It is said that in 1807 (the twelfth year of Jiaqing), when Luo Dian went to the Lu Ming banquet again, a Taoist priest came to the courtyard and said that he was good at writing and could poetry. Seeing that he was a Taoist priest, he was not formally received. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest picked up a broom, dipped it in yellow mud and water, and waved it into the word "Shou" on the right wall, and left without saying goodbye. The characters are like dragons and snakes winding around, strong and powerful, and are known as "immortal traces." Later, striving to be symmetrical between the two walls, Luo Dian added the word "Fu" on the left wall.

There is a double-sided screen in the Hexi Terrace. One side is painted with a plan of the restored Yuelu Academy, and the other side contains poems written by Zhu Xi, Zhang Wei, Wang Shouren and Mao Zedong

The main gate (main entrance) was built in the Ming Dynasty. The "Yuelu Academy" on the forehead of the main gate was personally inscribed by Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. The original version was destroyed during the Anti-Japanese War and was reproduced in 1984 based on historical photos.
