During the Zhengde period, Liu Yusheng served as the inspector of Guizhou to supervise the imperial history, which was related to Liu Jin and Wang Yangming, two well-known figures.
Some documents believe that Liu Yusheng was a henchman of the eunuch Liu Jin, and some documents believe that the two were political enemies. In the early Qing Dynasty, Yu Jiacai's passionate work on the history of Shishou, "Embroidered Forest Jingxian", wrote: "Liu Gong Baitan, Tingfu folded Liu Jin, and there was a small imperial history in the palace. ”
In the first year of Zhengde (1506), Wang Yangming angered Liu Jin and was demoted to Guizhou Longchang as a postmaster, and had a friendship with Liu Yusheng. There are also documents that believe that Liu Yusheng was sent by Liu Jin to Guizhou to "brush the scroll". The so-called brushing of the scrolls is to inspect the trial of criminal prison cases by the subordinate yamen.

"Wangfu Stone"
Liu Mian only flew again in the snow, and Si Jun remembered the time of farewell to Jun.
Hengyang Yan broke all the books, and the Chibi Dragon controversy was strange.
Cold Moon Guan Shan Fei Dream Far, Tianlian Wu Chu Cloud Fans.
Linfeng mo sent tears of acacia, flowing to the endless period of the Yangtze River.
Legend has it that after Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang held a wedding in Shishou, they marched west into Sichuan. Sun Shangxiang let people build a high platform on Xiulin Mountain, looking west every day, known as "Wangfu Stone".
Six Lakes Mountain
The stone forest is divided into Pingwu, and a thousand stacks of green mountains surround the six lakes.
People on both sides of the strait are smoking, and a river of flowers and willow brocade is blurred.
Jiang Lianhu crossed the flat boat far away, and the water fell on the lion rock And the moon was lonely.
The good times want to be with the gulls and herons, and the half-sails sway and fall on the calamus.
Liuhu Mountain is in the southwest of Shishou, more than 50 miles away from the urban area, "one foot two provinces, Jiming five counties", that is, Shishou and Gong'an in Hubei, Anxiang, Nanxian and Huarong in Hunan.
