Unknown exactly when built, this shrine was not mentioned in Gao Ruxing’s writings on Jinci. According to Liu Yongde, an Ancestor Lü Ge-pavilion was already built in the 38th year of Kangxi’s reign (1689). In an inscription dated to Qianlong 28 (1763) both Chaoyang Cavern and a Duke Lü Ge are mentioned.
