Biography

Liu Changqing was born around either 710 or 725.[lower-alpha 1] He came from the city of Xuancheng. His ancestral hometown was Hejian. Most of his youth was spent in the city of Luoyang. Liu obtained his Jinshi title around 750s. In 780, he became the governor of Suizhou in Henan province. Because of his term in Suizhou, Liu was often called Liu Suizhou by his contemporaries.[2]

He died around 786.[lower-alpha 2]

Poetry

Liu's poems did not receive much praise during his lifetime although he was one of the representative poets during the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang. However, he was gradually acknowledged by later generations. Liu was especially skillful on the writing of poems with 5 characters.[3][4] An example of his poetry can be seen below:

While Visiting on the South Stream the Taoist Priest Chang (尋南溪常山道人隱居)[5]

一路經行處，   Walking along a little path, ;
莓苔見履痕，   I find a footprint on the moss.
白雲依靜渚，   A while cloud low on the quiet lake
春草閉閒門。   Grasses that sweeten an idle door.
過雨看松色，   A pine grown greener with the rain;
隨山到水源，   A brook that comes from a mountain source –
溪花與禪意，   And, mingling with Truth among the flowers,
相對亦忘言。   I have forgotten what to say.
