Liu Yong's original name changed three times, and later changed his name to Yong, the word Qiqing, because he ranked seventh, also known as Liu Qi, a native of Chong'an (now Wuyi Mountain, Fujian), is a famous poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, and a representative of the graceful school. His lyrics are known for their freshness, tactfulness and softness, and his representative works include "Yulin Bell" and "Eight Sounds of Ganzhou".
According to historical records, the three brothers of Liu Yong: three repetitions, three successions, and three changes, were known as the "three uniques of the Liu family" at that time.
Liu Sanfu and Liu Sanjie were also famous literati in the Northern Song Dynasty. They all have literary names, among which Liu Yong is the most. The three Liu brothers were not only born in a family of eunuchs, but also from a family of culture. Although his grandfather Liu Chong was only a county prince, he had a deep literary foundation and was quite prestigious in the state and county. His father, Liu Yi, not only served as the superintendent of the imperial history in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but later served as the doctor of the Guozijian in the Northern Song Dynasty. It can be seen that Liu Yi's knowledge is also extraordinary. Born in such a family with a family history, coupled with the wisdom and intelligence of the three Liu brothers, they are destined to make a difference in the later world.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Yong's son Liu Zhuo and nephew Liu Qi are also high school jinshi, which is largely related to the Liu family's family style. This profound cultural accumulation and family style have enabled the Liu family to achieve brilliant achievements in the field of literature for several generations.
However, Liu Yong was extremely unambitious in his career, and because the rhetoric of the article was not suitable for the imperial examination, he repeatedly fell to the top. Despite this, his words are eloquent, and his works are widely circulated, which have a profound impact on later generations.
In general, the cultural influence of the Liu family in the Northern Song Dynasty cannot be ignored. Their outstanding achievements are not only reflected in the field of literature, but also reflect their profound family style and perseverance.
