神，能分風擘流，住舟遣使，行旅之人，過必敬祀，而後得去。故曹毗詠云：分風為貳，擘流為兩。昔吳郡太守張公直，自守徵還，道由廬山，子女觀祠，婢指女戲妃像人，其妻夜夢致聘，怖而遽發，明引中流，而船不行。合船驚懼，曰：愛一女而合門受禍也。公直不忍，遂令妻下女于江。其妻布席水上，以其亡兄女代之，而船得進。公直方知兄女，怒妻曰：吾何面目于當世也。復下己女于水中。將渡，遙見二女于岸側，傍有一吏立曰：吾廬君主簿，敬君之義，悉還二女。故干寶書之于感應焉。山東有石鏡，照水之所出。有一圓石，懸崖明淨，照見人形，晨光初散，則延曜入石，豪細必察，故名石鏡焉。又有二泉常懸注，若白雲帶山。 |
| | The Xunyang Ji states: On Lu Mountain there are three stone beams, dozens of zhang in length and less than a chi wide, with an abyss-like depth that seems bottomless. Wu Meng led his disciples up the mountain, crossed this beam, and saw an old man sitting under a cassia tree, offering him sweet dew in a jade cup. They then came to another place where several people had prepared jade paste for Wu Meng. One of Meng's disciples secretly took a treasure, intending to show it to the world. Immediately, the beam transformed into something as thin as a finger. Wu Meng ordered him to return the treasure and personally led his disciple by the hand, telling him to close his eyes while guiding him across. The mountain and rivers are bright and pure, the winds and air fresh and expansive; the climate is pleasant and harmonious, the soil fertile and the people at ease. Virtuous recluses continue to echo in the caves and cliffs; sages who hide like dragons or display their brilliance like phoenixes have all come here and forgotten to return. Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Tai Shi Gong Sima Qian all ascended its cliffs to gaze at the nine rivers and look toward Zhong and Peng. To the north of Lu Mountain is Shimen Shui. The water originates from the mountain ridge, where there are two tall stones standing upright; their shape resembles a gate, hence it is called "Shimen." The water flows between the two stones, cascading down in a suspended stream and flying waterfall. It drops nearly three hundred bu before spreading out over about ten bu at the bottom. Looking up from below, it seems to connect with the sky, as if a flowing white silk ribbon were being drawn through the clouds. Beneath it is a flat rock large enough to seat dozens of people. General Guanjun Liu Jingxuan often ascended and visited this place. The water flows through the ravines, passing to the south of Longquan Jingshe, which was built by Master Huiyuan during the Taiyuan period. The water flows downward into the southern ridge of the Yangtze, which is the Xitianzi Zhang to the west of Pengli Marsh. The mountain peaks and paths are perilously steep, with few human footprints reaching them. To the south of the ridge is a wide road that follows the mountain downward, as if painted in place. It is said: This was the path Master Kuang carved through to reach the river. There are three ruins of ancient palaces on the cliffs, arranged in succession upward. The highest one reaches to the mountain peak; below the mountain there is also a shrine, called Gongting Miao. Hence, Penghu is also known as Gongting. I have checked the Erya, which states: A great mountain is called a gong. The name "Gong" likely originates from this; it does not necessarily derive solely from the Three Palaces. The mountain shrine is very powerful; it can divide winds and split streams, halt boats to send envoys. Travelers passing by must offer respectful sacrifices before they are allowed to proceed. Therefore, Cao Pi's verse reads: "Dividing the wind into two parts, splitting the stream into two flows." In the past, Zhang Gongzhi, the Tai Shou of Wu Jun, was returning from his official duties when he passed through Lu Mountain. His children visited the shrine; a servant girl pointed and played with the statue of a concubine. That night, his wife dreamed that she had been betrothed to it, and in fear, they hastily set off at dawn. When they tried to cross the river's midstream, their boat would not move forward. Everyone on board was terrified and said: "Because of our affection for one daughter, the whole family is now suffering misfortune." Gongzhi could not bear it and ordered his wife to throw their daughter into the river. His wife spread a mat on the water and substituted her deceased brother's daughter in place of their own, after which the boat was able to proceed. Gongzhi only later discovered that it had been his brother's daughter and angrily scolded his wife, saying: "How can I face the world with such a face?" He then threw his own daughter into the water. As they were about to cross, they saw two girls on the shore. Beside them stood an official who said: "I am a clerk of Lord Lu. I respect your virtue and righteousness; therefore, I return both daughters to you." Therefore, Gan Bao recorded this story in the section on 感应 (Ganying), which means "Responses of Heaven and Earth" or "Divine Responses." To the east of the mountain is a stone mirror, from where the Shui River originates. There is a round stone on the cliff, clear and bright; it reflects human figures. When morning light first spreads, its radiance extends into the stone, revealing even the finest details—thus it is named Shi Jing (Stone Mirror). There are also two springs that constantly flow downward like suspended threads, resembling white clouds adorning the mountain.

《廬山記》曰：白水在黃龍南，即瀑布也。水出山腹，挂流三四百丈，飛湍林表，望若懸素，注處悉成巨井，其深不測。其水下入江淵。廬山之南有上霄石，高壁緬然，與霄漢連接。秦始皇三十六年，歎斯岳遠，遂記為上霄焉。上霄之南，大禹刻石誌其丈尺里數，今猶得刻石之號焉。湖中有落星石，周迴百餘步，高五丈，上生竹木。傳曰：有星墜此，因以名焉。又有孤石，介立大湖中，周迴一里，竦立百丈，矗然高峻，特為瓌異。上生林木，而飛禽罕集，言其上有玉膏可採，所未詳也。耆舊云；昔禹治洪水至此，刻石紀功，或言秦始皇所勒，然歲月已久，莫能合辨之也。 |
| | لون The Lu Mountain Ji states: The Baishui is located to the south of Huanglong; this is the waterfall. The water originates from within the mountain, cascading downward for hundreds of zhang. The rushing torrents appear like white silk hanging above the treetops; where it falls, large wells are formed, their depths unfathomable. The water flows downward into a deep part of the Yangtze River. To the south of Lu Mountain is Shangxiao Shi, a towering cliff that stretches high and seems to connect with the heavens. In the thirty-sixth year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's reign, he admired this distant mountain and thus recorded it as Shangxiao. To the south of Shangxiao, Emperor Yu carved stone inscriptions to mark its measurements and distances; even today, one can still find the name of these carved stones. In the middle of the lake is Luoxing Shi (the Falling Star Rock), which circles around for more than a hundred bu, stands five zhang high, and has bamboo and trees growing on it. The legend says: A star fell here; thus, it was named after this event. There is also a solitary rock standing alone in the middle of the large lake, encircled by one li. It rises upright for hundreds of zhang, towering and majestic, uniquely remarkable in its grandeur. Trees and woods grow on it, yet few birds perch there; it is said that jade paste can be collected from the rock, though this remains uncertain. The elders of old say: In the past, Yu controlled the floods and came here, carving stone to record his achievements. Some say it was Emperor Qin Shi Huang who inscribed them; however, as time has passed long ago, no one can clearly distinguish their origins anymore.
