Liu Yijing(劉義慶, 403 – 26 February 444) was a literary figure of the Song dynasty (宋) during the Six Dynasties period of China. He was a native of Pengcheng (彭城) Shouli [綬里: present-day Tongshan District, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province (江蘇省)]. The Song dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period is also called "Liu Song" (劉宗), because its founding emperor was Liu Yu (劉裕). Liu Yijing was the nephew of Emperor Wu (武帝) Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Song. After the founding of the Song, Liu Yijing was enfeoffed as Prince of Linchuan (臨川王) and held posts including Left Vice Director of the Department of State Affairs (尙書左僕射), Governor of Danyang (丹陽尹), and Regional Inspector of Jingzhou (荊州刺史). After his death he was posthumously granted the titles Attendant Secretary (侍中) and Minister of Works (司空), and received the posthumous name Kang (康王).
Liu Yijing was fond of literature and invited many men of letters to compile various works together. He wrote many works, including the ≪Xuanyan Ji≫ (宣驗記), ≪Shishuo Xinyu (世說新語)≫, ≪Youming Lu (幽明錄)≫, ≪Xiaoshuo (小說)≫, ≪Xuzhou Xianxian Zhuan (徐州先賢傳)≫, ≪Jiangzuo Mingshi Zhuan (江左名士傳)≫, ≪Yijing Ji (義慶集)≫, and ≪Jilin (集林)≫, but all of them except the ≪Shishuo Xinyu≫ have been lost. His biographies are found in volume 51 of the ≪Song Shu (宋書)≫ and volume 13 of the ≪Nan Shi (南史)≫.
