Lu Village, overshadowed by the fame of Hongcun, is tranquil and simple, a treasure in my heart

Lu Village, also known as Zhishan Village, is located on the south side of the important traffic route of Yangzhanling. According to the 'Lu Family Genealogy of Zhishan in Yixian County', the Lu family shares the same origin with the Jiang family, with the ancestors of the Lu family originally ennobled in Qi by the Grand Duke. Later descendant Jiang Gao, due to the chaos of war, once foraged in the reeds, and to ensure that his descendants remembered the hardships, they adopted Lu as their surname. During the time of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Lu Ban made significant contributions to the founding of the nation and was ennobled as the King of Yan, with his fief located in Zhuo County of Hebei, later renamed to Fanyang County. His descendant Lu Dongmei's son Lu Yi moved to Xuancheng, Anhui. Lu Yi's son, Lu Zhen, moved to Ge Village in Taiping County, which is now the area around Guo Village in Huangshan District. Lu Zhen had three sons, and the third son, Lu Xuan, was so enamored with the beautiful mountains and fertile lands to the north of Yi that he moved from Ge Village to Zhishan at the end of the Southern Tang Dynasty, becoming the progenitor of the Zhishan Lu family, a history that spans over a thousand years.
