Luo Yin
Luo Yin ( Chinese 羅隱 / 罗隐 , Pinyin Luó Yìn ; * 833 in Yuhang ; † 909 , eigtl. Luo Heng) was a Chinese writer who wrote essays and poetry .
Luo Yin failed to pass the capital city exam several times and then withdrew to his homeland.
Luo Yin's work, much of which has not survived, includes poetry and prose, often relating to historical events and regional subjects, many of which are religious in nature, e.g. B. local deities, spirits and shamans or religious festivals. Allegories and pessimism are noticeable components of his works, and these are mostly viewed as satirical , but this is considered a one-sided view.
Luo Yin collected his literary works from 867 in the Chanshu ("defamatory writings"), five Fu poems by him have been preserved and he served as a kind of court clerk at the court of Qian Liu .
