It is also written as variant forms. Jiyun (Jiyun): Pronounced lai (falling tone), sounding like lai (falling tone). Meaning to detest or dislike. Also pronounced lian (falling tone). 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.
