A monk named Xing Hai in the Ting Song temple on Mount Hui in Wuxi asked a travelling bamboo artisan to make him a stove on which he could boil water for tea.
It was about a foot tall, with a cylindrical top and square bottom, similar in shape to the Qian Kun (Heaven-Earth) mythological pot or a cong.
They built a meeting hall and garden at the foot of Mt Hui and found the stove which had been lost and returned it to the temple.
The scroll was found again during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1662–1722) and a poet from Wuxi called Gu Zhenguan had two copies of the stove made.
This time he wrote two more poems and named its room "The Bamboo Stove Mountain Chamber".
