How do you interpret names of legends when you have Mirror Gallery in play?

An example is Lu Xun, Scholar General saying "Whenever Lu Xun, Scholar General deals damage to an opponent, you may draw a card.".
What if I have 4 of then in play, do I get a trigger from each of the 4 for each other one, so in fact I'd draw 16 cards?
I suspect that it's supposed to read in terms as "this" instead of the name referencing everything else when it comes to this type of thing.

But if that is the case, would Márton Stromgald actually get the benefits from each other version.
So if you had 4 Márton Stromgald would they all get +12/+12?

A card's name in its text is short for "this object"; legendary cards are no different than other ones in this respect.
