Luo Binwang (骆宾王; ca. 640–December 29, 684), courtesy name Guanguang (观光), was a Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty. His family was from modern Wuzhou, Zhejiang, but he was raised in Shandong. Luo is grouped with Wang Bo, Yang Jiong (杨炯) and Lu Zhaolin (卢照邻) as one of the Four Greats of the Early Tang as the most outstanding writers of their time.

 Style

In prose, he was a master of the ornate bianwen style. His poetry (mostly gushi) is often similarly complex. Among his works is a long, autobiographical verse narrative, but he is best known for his poem "Ode to the Goose", said to have been written when he was seven years old. His "Ode to the Cicada" is also of great renown and influence.
