Liu Qi (Song dynasty)

Liu Qi (simplified Chinese: 刘跂; traditional Chinese: 劉跂; pinyin: Liú Qí; birth date unknown; died 1117;[1] courtesy name: Sili 斯立) was a scholar of the Song dynasty. He was the son of the official Liu Zhi (劉摯).

Life

Liu Qi was a native of Dongguang (東光), in present-day Hebei province. In 1079 (the second year of the Yuanfeng era), he passed the jinshi examination and was appointed as a teacher in Bozhou (亳州). At the beginning of the Yuanyou era (1086–1094), he was transferred to serve as a teacher in Caozhou (曹州). In his later years, he lived in seclusion in Dongping (東平), avoiding contact with others, and few people ever saw his face.[2] According to Su Shi (1037–1101), he and Liu Sili once discovered an old manuscript of Poetic Collection of Vice Director Du[3] (Du yuanwai shiji 杜员外诗集) in a leaf book of a family from Guancheng.[4] Liu Qi authored a work titled Xueyi ji 學易集/学易集 (8 juan; translatable as “Collection from the Studies of the Changes”) and other works.
