In the early 1930s, he and his husband Liang Sicheng used modern scientific methods to study ancient Chinese architecture and became a pioneer in this academic field. Later, he obtained great academic achievements in this regard and laid a solid scientific foundation for the study of ancient Chinese architecture. Literary works include prose, poetry, novels, plays, translations and letters, such as "You are the April Sky in the World", "Lotus Lantern", "Ninety-nine Degrees Middle", etc. Lin Huiyin, formerly known as Lin Huiyin, whose name comes from "Poetry ¡¤ Daya ¡¤ Siqi": Da Si Zi Huiyin, Baisi Male ". Later, it was renamed Huiyin because it was often mistaken for Lin Weiyin, a writer at that time. A native of Fujian Province (Fuzhou), born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.

In the 30th year of the Qing Dynasty (1904), Lin Huiyin was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and lived with her grandparents. At the age of 5, she was taught by her eldest aunt Lin Zemin; at the age of 8, she moved to Shanghai and studied at Hongkou Patriotic Primary School. In 1916, because her father worked in the Beiyang government, her family moved to Beijing. She studied at Peihua Girls' High School in Beijing run by the Church of England. In April 1920, she traveled to Europe with her father and was influenced by the landlord's female architect in London. During this period, she also met the poet Xu Zhimo and developed a strong interest in new poetry. The following year, she returned to China with her father and continued her studies at Peihua Girls' School. In 1923, Xu Zhimo, Hu Shi and others established the Crescent Society in Beijing.

Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin's wedding photo In June 1924, Lin Huiyin and Liang Qichao's eldest son Liang Sicheng went to the United States to study architecture at the same time. In September, the two entered the School of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania together, both starting from the third-year course. Liang Sicheng was in the Department of Architecture of the Academy of Fine Arts. Since the Department of Architecture did not accept girls, Lin Huiyin was registered in the Department of Fine Arts. Lin Huiyin's registered English name was Lin Phyllis Whei-Yin. In the summer of 1927, after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts, she entered the Yale School of Drama to study stage art design for half a year. In the spring of 1928, she married Liang Sicheng. In August, the couple returned to China together and were employed by the Department of Architecture at Northeastern University. Lin Huiyin visited relatives in Fuzhou before joining the job. At the invitation of Fuzhou Normal School and Yinghua Middle School, she gave lectures on "Architecture and Literature" and "Garden Architecture Art". He also designed the Fuzhou East Street Art Theater for his uncle Lin Tianmin. The following year, he went to Northeastern University to teach "History of Sculpture" and professional English. From 1930 to 1945, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin traveled together to 15 provinces and more than 200 counties in China, and inspected and mapped more than 200 ancient buildings. Many ancient buildings were recognized by the world and the whole country through their investigation, and have been protected since then. For example, such as the Dashiqiao in Zhaozhou, Hebei, the Wooden Pagoda in Yingxian, Shanxi, and the Wutai Mountain Foguang Temple. It is also because of several ancient architectural inspections in Shanxi that Liang Sicheng cracked the mystery of Chinese ancient architectural structure and completed the interpretation of the "Heavenly Book" of "Construction French Style". In 1931, she was hired by the China Construction Society in Beiping. The following year, she designed the Geology Museum and the Grey Building student dormitory for Beiping University. In the following years, she went to the provinces of Jin, Ji, Lu, Henan and Zhejiang many times to investigate dozens of ancient buildings on the spot, and published papers and investigation reports on architecture such as "On Several Characteristics of Chinese Architecture", "Miscellaneous Records of Pingjiao Architecture" and "Survey of Ancient Buildings in Jin-Fen" alone or in cooperation with Liang Sicheng. She also wrote an introduction to "Qing Style Construction Rules" signed by Liang Sicheng. This is an important reference book for the study of ancient Chinese architecture. Lin Huiyin began to engage in literary creation in addition to her research in architectural science. In April 1931, her first poem, "Who Loves This Continuous Change", was published in the second issue of Poetry under the pseudonym "Huiyin". In the following years, she published dozens of works in Poetry Magazine, New Moon, Beidou, Tianjin Ta Kung Pao, and Literary Magazine. Most of her poems are poems, but also prose, novels, plays, and literary criticism. Most of her poems explore the ups and downs of personal emotions as the theme, exploring the philosophy of life and love. The lines are gentle and gentle, and the rhythm is natural. It is appreciated by the literary community and the general audience, and it has established her status as a poet. At that time, she applied for a job as a lecturer in English Literature at the Foreign Language Department of Peking Women's College of Arts and Sciences, was responsible for editing the "Ta Kung Pao, Literary Series and Selected Novels", and also served as the editorial board of "Literary Magazine". She often participates in activities such as poetry reading clubs in Beiping literary circles. In 1936, the universities and cultural circles of Pingjin published the Declaration of Pingjin Cultural Circles on the Current Situation, which put forward eight demands for anti-Japanese salvation to the National Government. Huiyin was one of the initiators of the literary and artistic circles. In Lin Huiyin's works, the scientific spirit of architects and the literary temperament of writers blend seamlessly. Her academic papers and investigation reports not only have rigorous scientific content, but also describe and praise the exquisite achievements of ancient Chinese architecture in technology and art in poetic language, making the articles full of poetic and picturesque. In literary works, the image of ancient architecture is often used as a metaphor. For example, in the poem "Deep Laughter", the sound of countless wind chimes rotating by the eaves of the ancient pagoda is used as a metaphor for the crisp and melodious laughter, which rises to the sky. It is both appropriate and novel, and unique. Because she is also fluent in liberal arts and shows amazing talent in architecture and literary creation, she enjoyed the reputation of "a generation of talented women" in the 1930s and was included in the "4,000 Who's Who in Contemporary China" published at that time. She is a famous female writer from Fujian with Bingxin and Lu Yin. In the summer of 1937, she discovered the oldest wooden structure in China in the Wutai Mountain area of Shanxi Province - the main hall of Foguang Temple built in the Tang Dynasty. Just as she was about to conduct in-depth research, the "July 7th Incident" broke out, and she was forced to interrupt her fieldwork. Soon after, Beiping fell, and the whole family fled to Kunming. The following year, she designed a women's dormitory with ethnic style for Yunnan University. In 1940, she moved with Liang Sicheng's work unit, the Academia Sinica, to Li Zhuang near Yibin, Sichuan, and lived in a low and dilapidated farmhouse. The life of displacement and difficult material conditions made her suffer from a recurrence of lung disease. On her sickbed, she read through the section on architecture in the Twenty-Fourth History of History, collected materials for the writing of "History of Chinese Architecture", and often worked late into the night. In a few years, they initially realized their wish when they were students. During this period, she did not have many literary works. In several of her poems, confusion, melancholy, desolation and melancholy have replaced the quiet, elegant, beautiful and graceful style before the war. The poems always show feelings of caring for the future and destiny of the motherland. After Lin Huiyin and her father won the Anti-Japanese War, Lin Huiyin's family returned to Peiping in August 1946. Soon after, she designed teachers' houses for Tsinghua University and accepted off-campus design tasks. In May 1948, she published 9 "Poems in Sickness" in the "Literary Magazine". At the end of the same year, the suburb of Peiping, where Tsinghua University is located, was liberated. The People's Liberation Army surrounded the ancient capital of Peiping. The Lin Huiyin couple thought that countless towering and magnificent ancient buildings in the city might be destroyed by the war, and they were worried and restless. In early 1949, two People's Liberation Army comrades suddenly came to her house, spread out a military map of Peiping, and asked them to circle the location of all important cultural relics and monuments with red pens so that they could protect them as much as possible in the event of a forced siege by the army. They were very moved and dispelled their doubts about the Communist Party. At the request of the People's Liberation Army, they immediately compiled the "National Catalogue of Cultural Relics and Ancient Buildings", which later became the "National Catalogue of Cultural Relics Protection". In the 1950s, Liang Sicheng was repeatedly criticized for advocating traditional forms such as large roofs for new buildings and protecting the ancient city of Beijing. When the ancient city walls of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were demolished, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin wept bitterly as they touched the bricks. In 1953, at the European and American students' dinner party organized by the Ministry of Culture, Lin Huiyin impulsively pointed at Wu Han, then the deputy mayor of Beijing, and said, "You really dismantled the antique, and you will regret it in the future! Even if you restore it, it will be a fake antique at best!" In such a state of mind, Lin Huiyin's condition deteriorated sharply, and finally refused to take medicine and died in 1955. Interlude: When Liang Sicheng returned from other places in 1931, Lin Huiyin told him very dejectedly: "I am very distressed, because I am in love with two people at the same time, and I don't know what to do. "Liang Sicheng was very shocked, but after a sleepless night of ideological struggle, he told Lin Huiyin the next day:" You are free, if you choose Lao Jin, I wish you happiness forever. "Later, Lin relayed these words to Jin Yuelin, Jin Yuelin replied:" It seems that Sicheng really loves you, I can't hurt someone who really loves you, I should quit. "From then on, they never mentioned this matter again, and the three were still good friends. Not only did they discuss each other's knowledge, but sometimes Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin quarreled, and Jin Yuelin did arbitration to figure out their confusion. Jin Yuelin was no longer tempted and never married.
