He and his friend, the fellow poet Pi Rixiu, created a new style of matching rhyme poetry. One of them would compose a poem, and the other would then reply with a new poem using the same rhyme. His works included:
- Songlin Ji (松陵集), a collection of matching rhyme poems by Lu and Pi Rixiu
- Puli Ji (甫里集), Collection of Puli
- The Classic of the Plough, a book that described in detail the curved iron plough
Tomb
Lu Guimeng's tomb is near the Baoshen temple in Luzhi, Suzhou. Two tall ginkgo trees nearby were hand-planted by him and still stand today. The Fair Breeze Pavilion was reputed to be his favourite place for study and meeting friends.
