Luó Bì 羅泌 (ca. 1131–after 1189), zì Chángyuán 長源, native of Lúlíng 廬陵 (modern Jí’ān 吉安, Jiāngxī). Southern-Sòng scholar of antiquity, recluse, and prolific syncretist whose principal work is the Lùshǐ 路史 (KR2d0008), an enormous (47-juǎn) prose synthesis of pre-imperial Chinese mytho-history compiled at Lúlíng and completed in Qiándào 6 (gēngyín, 1170). Luó took no examinations and held no office; he lived a “yìmín” 逸民 life of antiquarian learning. He was active in the Lúlíng intellectual circle that also included Zhōu Bìdà 周必大 and Yáng Wànlǐ 楊萬里. The Lùshǐ draws on a sweeping range of pre-Hàn cosmographical, weft-text, Daoist, and ethnographic sources, including some — like the Tàipíng jīng 太平經 and Dòngshén jīng 洞神經 — that the Sìkù editors regarded as Daoist pseudepigrapha. The notes (zhù) appended to the Lùshǐ are conventionally attributed to his son Luó Píng 羅苹 (CBDB 13179), but the Sìkù editors observed that the prose style of the notes so closely matches the body text that the attribution is best treated as Luó Bì’s self-attribution to his son. Beyond the Lùshǐ (with its substantial sub-treatises Fāhuī 發揮, Yúlùn 餘論, and Guómíng jì 國名紀), Luó left no other major surviving work. CBDB id 13178; lifedates inferred from the colophon date and Lúlíng-circle context.
