Textual Research:
Fengsu Tong: Lu was a city in the Qin state. Its magistrate was enfeoffed in Lu, and thus adopted it as a clan name. The History of the Former Han mentions Marquis of Mengxiang Lu Pu, and Wang Mang's Minister of War Lu Bing, and in the Records of Later Zhao, Lu Ming. I respectfully note that Lu Bing was incorrectly written as Lu Pu; the Marquis of Mengxiang and the Minister of War were the same person and should not be separated into two. Following the Biography of Zhai Fangjin in the History of the Han (Hanshu), Lu Pu has been corrected to Lu Bing. Regarding Wang Mang's Minister of War Lu Bing and the Records of Later Zhao's Lu Ming, this has been corrected according to the note on the character lu in the Guangyun, referencing the Gold and Purple Grand Master Lu Ming in the Records of Later Zhao.
