Taiwan music has always been the object of singing and imitation by Hong Kong Philharmonic, such as " The Moon Represents My Heart ", "Applause", " About Winter ", etc. This situation became more common in the 1980s and 1990s.
In fact, Taiwanese music was widely recognized by the Hong Kong circle for the first time. It started with Yao Surong's "Don't Go Home Today" in 1969. This song was composed 3 years earlier than "The Moon Represents My Heart". The two songs are from two masters of that era - Gu Yue (Zuo Hongyuan) and Tony ( Weng Qingxi ). The two songs of
, "Don't Go Home Today" is more playful and cheerful, "The Moon Represents My Heart" is relatively solemn and meaningful, and the songs " Fine Wine and Coffee " created by Mr. Zuo Hongyuan later and "Don't Go Home Today""It can be said that they are in the same line, but there is a little more resentment.

When Teresa Teng went to Japan for development, Zuo Hongyuan dispelled Qiong Yao's doubts and launched Feng Feifei, the second-generation "Queen Singer" of Qiong Yao's drama. Feng Feifei also became the "Queen of Hats". This is Zuo Lao's vision.
Teresa Teng can become the "eternal queen" without the support of Zuo Hongyuan. Before her daughter Zuo An'an was born, Teresa Teng was his "first daughter".
The singer who wrote the most songs in Zuo Hongyuan's life was Teresa Teng, "A Thousand Words", "Wine and Coffee", "How Do You Say", "Unforgettable", " Haiyun ", "How Can I Leave You" The famous works of Teresa Teng are all written by Zuo Lao.

Since then, the Chinese music scene has gained strength and has Temper, he is Luo Dayou, who is recognized as a master of music by the Chinese music scene.

Zuo Hongyuan has made great achievements in the fields of folk songs, TV and movie songs, children's songs and operas, but Luo Dayou is not too conceited in these fields.

are influenced by Luo Dayou's critical realism including Li Zongsheng, Zhang Hongliang , Zheng Zhihua , etc. Zhou Huajian, Yu Chengqing, Zhang Yu, Huang Guolun , Wu Bai and others all drew inspiration from Luo Dayou's works in their creations.
He is called "the beacon of music" by colleagues and younger musicians. Even if he is as arrogant as Li Zongsheng, he also publicly said: Where there is Luo Dayou, please don't call me big brother.
