Liu Ling also wrote a Ode to De Jiu, in which he wrote: A true saint regards the universe as a moment, takes the sky as an account, takes the sun and the moon as doors and windows, takes the famine as a courtyard, takes drinking as the main business, indulges himself, despises etiquette, does not listen to thunder, does not see the shape of Mount Tai, does not know the changes of cold and heat, and is indifferent to secular feelings, sobers up, sobers up and wakes up.

Liu Ling worked as an official for a while, but she was fired because she did nothing in the office. Later, the court wanted to commandeer him. When he heard that the messenger was coming, he was as drunk as a fiddler and streaked at the entrance of the village.
