Liu Shu (1759-1816), Zi Xingzhi, Rong Feng, also known as Han Bi Master, Hua Bu Li Ren, Twelve Peaks Whistler and so on. A native of Dongshan, Wu County. His father, Liu Jin, served as the head of the Yunnan Department of the Criminal Investigation Department. Liu Shu early hui, weak crown can article, reputation in the township. Qianlong fifty-one years (1786) in the middle of the lift, the last five to the ceremony is not the first. The appropriate imperial court will use troops in Chuanchu and will not use people for the next time. As usual, Liu Shu paid for guangxi as a Taoist, served as a Soldier of Guangxi Youjiang, and successively represented the affairs of Liuzhou and Qingyuan, both of which had political voices and praised by the people of the state. Because of the water and soil, they returned from the disease. Liu Shu's former residence, Daixin Bay (now known as Daisong), after returning to Li, moved his home to Huabuli in the west of Suzhou City, since building Han Bizhuang, Raoquan Stone Flower and Wood Victory, Yi Craftsmen Management, Good at Winning Wuxia. Search for the strange stones of Qifeng for the twelve peaks of Hanbizhuang, usually silent color is good, only love flower stones, authored "Peony New Spectrum", "Camellia Saying", "Stone Confession", and also like to collect the famous paintings of the Law, imitation of the Qinghe Calligraphy and Painting Boat, integrated ten volumes, known as "Hanging Leak Compilation", and set ancient and modern stone carvings, between the walls where the ring lives, the morning and evening relatively self-entertainment, and now the garden of more than three hundred and eighty more than three hundred and eighty books and stones, the vast majority of which are collected by Liu. Liu Shu also engraved more than 1,500 famous yi (eight strands of essays for the examination) since the end of the Ming Dynasty, which were used to benefit future studies.

The Hanbizhuang built by Liu Shu is the site of the East Garden, which was abandoned as a kick cloth workshop in the early years, and many houses have been scattered into private residences, which are more than the scales of the houses, but the Lake Stone Peak (Guanyun Peak) is majestic and exclusive. The northwest of the house is a garden, which is said to have been rebuilt in the Chen clan, and it has changed hands many times and Rong Feng has obtained it. Garden Rao Jiazhi, Pine is the most, Wuzhu is the second, Pingchi Hanyang, a look at the mimi, because of its old and expanded, more increased the place, widely built the Scripture Hall, the collection of ancestral books, and then built a stone forest courtyard in the east gap of the hall, and also read the library, at that time, Han Bizhuang west from the stone mountain house, east to the stone forest courtyard, and Guanyun peak because it is located in the east residence of the stone forest courtyard, Liu Shu has never been able to incorporate this peak into the village. However, the garden is new through Liu Shuyi, Tang Yu Xuan Huo, Lang Yu Zhou Huan, library room, liu bin has a museum, the cave is ao and open, and the pond is curved. The bamboo color is cold, the sparkling is clear, and it is especially good at the victory of a garden.

Liu Shusu loves stone, because his former residence is under the Furong Peak in Dongshan Mountain, that is, he calls himself Rong Feng. At the time of repairing Han Bizhuang, Ruiyunfeng had already moved into the Weaving Mansion in the forty-fourth year of Qianlong, while Guanyunfeng was still outside the village. However, he still tried his best to luo zhi the twelve peaks of the strange stone, and inscribed kui su, jade girl, hat, qingzhi, tired, yiyun, yinyue, macaque, chicken crown, sleeve, cactus, and ganxiao according to the form of the stone, and asked Wang Xuehao of Kunshan to paint, Pan Yijun and others to write poems. Among the twelve peaks, except for The Ganxiao Peak, which is an axe splitting stone, the rest of the peak stones are Taihu stone, which is rumored to be a beautiful talk for a while. After Liu Shu found the Twelve Peaks, he carved a leisure chapter "Between the Twelve Peaks" and called himself "Twelve Peaks Whistler". These seals can still be seen on the calligraphy stone carvings of the Lingering Garden. Liu Shu later scattered Duxiu, Duan Jin, Jing Shuang, Yinghui, Wancui Five Peaks and two stalagmites in the courtyard of the library, calling it a small courtyard of stone forest. In addition, the peaks of the garden, such as Sun Flower and Qixia, are also Liu Shuluozhi. After obtaining the stone, Liu Shu also wrote a lot of poems about fengshi, including "Stone Forest Courtyard Saying", "Late Cuifeng Record", "Ganxiao Peak Record", "Furong Peak Knowledge" and so on. Liu Shu claimed that the stone in the garden "although it is not enough to exhaust the shape of the stone, the illusion of the rock foothills is enough to extravagant me." "Although the stone can extravagant my view, it can also help my heart." Yi Yue: Between the stones. Poetry: The stone of his mountain can attack jade. Easy to say its virtue, poetry to speak of its merits. When viewing strange stones, "the rugged one takes its strength, and the one who is rugged takes its majesty." The sharp one takes its excellence, the transparent one takes its emptiness, and the thin one takes its strength. Strength can be medicinal, majestic and zhuote can be cowardly, empty and strong can be counterfeit. "Liu Shu's use of Shi Feng's angularity, uprightness and strength as a cure for weakness, cowardice and hypocrisy is really a wonderful passage in China's stone culture. Liu Shu's Hanbizhuang has left a valuable legacy for future generations, and the three hundred or so book strip stones and dozens of large and small stone peak stones in the garden have also formed a special landscape in the garden.
