Native of Qīngtián 青田 (Wēnzhōu, Zhèjiāng); second son of Liú Jī 劉基 (Chéngyìbó 誠意伯). On Liú Jī’s death (1375) the elder son Liú Liǎn 劉璉 was to inherit but soon also died; in Hóngwǔ 23 (1390) Tàizǔ ordered Jǐng to inherit the patent, but Jǐng yielded to his elder brother’s son Liú Zhì 廌, so the court created the new post of gémén shǐ 閤門使 for him. Soon promoted Gǔfǔ zuǒ zhǎngshǐ 谷王府左長史. After the Yān prince raised troops, Jǐng followed the Gǔ prince back to Nánjīng and was attached to Lǐ Jǐnglóng 李景隆’s army; after the defeat his memorials to the Jiànwén court went unheeded, and he returned home. After Yǒnglè’s accession (1402), summoned, he claimed illness; arrested, brought to Nánjīng, hanged himself in prison. Famous in his youth for kāngkǎi military discussion; Hóngwǔ once said “Truly the son of [Liú] Bówēn”. Míng shǐ j. 128 appended to the Liú Jī biography.
