Liú Guò, zì Gǎizhī 改之, hào Lóngzhōu dàorén 龍洲道人, was a Southern Sòng jiānghú poet and háofàng cí-writer of Lúlíng 廬陵 (modern Jí’ān, Jiāngxī). He failed the jìnshì examinations on four occasions and spent his life as an itinerant client and remonstrator in Hángzhōu, Jīngkǒu, and the Yangtze cities, in close company with Xīn Qìjí 辛棄疾, Lù Yóu 陸游 and Chén Liàng 陳亮. In the early reign of Guāngzōng he beat at the palace gate (kòuhūn 叩閽) submitting a memorial demanding that the emperor pay filial visits to his retired father Xiàozōng, an act that briefly made him famous. During Hán Tuōzhòu’s 韓侂胄 ascendancy he was nearly recommended for office and a Jīn embassy but lost the chance through indiscretion, and died poor on the eve of the Kāixǐ northern campaign (1206). His works were collected posthumously in 1234 by his younger brother Liú Xiè 劉澥 as the Lóngzhōu jí KR4d0304, with an attached Lóngzhōu cí 龍洲詞 of major importance for the háofàng tradition. The standardly accepted lifedates 1154–1206 are not in CBDB’s main entry but are well attested in Yuè Kē’s Tíngshǐ and in the appended fùlù of his collected works. CBDB id 27720.
