生平
罗洪先自幼端重,不为嬉戏,嘉靖八年(1529年)成已丑科一甲一名进士(状元),授翰林院修撰。十八年(1539年),官至春坊左赞善,明世宗迷信道教,次年冬与司谏唐顺之、校书赵时春等见朝政日非,联名上《东宫朝贺疏》,被撤职。自谓「丈夫事业,更有许大在。此等三年递一人,奚足为大事也。」嘉靖四十三年(1564),去世。诏赠光禄少卿,谥文恭。
著作
罗洪先于天文、地理、礼乐、典章、水利、边塞、战阵、攻守、阴阳、术数、无不精心探究,他将朱思本《舆地图》加以改绘,取名《广舆图》。性好佛,一说晚年在鼓山出家,法号念庵,有《醒世诗》。著有《念庵集》22卷、《冬游记》等。
据考证,罗洪先亦为中国术数《紫微斗数》的发现者,紫微斗数在不同的古本中,皆尊陈希夷为创术人,在现存可证得的古本《紫微斗数全书》,为罗洪先于华山访道时自希夷道长第十八代孙处所取得由希夷尊师著作之《紫微斗数全书》,并著以序之。

Luo Hongxian (罗洪先; 1504–1564) was a
Ming dynasty Chinese cartographer.
After passing the Imperial Examinations with the rank of jinshi in 1529, Luo worked as a senior compiler at the Hanlin Academy. He was a student of the philosophies of the Neo-Confucian Wang Yangming. Hearing of raids by wokou pirates on China's south-eastern shores, he began collating cartographical information for the Ming government, spending three years in research. During this period, he discovered the Yutu (Terrestrial Map), an atlas of China created by Zhu Siben during the Yuan dynasty some 300 years earlier, which he adapted and expanded to create his Guang yu tu 广与图 (Enlarged territorial atlas), a work that covered the entire country. It was first published in 1561, and remained the principal reference work in Chinese cartography until the 17th century. Martino Martini, an Italian Jesuit in China, drew his own Novus Atlas Sinensis (based on the Guang yu tu), which was published in Amsterdam by Joan Blaeu in 1655. Martini's map remained the standard European view of China until 1737, when Jean Baptiste d'Anville published his Atlas de la Chine.
Luo's maps and geographical knowledge were put to use in the defense of the coast, and he was offered several government posts as a result; he declined these offers.
