There are many famous brother groups in the history of Chinese literature, the three kingdoms have Cao Pi Cao Zhi, the Northern Song Dynasty has Su Shi SuRu, and the Jin Dynasty has two continents - Lu Ji and Lu Yun!

Lu Ji (261–303), courtesy name Shiheng, was a native of Wu County, Wu County (present-day Suzhou, Jiangsu), a Western Jin Dynasty writer and calligrapher, who later died in the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" and was destroyed by the three tribes. He has successively held the positions of plain internal history, sake sacrifice, and writing lang, so he is called "Lu Pingyuan". He was "a rare genius, and his articles were crowned in the world" ("Jin Shu Lu Ji Biography"), and he and his brother Lu Yunju were famous literary figures in China's Western Jin Dynasty.
▲ Lu Yun
Lu Yun (262–303), courtesy name Shilong. A native of Wu County, Jinwu County, his family lived north of Kunshan (present-day Xiaokunshan). Lu Ji's younger brother. Studious, talented, 5-year-old can read the Analects, "Poetry", 6-year-old can write articles, and brother Lu Ji is on a par with his brother.
The Erlu brothers are all Kunshan people, and today we will talk about the origin of the name of Kunshan.
In the second year of the Fifth Dynasty Liang Dynasty (536), Xinyi County was divided into Kunshan County. The old zhi said that "the county has Kunshan, hence the name".
There is no Kunshan in the current city of Kunshan, and it is said that the name of Kunshan comes from the mountain that is rich in Kunyu. Kunyu is Kunshi, formerly known as Qiaoshi, Linglongshi, Linglongshi, Kunshanshi, its quality is like jade, Xiuqiao Linglong.
▲Kunshi
It is said that the Yufeng Mountain in Kunshan produces Kunyu, the mountain of Kunyu, so it has the name of Kunshan.
It is said that the territory of Ma'anshan is Kunshan. The Qing Dynasty "Hundred Cities of Smoke and Water" contains "Ma'anshan, in the northwest corner of the city ... It resembles a saddle. It is also known as Kunshan (Kunshi), so the county is named Kunshan. ”。
The mountain was in Huating County (present-day Songjiang). Kunshan's old zhiju is named after Kunshan in Huating County. The Tang "Wu Di Ji" records that "the mountain, now twenty-three miles northwest of Huating County, covers the border of Kunshan to the county of Huating, and the name of the county is still Kun. ”
To sum up, the name of Kunshan originated from Kunshan, which no longer exists, either for the mountain that is rich in Kunyu jade, or for a mountain that was once called Kunshan. The controversial advantage is that there can be more possibilities, more legends, and thus more charm.
