Later, the Lu family settled down in Fanyang Commandery, which covered present-day Beijing, Tianjin and Baoding.
[2] The first notable figure of this Lu clan was Lu Zhi, a prominent Confucian scholar and official who lived in the Eastern Han dynasty and mentored other notable figures such as Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan.
However, some historical records show that members of the Lu family disregarded laws and behaved lawlessly, so some contemporary historians have negative opinions about them.
[4][5] The Lu clan's fame and influence faded by the beginning of the Song dynasty, and it ceased to be mentioned in historical records around the end of the 10th century.
[6] Records also show that around 800, the Lu clan was still a prominent family with members occupying important posts or marrying imperial bureaucrats.
