Luo Yin

Luo Yin (833-909), courtesy name Zhaojian, was a native of Xincheng (now Xindeng Town, Fuyang City, Zhejiang Province) and a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Born in 833 AD (the seventh year of Taihe), he came to the capital at the end of the 13th year of Dazhong (859 AD) and took the Jinshi examination, but failed in the seventh year. In the eighth year of Xiantong (AD 867), he compiled his own text as "The Slanderous Book", which became more and more hated by the ruling class, so Luo Gun sent a poem and said: "Although the slanderous book is better than one name, Hugh". Later, I took the exam intermittently for several years, and took the exam more than ten times in total. I claimed that I was "in the exam period for 12 or 13 years", but in the end I failed, and it was known in history as "the top ten but not the best". After the Huangchao Uprising, he fled the chaos and lived in seclusion in Jiuhua Mountain. In the third year of Guangqi's reign (887 AD), he returned to his hometown at the age of 55 and joined Qian Liu, King of Wuyue, and served successively as Qiantang Ling, Si Xun Langzhong, and Gishi Shizhong. He died in 909 AD (the third year of Liang Kaiping's reign after the Five Dynasties) at the age of 77.
