Su Zhe, Poem of the Leisure Swallow Pavilion: The precarious pavilion stands on the mountainside, where the scenery changes as one moves. This joy is known only to oneself, let others be suspicious and lazy.
Note: According to the Zhengzitong (Zhengzitong), the character for lazy does not exist within the Six Writings. The explanation for the common character for lazy is often conflated; describing it as a vulgar form is incorrect. The original character was derived from the phonetic lai.
