He gained fame due to being known as the King who unearthed the old text classics (“Confucian works written prior to the Qin’s statewide implementation of a certain calligraphic style and thus also surviving the Qin bibliocaust”). King Lu commissioned a large cave-like tomb in Nine Dragon Mountains (Jiulong Shan). It had a court, crypt, and many side rooms which were filled with valuables and sealed by his descendants. His tomb was surrounded by four of his relatives whose exact identities could not be identified due to the problem of tomb looting. Also, he was not the first king to have a rock-cut tomb.
