Lu Zhi (1235-1314) styled Chudao or Zilao, also known by his literary name Shuzhai or Songweng. Lu was born in Zhuojun (today's Zhuo County of Heber Province). He was known by his contemporaries for both his poetry and prose writing. His book A Collection of Shuzhai has been lost. In his own time Lu's name was paralleled with that of Yao Sui for the polish of their Sanqu poetry. However Lu was the better one in this respect both in terms of the actual achievement or the influence on the age. He was good at depicting country life and giving expressions to his meditations on the past in a fresh, fluent, natural, and lively style.

An Extempore Verse Written on Wall of Deer Horn Temple at Dongting Lake to the tune of Rising Step by Step
节节高·题洞庭鹿角庙壁
Rain stops and dispersed are clouds dim,
雨晴云散，
The river is filled with the moonlight to the brim.
满江明月，
The wind is light and the wave is calm,
风微浪息，
The boat is a wafting leaf-like palm,
扁舟一叶。
Carrying at midnight an awaken heart,
半夜心，
A dream of endless life in part.
三生梦，
Separate now, to a place, so far away, remote,
万里别，
Feeling stuffy, I recline against the window of the boat.
闷倚篷窗睡些。
