In the fifth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (AD 1632), Liu went to Songjiang and changed his old name, calling himself "Shadow Pity" to show his self-pity in troubled times. In Songjiang, I associate with party member, such as Fu Xin, Ji Xin and so on. I often wear Confucian clothes and men's clothes to talk about the current situation and sing with them.

Biography of Liu (formerly known as "Life-saving Poems of Qian Liu")
Overall evaluation of the characters Liu was a famous geisha talented woman during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. She has a strong personality, integrity, intelligence and courage. As far as literary talent is concerned, she is known as the first of the "Eight Colors of Qinhuai". Calligraphy and painting are also famous, and her paintings are ingenious and simple, beautiful and beautiful; Calligraphy has won the admiration of future generations, calling it "iron fist with silver hook, which once collected wonderful traces."
In addition, women in Zuowei Liu, a traditional society, have deep feelings for home and country and political ambitions. Among the celebrities I associate with, I am Zhang Pu, Li Cun, and Liu often talks with them about the rise and fall of the world. In the heyday of Ze, Liu once said to Zhang Qian, "The Central Plains is boiling, and heroes are required to come out against the enemy. They should be like Xie Dongshan, not like Tao Jing. If I were a man, I would save the country and serve the country! "
Celebrity commented on Shen Qiu's "Biography of Hedong Jun", saying that she: "Knowing books and being good at poetry, emphasizing the theme and rhyme, carving it; It is best to make things harmonious. "
Wang Guowei once wrote a poem, "A towel is enough, and brothers don't doubt it." Don't blame your daughter for being too abrupt. How many people do you need in Jimen? "In Wang Guowei's view, at the critical moment of national subjugation, those scholars who knelt on their knees, including Liu's husband, Qian (the poem's" Ji Men Chao Shi "), were far less virtuous and virtuous than Liu.
Women writers in Qing Dynasty praised her in "Brief Introduction to Liu Letters": "A thousand words are more beautiful than the Six Dynasties. She has deep feelings for her class and Cai, and many people are curious. "
Chen Yinque praised Liu as a "celebrity" and a "scholar", and thought that although she was a "girl leaning against the door in Meihui House, she was a little woman who took precautions", and her deeds made people "cry". However, in the feudal society where male dominance dominated everything, she was not treated and evaluated fairly, and even "despised by scholars at that time" and "falsely accused by frivolous people in later generations". Most of the rumors and records about Liu were "simple mistakes" and "more than facts".
Chen Yinque evaluated Liu with the spirit of "independence" and said: "Although Qian Liu's articles were found, it was even more difficult to destroy the remnant que. He was often found alone and had people who could make people cry but could not hold themselves. My husband's ambition to die in the Qin Dynasty is expressed in nine chapters, that is, from the scholar-officials of that day, and it is advisable to cherish the idea of praising the spirit of national independence and freedom. What's more, gracefu's "The Girl Leaning on the Door" came out. She was a young woman who was prepared for a rainy day, but she was deeply despised by the scholars at that time and falsely accused by the frivolous people of later generations! " (The Origin of Liu)
Yu Dafu recorded Liu's poem "I smell the spring room" in "Entertainment in Summer". As far as literary talent is concerned, she is the first of the "Eight Colors of Qinhuai".
Liu Mengxi commented on Liu with "Knowing the Truth in the Cave": "Hedong Jun was able to stand in the land of beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River, and was appreciated, respected and cited as a confidant by the victorious people at that time. Naturally, this is not only because of her intelligence, beauty, versatility and depth of poetic attainments, but also because she has courage and ambition, knows the truth from the cave, and has political ambition ..... Three years after the overthrow of Nandu in the Ming Dynasty, Hedong Jun did not laugh. ("Prove history by poetry, repair history by biography, and save poetry")
Li Luan's Price Marked clearly commented on Liu: "The tragic Dream of Red Mansions opened up a world of humanity in an inhuman world, and Liu Chuan introduced a group of bright personalities from the abyss of history. The so-called bright personality, like the existence in martin heidegger's Being and Time, is either an openness to one-day existence or a concern for one-day existence. I secretly think that it is this caring personality theme, rather than the patriotic enthusiasm that ordinary people say, that makes Liu Biezhuan higher than other similar works and comparable to A Dream of Red Mansions.
