* This memorial arch is dedicated to Lu Rui (盧睿, 13th gen., 1390-1462), the first metropolitan graduate of the Yaxi Lus. After him, the Yaxi Lus produced six more metropolitan graduates in the Ming and one in the Qing. Lu Rui’s three grandsons became provincial graduates and were commemorated by the “Memorial Arch for the Triplets”.
