At the beginning of Xingyuan Dynasty, he gave relief to the envoys for Xuanwei in Hedong. In Dali, he was worshipped by the Minister of daily life and Li Tai Ge. He was transferred to the Minister of industry and the Minister of punishment and was demoted as the governor of Xinzhou. He died in the eighth year of Zhenyuan at the age of 68.

Anecdotes and allusions

Liu Taizhen was born in the Tang Dynasty. Both the new and the old books of the Tang Dynasty are handed down. Because "Liu Taizhen, a native of Xuanzhou, is a scholar and a good writer" is recorded in the old book of Tang Dynasty, Xuancheng people in Anhui think that Liu Taizhen is their "native poet"; and because in the communication of poetry and prose at that time, the literati liked to call him Gu Diwang and "Danyang Liu Taizhen", today some people in Danyang think that Liu Taizhen is "the ancestor of Liu clan in Danyang". In the Tang Dynasty, it's good to say that Liu Taizhen was from Xuanzhou or Danyang, because Lishui was under the jurisdiction of Danyang County in the Han and Sui dynasties, and Xuanzhou prefecture (Xuancheng County in the first year of Tianbao) in the Tang Dynasty. The ancients also had the habit of calling Lishui an ancient place. But today we can only say that Liu Taizhen is from Lishui, Nanjing.

Let's read a passage in the inscriptions on the Shinto of Liu Fu Jun written by Pei Du, Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty: Liu Tai Zhen "died in the hotel of Yugan County on March 8, the eighth year of the reign of emperor Zhenyuan in the spring and Autumn period In order to return to Zhaoyu, we have no yarrow turtle, and we have the right to stay in Danyang's villa. On October 19, the 18th year of Zhenyuan, Fang Yili was buried in the ancient site of Fangxu, Lishui County, Xuancheng county. " I'd like to make a further comment on this not too difficult classical Chinese passage, "Zhaoyu" is the cemetery, "return to Zhaoyu with words" means to return to the ancestral grave according to Liu Taizhen's account before his death; "Weiye (Xi é) yarrow turtle" is not divination, which means that Mr. Yin and Yang reckon that it is unfavorable to return to the grave immediately, so he temporarily stopped mourning in "Danyang villa"; ten years later, he "managed his life with reason" According to the will left by Liu Taizhen when he was sober, he was buried in Zhetang (ancient Fangxu) in Lishui. In this inscription, Pei Du repeatedly stressed that it was Liu Taizhen's strong desire to be buried in Fangxu, Lishui. Liu Taizhen is sentimentally attached to his hometown where he was born and grew up. He must be buried here after his death. There is no doubt that Liu Taizhen was born in Lishui in Tang Dynasty.

Liu Taizhen is from Pengcheng. In the late years of Yongjia (307-313 AD), the royal family of Jin Dynasty moved to the south, and the Liu family moved to Jinling, but they did not know when they moved to Lishui. Liu Min, the ancestor of the first generation, was Sui Fubo general and Guiyang prefect; Liu Guan, the Gaozu, was Xiangzhou Biejia; Liu Fu, the great ancestor, was Huangzhou governor; Liu Ji, the grandfather, was Hongzhou recorder and enlisted in the army; Liu Ruoyun, the father, was a scholar, but he did not enter the official career. After his death, because his son was an official, the imperial court gave him a letter of advice. Liu Taichong, his elder brother, won the Jinshi examination one year earlier than Liu Taizhen. At that time, the two brothers won the imperial examinations one after another, which made the capital a sensation. Liu Taichong had been engaged in the work of Yan Zhenqing, the governor of the plain during the "an Shi rebellion". During the reign of Baoying in the Tang Dynasty (762-763 AD), Yan Zhenqing served as the Minister of the Ministry of officials. He was promoted to Liu Taichong by "super promotion". However, Liu Taichong did not have a chance life. His official career was delayed, and he was always in a low position, so he fell into poverty and stayed at home. Yan Zhenqing was once demoted to Yiling Biejia because of the exclusion of prime minister Yuanzai. Later, he moved to Lu Ling CI Shi, and went to Pu Tang in Lishui. It is very likely that Liu Taichong will go to PUTANG to meet Yan Zhenqing, or Liu Taichong will invite Yan Zhenqing to his home and tell him that he plans to travel to the West. Yan Zhenqing immediately splashed ink and wrote "send Liu Taichong to narrate", which is a great event in the history of calligraphy. Sending Liu Taichong to narrate is a treasure of calligraphy. In Xu, there are praises for Liu Taichong's brothers: "Guo xingjiexiu, Si Wenbing, e Buzhao Huhua", "Chong and Taizhen inherit the family name later"; there are encouragements for Liu Taichong: "Chong's journey to the west, Si is hopeful", "Xu Ya's son!" It can be seen that Yan Zhenqing appreciated and loved the Liu brothers.

Liu Taizhen received strict Confucian orthodoxy education when he was young. At the age of 15, he began to study diligently. At the age of 20, he was praised for his moral cultivation and literary talent. Pei Du said in the inscription on the Shendao of Liu Fu Jun, "there are five in the public ten, but he is determined to learn. He is weak in the crown and cultivates himself with righteousness. His words are magnificent and his reputation is better than that of the public." Liu Taizhen was a teacher of Xiao Yingshi when he was young. Xiao Yingshi, Maoting, is from Lanling. "In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan, Jinshi, the first strategy It's famous all over the world. It's called master Xiao. " "When the Japanese sent envoys to the court, Chen was willing to take Mr. Xiao as his teacher, and Zhang Jian, a scholar of Zhongshu, was not able to stop remonstrating." Xiao Yingshi was upright, learned and temperamental. Even Li Linfu, the prime minister, didn't buy it. When he was visiting Jinling, Li Li, the king of Yong, invited him into the curtain, and he didn't cooperate with Li Cai. There are countless people in the world who want to join him and worship him as a teacher, but Xiao Fu Zi is "talented and broad-minded, and few of them are lured.". However, as soon as Xiao Yingshi saw Liu Taizhen, "he extended his seat to the right. Is it because the high rank of Confucius is not here?" Liu Taizhen became Xiao Yingshi's most proud student. Xiao Yingshi said, "I think the disciples have Yin Zheng's learning, and Liu Taizhen's writing is the first choice. This spring even Ru A and B, Shu asked Xiu explain, for the crown Liu Taizhen first met Xiao Yingshi in Zhenjiang during the reign of Tianbao, and then followed him to the capital. He didn't leave his teacher until he returned to his hometown to visit his relatives after he passed the imperial examination in the last year of Tianbao. Xiao Yingshi wrote a song to Liu Taizhen and wrote a song to see him off.

Liu Taizhen became a scholar around the end of Tianbao. In the Tang Dynasty, there was not an official immediately, but also an official elected by the Ministry of official affairs. Some people were not allowed to hold a post for many years after being elected, waiting for a job at home, or entering the shogunate. Only ten days after Liu Taizhen was elected, the imperial court recruited his secretary. "And Chi Chuan long first, leading the Yuanrong Secretary of the matter." The title of the golden list, and then became the official of the imperial court, "sound moving under the sun, bathed in the world." In the summer and may (lunar calendar) of that year, I went back to my hometown after taking leave of absence to visit my parents. Soon after Liu Taizhen returned to his hometown, the "an Shi rebellion" broke out, followed by the loss of the two capitals. In the ten years before and after the "an Shi rebellion", Liu Taizhen stayed in his hometown, studying and serving his parents. "It's the misfortune of being abused, the disturbance of the Central Plains, the concentration of grave element, retreat village Lu, happy to forget the poor, peace in the end support." Until the second year of Guangde (764 AD), Liu Taizhen was appointed as the left guard Cao, recommended by Li Jiqing, the Jianghuai Xuanwei envoy and the imperial historian. In the second year of Yongtai (766 AD), Li Guangbi, deputy marshal and Taiwei of Hanoi, invited Liu Taizhen to help him with his work. He was appointed as Dali's judge. Full of gratitude, Liu Taizhen went back to Huaibei. However, considering that the war was not peaceful, he was too far away from home, and his parents had no one to take care of him, so he went back to his hometown halfway.

Liu Taizhen is filial to his parents and friendly to his brothers. Pei Du recorded such two things in the tablet of the God of Liu Fu Jun: Liu Tai Zhen's father had a poisonous sore due to a heat disease, and the doctor warned that his hands should not be touched, but Liu Tai Zhen actually used his mouth to suck pus blood. Once, he and his elder brother went to the county town to buy some fresh dishes, and then it was almost dark. On the way, he suddenly met a robber who pulled his bow and arrow to rob the road. Liu Taizhen quickly told the man his name and where he lived, and said that you should take everything you have, just don't hurt my brother. On hearing this, the robber was greatly frightened and said, "I didn't know you were brothers of the Liu family. I'm very ashamed and ran away. Liu Taizhen's words and deeds, "so the clan called filial Yan, the township party called Tiyan." Li Qiyun, the western Zhejiang observer and the imperial historian, heard these things and recommended him to the imperial court as Changshu county magistrate. He didn't work as a county magistrate for a long time in Changshu. His mother died of illness. He was extremely sad. He resigned and went home to keep filial piety for his mother. In 771, Chen Shaoyou, the eastern Zhejiang observation envoy, the governor and censor of Xuanzhou, invited him to work in Xuancheng. Liu Taizhen didn't want to leave his father, but considering Chen Shao
