essential information

There is a pot body, a pot mouth, a stone under the pot mouth, just like a wine cup. Huzui (Shannan) is engraved with the word "Hushan" and "Tomb of Lei jiuren" beside it. Leijiuren, formerly known as leimingchun, was a Confucian scholar in Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty. He is chivalrous and helpful. He has a high medical standard. He is good at poetry and literature. He is addicted to wine and will get drunk every time he drinks. He planted peaches and plums at the foot of Lushan Mountain. When the flowers bloom in spring, they are like a piece of rosy clouds. Therefore, he has the reputation of "Hushan rosy clouds", which is one of the eight continued sceneries in Guilin. Every morning and dusk, the sun shines on the rocks, and the color is gorgeous, which is quite spectacular. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, peach trees have been planted all over the mountain. When spring comes, peach blossoms are brilliant, and the river is full of purple mist.
