Liú Jìngshū 劉敬叔 (fl. early-to-mid 5th c., d. Tàishǐ period 465–471) of Péngchéng 彭城, a minor official across the Eastern Jìn / LiúSòng transition and the compiler of the Yìyuàn 異苑 KR3l0101, one of the four foundational Six-Dynasties zhìguài 志怪 collections. He has no biography in either the Sòng shū or the Nán shǐ; what is known of his life was reconstructed by the late-Míng scholar Hú Zhènhēng 胡震亨 (1569–1645) from scattered citations and from passages in the Yìyuàn itself, and is summarised in the Sìkù quánshū zǒngmù tíyào: he began his career as Adjutant of the Lesser Troops (xiǎobīng cānjūn 小兵參軍); in Yuánjiā 元嘉 3 (426) he became Imperial Yellow-Gate Gentleman (gěishì huángmén láng 給事黃門郎); he died during the Tàishǐ 泰始 reign-period (465–471). Earlier in his career he had served as lángzhōng 郎中 under the Jìn general Liú Yì 劉毅, but offended Liú Yì in some matter, was impeached on his accusation, and dismissed — a personal grievance that surfaces obliquely in several of the more politically pointed entries of the Yìyuàn (the Liú Yì cycle: Liú Yì at Jiāngzhōu, his wife seized by Huán Xuán 桓玄). The Yìyuàn itself carries the autobiographical datum “In Yìxī 13 (417) I served as Cavalry Adjutant to the Prince of Chángshā, Jǐngwáng (Liú Dàolián 劉道憐)” — agreeing with Liú Dàolián’s biography in the Sòng shū (he was concurrently General of the Flying Cavalry and Inspector of Jīngzhōu in that year), confirming his presence at Jīngzhōu under the prince. No CBDB record. No further confirmed offices or writings beyond the Yìyuàn.
