Mount Lu or Lushan is a mountain situated in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province. Mao Zedong convened three large conferences of senior party officials in a resort at Mount Lu, in 1959, 1961, and 1970. The 1959 Lushan conference saw the purge of Peng Dehuai, who was critical of Mao's Great Leap Forward policies. The 1970 Lushan Conference took place during the Cultural Revolution, and marked the increasing antagonism between those loyal to Mao and those loyal to his chosen successor Lin Biao.
