“Ruru,” a Buddhist term, denotes a sublime state of harmonious integration, free from stagnation. Here, to the north rises Cuiping Peak, flanked by the east–west‑extending Fuxing Ridge; three sides are encircled by rolling hills, coalescing into an intimate, secluded natural setting. To the south, the vista unfolds in broad, open expanse—a scenic haven where seclusion and openness converge, a site of auspicious feng shui, unobstructed yet nurturing, capable of gathering and sustaining the earth’s vital energy. A poem captures its essence: “Ruru—just as if the six sense organs had been transplanted; all five realms dissolve into the verdant screen; auspicious clouds recline upon the pavilion, threading through the windows; and a single spring pool overflows with mountain fish.”
