“A winding stream connects the well, twenty years of dedication to the Liao Zhai.“ As the couplet on both sides of the gate of his former residence says, Mr. Lu Dahuang dedicated his life to the collection, organization, research, and editing of Pu Songling's works. Despite many setbacks, he remained steadfast and ultimately became a great cultural figure, leaving a significant mark in the annals of human cultural history.

　　侠肝义胆，倾其所有守护国之文脉

　　Chivalrous and righteous, he dedicated all to safeguard the cultural veins of the nation

　　“守藏之责，重于守土”。在路大荒先生看来，守住文稿，也是守住了国之文脉，与战士守土同等重要。在战火纷飞的年代里，他用“鲁壁藏书”的手法，把珍贵的蒲松龄手稿藏于墙壁中，隐居在明府城老街。1963年，67岁的路大荒把珍藏多年的《聊斋文集手稿》捐献给山东省图书馆，成为镇馆之宝。

　　“The responsibility of preserving cultural heritage is heavier than guarding the land itself.“ In the eyes of Mr. Lu Dahuang, safeguarding manuscripts was akin to guarding the nation’s cultural lifelines, as important as soldiers defending the territory. In the era of war and chaos, he employed the method of “hiding books in the wall,“ concealing precious manuscripts of Pu Songlingand living in seclusion in the old streets of Jinan’s Mingfu City. In 1963, at the age of 67, Lu Dahuang donated the long-cherished Liao Zhai Manuscriptsto the Shandong Provincial Library, where they became the treasure of the collections.

　　斯人已逝，风范长存

　　Though the man has passed, his legacy endures
