The pinyin version of Luo Yin's ancient poem "Snow in the Tang Dynasty" is as follows:
"Snow" is a five-character quatrain composed by Luo Yin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem is titled "Snow", but its intention is not to chant the snow scene, but to use the topic to express the poet's anger and dissatisfaction with the rulers, and to reveal the poet's deep sympathy for the poor people.
No pictures appear directly in the poem, nor are there any vivid descriptions. But the image of the poet is very distinct. This is because the seemingly lack of image-based discussions in the poem are not only full of the poet's hatred, contempt, and anger, but also show the poet's humorous and cynical character everywhere. . It can be seen from this that it is not appropriate to have an overly narrow understanding of the image of poetry.
Luo Yin (833-909), a writer in the late Tang Dynasty. His real name was Heng, his courtesy name was Zhaojian, and his nickname was Jiangdong Sheng. He was a native of Xincheng (now Fuyang, Zhejiang), and a native of Yuhang (now Zhejiang). He became famous at a young age. However, because his poems were good at criticizing current affairs and ridiculing officials, he was not ranked among the top ten Jinshi scholars, so he changed his name to Hidden Scholar.
After the Huangchao peasant uprising broke out, he fled the chaos and lived in seclusion in Jiuhua Mountain. Later, he returned to his hometown and stayed in Zhenhai to serve as his envoy to Qian Liu, who was deeply appreciated by Qian Liu. In 887 AD (the third year of Tang Guangqi's reign), he was appointed the Order of Qiantang and moved to the post of Zuo Lang. In 906 AD (the third year of Tang Tianyou), he served as a judge for Jiedu. In 908 AD (the second year of Kaiping in the Later Liang Dynasty), he was granted the title of Shizhong. The next year, he was moved to the post of salt and iron shipping envoy. He died of illness soon after.
Luo Yin lived in a turbulent era and was suppressed for a long time. He was an outstanding poet. He had some works that satirized reality. He mostly used spoken language, so a few of his works could be circulated among the people. There is a collection of poems "Jia Yi Ji" in ten volumes handed down to the world.
