In the ninth year of Hongzhi (1496), Liu Xun, the magistrate of Wugang, was put into prison for yingyu, the king of min. he was also put into prison after giving advice to Pang pan and the imperial historian Liu Shen. Luo Jin said: we should handle state affairs with a tolerant attitude. In the 11th year, eunuch Li Guang offended the Empress Dowager and committed suicide. He left a book about the minister's association with him. Xiaozong was very angry and ordered the official to impeach his party members. Luo Shangshu said that the minister should not be punished by a suicide note alone, otherwise the innocent will be harmed. As long as the secret investigation is carried out, if it is true, the case will be ordered to lead to illness or be rebuked by others, so as to avoid people's self-danger and loss of respect. In the 18th year of Hongzhi, Li Mengyang, the doctor of the Ministry of household affairs, responded to the imperial edict and was falsely sentenced to prison by Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning. Luo Li preserved his appeal. Luo Li was promoted to be an official. In 1506, he was promoted to Shaoqing of Taichang temple in Nanjing. Liu Jin, the eunuch, disobeyed the government, and Li Dongyang kept the good people in secret. All the people in the world were protected by him, but most of the dignified people blame him. Although Luo Li was recommended by Li Dongyang, he didn't abandon Da Yi for his personal friendship. He wrote to Li, accusing him of aiding in tyranny and breaking up with him. Soon, he was promoted to Taichang Zhengqing. Two years later, he was promoted to the right Minister of the Ministry of officials in Nanjing. He admonished Liu Jin, the eunuch, for luring Wu Zong to play and correcting his orders, which made the Treasury empty and the court officials falsely accused. But Wuzong couldn't listen to it. Luo Li often worried about the state affairs, but he couldn't return to heaven. Zhengde was transferred to Kyoto in the seventh year of his life. He resigned from his official post after taking care of his illness, and devoted himself to learning. His poem "Hongmei" is "the West Lake has been waiting for snow for a long time, but he hates being bullied by snow the year before last. He learns from the apricot blossom, which is as red as brocade, and temporarily invites birds to sing to Nanzhi." It expresses his mood of resigning at that time. Seeing that local officials are deeply disturbed by the increasing exorbitant taxes and levies of the common people, his friend is about to take office in Nancheng. He wrote affectionately and forthrightly in the preface to sending Zhao Jun to yinnancheng: "the official's income is increasing day by day, and the people's life is getting better and better. County officials are subject to the jurisdiction of those who are under their jurisdiction. Can Hu damage their growth? The new commander, Yin Taiping, Zhao Jun, I know that he is a gentleman and is good at his deeds, so I dare to sue him. " In the ninth year of Zhengde (1514), Chenhao, the king of Ning, wanted to rebel. Because he admired Luo's reputation, he sent someone to send him a gift and wanted to make a close friend with Luo. Luo refused to accept it and stayed in the mountains of Jinxi. In the fourteenth year, Chen Hao rebelled. Although Luo Li was ill, he still wrote a letter to denounce him and made an appointment with the court officials to denounce the thief. He died before he did. It was buried on the left side of Xiangshan temple in Zhanggongling, capital of Jinxi. At the beginning of Jiajing period (1522), Emperor Shizong presented Luo Li as the Minister of rites, posthumous title "Wensu". And in his hometown Cigui village Lai built "shangshuli" gatehouse to show his gratitude. Luo Li has made certain contributions to the affirmation and dissemination of Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan's literary achievements. Han and Liu are the representative writers of the ancient prose movement in Tang Dynasty, which have a great influence on the development of the prose of later generations. However, in the Ming Dynasty, it was despised by some literati, "in the era of Hongzhi, heresy began, not the books of the three dynasties and the two Han Dynasties Luo Li wrote an article to refute it. When the heresy came into being, he did not follow Chen's words and dislike Han and Liu. He introduced and praised Han and Liu's literary works, which had a great influence at that time. Therefore, later generations once spoke highly of Luo Li, "if Han and Liu thought that they could be taught, they would all have the power of the public.". Luo Li is erudite, talented and good at ancient prose. Scholars call him Mr. Guifeng. His literary achievements are mainly in prose. There are a lot of prefaces and travel notes, some of which are unique and some of which are euphemistic and tortuous. Poetry works have a unique style, often with passion and imagination. "Chen Jian is very strict, not crafty in the law and regulations. He has a strong character but no slow tone. It can be said that he has unique ingenuity." Later generations praised his article as "han zi's writing changed but the law changed, and it's strange, Guifeng's writing changed but the law didn't change, and it's just and strange." Shizong also praised him as "the unparalleled scholar of Chinese literature, better than the first person in Kyoto". Luo Li had his own characteristics in learning and being an official. He founded Guifeng Academy in his hometown and wrote books. His works include 18 volumes of Guifeng anthology, 14 volumes of sequel, 2 volumes of Lei Shuo and Guifeng Memorial. There are thirty volumes of Luo's poems and essays in Sikuquanshu. Wen Yuan Zhuan in Ming history called it "erudite and good at ancient prose, which is a wonder.". "Sikuquanshu" says that "Han Yu's prose is of a large scale. He should think deeply and faintly, cover up his meaning, and detour his words, so that people can get it out of words.".
