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.

殿前欢·无题（一）
Like an idler I behave,
作闲人，
And wash out the dust of fame and gain in the vast wave.
向沧波濯尽利名尘，
From the capital nearby turning my head away,
回头不睹长安近。
Content with my lot and poverty as a play.
守分清贫，
Who would mind and care
足不袜发不巾，
Even if no socks or a turban I wear?
谁嗔问？
Nothing disturbs the peace of my mind.
无事萦方寸，
Mists and clouds are my companions kind,
烟霞伴侣，
Wind and moon to be neighbors I find.
风月比邻。
