Zou Fuzi was impressed by Lu Yu's obsession and skills with tea and his skill in brewing good tea. As a tribute to Lu Yu he cleared the rock together with some of his students and dug a well around that spring.

In 1768, just over a thousand years later during the Qing Dynasty (1616–1911), Jingling was hit by drought and the whole city was badly in need of water. City folks found water still flowing from this well uncovered by Lu Yu and dug by Zou Fuzi. A Qing official ordered three wells to be dug around the spring, and a structure constructed near the wells named "Lu Yu Hut" and the "Literary Spring".
