Liú Rénběn 劉仁本 (d. 1368), zì Déyuán 德元, hào Yǔtíng 羽庭. Native of Tiāntái 天台 (Zhèjiāng). Yuán jìnshì yǐkē. Career sequentially up to Wēnzhōulù zǒngguǎn, Jiāng-Zhè xíngshěng zuǒyòusī lángzhōng. With Fāng Guózhēn 方國珍 holding Wēn-Tái at the close of the Yuán; brought into his mùfǔ. The post he held under Fāng — jiē Yuán suǒ shòu (was that conferred by the Yuán) — gù jí zhōng zhūzuò — dàdū gǎnkǎi ānwēi — juànhuái Wángshì. Like Luō Yǐn 羅隱 serving the Wú-Yuè — shí xīn bù wàng Táng — Liú followed Fāng intending to borrow his force to act — gradually planning xīngfù. His Zèng Lǐ yuánwài zì Jíqìng huí Hénán shī: “Hànbīng zǎo yǐ dìng Zhōnghuá — Sūn-Shù yóu míng jǐngdǐwā” — direct denunciation of Ming Tàizǔ. When Fāng was defeated and Liú captured, he held firm under torture; whipped on the back until the flesh broke open, died. Therefore Liú zhōngshǐ Yuánrén (was throughout an Yuán-loyalist) — never entered Míng. The Yǒnglè dàdiǎn listing as “Guócháo Liú Rénběn” is in error. Studied with Zhào Sù 趙俶, Xiè Lǐ 謝理, Zhū Yòu 朱右 etc.; once commanded troops at Yúyáo and built Yúyǒngtíng 雩詠亭 at the left foot of Lóngquán, imitating the Lántíng scene — collected the era’s wénshì for xiūxì; the stele still exists. His prose serves as supplementary source for events of Fāng Guózhēn and Cháhǎntièmùěr (Qiánlóng: Cháhǎn-Tièmùěr) embassy-exchange — bǔ shǐquē.
