Liú Chóngyuǎn 劉崇遠 (fl. mid-10th c.), self-styled Jīnhuá zǐ 金華子. Native of Hénán. From his own preface to the KR3l0019 Jīnhuá zǐ záibiān 金華子雜編 we know that he loved learning in childhood, that his literary accomplishment was modest, that he was given to poetry, that he held two district magistracies in the metropolitan region over more than twenty years, that after retirement he returned to the capital and lived in poverty for several years awaiting reassignment. His titulary in the preface is “Wénlín láng, Dàlǐ sīzhí” (Court-Forest Officer, Dàlǐ Directly-Attached Officer) — a Southern-Táng court post. CBDB id 33572 records the name without lifedates or career data; the Southern-Táng dating is established by the titulary and by internal references in the Jīnhuá zǐ záibiān to events of Zhāozōng’s reign and the Táng-Southern-Táng transition. The Jīnhuá zǐ is his sole surviving work.
