Lǐ Liú 李劉 (c. 1175–c. 1238), zì Gōngfǔ 公甫, hào Méitíng 梅亭, native of Chóngrén 崇仁 in Fǔzhōu 撫州 (modern Jiāngxī). Jìnshì of Jiādìng 7 (1214). His career terminated with the office of Bǎozhāng gé dàizhì 寶章閣待制. He has no full biography in Sòng shǐ and is, in the Sìkù tíyào’s blunt phrase, “a man with no other affair worth recording, who specialised exclusively in parallel prose.” His extant oeuvre — Lèigǎo 類藁, Xù lèigǎo 續類藁, Méitíng sìliù 梅亭四六 — survives essentially through the disciple-redacted Sìliù biāozhǔn 四六標準 KR4d0323, 40 juan in 71 categories totalling 1,096 pieces, compiled by his pupil Luó Féngjí 羅逄吉 and posthumously canonised in the title (biāozhǔn “model standard”) as a teaching manual. He is the canonical representative of the late-Southern-Sòng sìliù style, valued by his contemporaries for fluency and aptness of allusion, but criticised in the Qīng tíyào as marking the moment when sìliù lost the gravitas of its early-Sòng masters and decayed into bureaucratic ornament.
