During the Yuan Dynasty in China, there was
a poet named Lü Zhi'an. Although his life is not recorded in historical books,
his poems have been collected and passed down to this day.
One of his poems translates as follows:
'Nothing or no one in this world can bind
me; nothing is more important than peaceful sleep.'
I usually wake up when the red sun shines
on the astronomical instrument used for recording time and the shadow of the
rod on the instrument reaches the third division of daylight marked on the
ground.
The things that bring me true joy in life
are writing poetry, drinking Chinese rice wine, playing the guqin (a
traditional Chinese stringed instrument) and playing Go.
I am very happy because my young child and
my simple wife are by my side.
To me, power, money and fame are illusions;
good health is the most important thing.
I am happy because I don't toil and
struggle everywhere, chasing illusory external things.
Now I live happily every day, doing what I
love. I nourish my soul, and I live with a smile every day. I believe that this
way of life is more valuable than spending a lifetime chasing power, money and
fame.
The idiom literally translates as 'At the
exact moment that the red sun shines on the astronomical instrument used for
recording time, the shadow of the rod on the instrument will reach the third
division of daylight marked on the ground.'.
It is used to describe someone who sleeps
until almost noon.
It is used to describe someone who is
extremely lazy and undisciplined.

紅日三竿(At the exact moment that the red sun

the rod on the instrument will reach the third division of daylight marked on
the ground.)
紅色的太陽照射到紀錄時間的那個天文儀器上時，天文儀器上的那根竿子的影子到達地上所標示的白晝的第三等分的刻度的那個時刻。
中國的元王朝有一個詩人，他的名字叫做呂止庵。他的生平在歷史書上沒有任何紀錄，但他所寫的詩被收錄在詩集中並且流傳至今。
其中有一首詩的大概意思如下。
這世界上並沒有任何人事物可以讓我感到束縛，沒有任何事情比能夠安穩的睡覺更重要。
我每天起床的時刻大都在紅色的太陽照射在紀錄時間的那個天文儀器上、天文儀器上的那根竿子的影子到達地上所標示的白晝的第三等分的刻度的那個時刻。
我的這一生中，可以讓我的內心感到真正愉悅的東西就是寫詩、喝中國米酒、談中國古琴與下圍棋。
我感到非常的幸福，我那個年紀還很幼小的孩子和我那個樸實的妻子在我的身邊陪伴著我。
對我來說，權力與金錢還有名聲都是虛幻的，身體的健康才是最重要的。
我感到很幸福，因為我沒有為了追求那些虛幻的東西身體之外的東西而到處辛苦地奔波與忙碌。
我現在每天開心的生活與做我自己喜歡做的事情，我讓我的靈魂感到高興、我每天都過著笑容滿面的生活，我認為這種生活方式比窮極一生追逐權力、金錢還有名聲更有價值
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是紅色的太陽照射在紀錄時間的那個天文儀器上的那根竿子的影子到達地上所標示的白晝的第三等分的刻度的時候。
這句成語被用來形容一個人睡到很接近中午才起床。
這句成語被用來形容一個人非常的懶散與沒有紀律。
