Founded in the second year of Yuan You in the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1087), it was formally founded by Lu Dazhong, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty (Lantian, Shaanxi). After collection from generation to generation, its scale gradually expanded, and it was called "Forest of Steles" in Qing Dynasty.
