Luo Yin's translation of Thoughts:
What else can I do if I stay in Chang 'an looking haggard and depressed? It really makes people doubt that I am destined to be down and out. The tall and green Zhongnanshan is blocked in front of me, and I want to return to the sun; I was lying in a bed that had not been dusted for a long time, and my tears were streaming down my face.
I hope that a skilled craftsman can carve my jade material (I hope that a knowledgeable examiner can train and promote himself); I'm afraid I'm terminally ill, and even the skilled Qin medical doctor can't help it. Life is only seventy years, I have reached thirty, and I have been miserable since then, and my future is bleak.
Luo Yin's literary creation:
According to the theme, Luo Yin's poems can be divided into four categories: poems dedicated to history, poems given as gifts, poems dedicated to travelling and poems dedicated to things. The genre forms are mainly seven-character metrical poems and seven-character quatrains, while five-character metrical poems, five-character quatrains and Yuefu poems are few in number and have low literary value. Among them, the most important ones for later generations are the seven-character poems and seven-character quatrains that chant history and meditate on the past.
What Luo Yin's poetry critics appreciate most is his sorrowful and cold poems about history and nostalgia. Luo Yin's poems about history and nostalgia inherited the tradition of Zuo Si's poems about history, satirized the present with the help of the past, and turned over the verdict skillfully, which was unique among many mediocre poems about history and nostalgia in the late Tang Dynasty.
Volume 3 of Ying Kui Lv Sui written by Fang Hui of Yuan Dynasty, "One-Seven Words about Nostalgia" * * contains 78 poems about history and nostalgia by poets in Tang and Song Dynasties, and Luo Yin alone accounts for eight, which shows that his artistic achievements in history and nostalgia are valued by later generations.
