Liu Yiqing, the king of Linchuan in the Southern Dynasty of the Song Dynasty, gathered the sages who had reached the pinnacle of literary attainments in the world and compiled a classic work of traditional Chinese studies that flowed for hundreds of generations, and a notebook-style literary novel "The New Language of the World".
Liu Yiqing himself is a literary master with outstanding literary talent. He also gathered the literary Junyan of that time, such as Yuan Shu, the taiwei of the Wenguan Tianxia, as well as Bao Zhao, who enjoyed a high reputation in later generations, as well as Wu Junlu Zhan, He Changyu of the East China Sea, and others, and for the beauty of the dictionary, the writing was extraordinary. Later generations described this book as "simple and wonderful, interesting and self-indulgent", with unspoken magic, which is amazing. Deeply loved by the Emperor Guiqi and down to the cloth Li Shu, he was listed by posterity as the Treasure Book of the Four Treasuries, which was actually a good companion for reading and beneficial to the collection of Traditional Chinese Studies.
Mr. Lu Xun praised the "New Language of the World" as "a textbook of famous scholars" and "a textbook of famous scholars".
Such a book records all kinds of words, deeds, thoughts, and deeds of emperors, generals, celebrities, and sages, counting thirty-six aspects of virtue, grace, taste, tolerance, injury, Ren birthday, and knowledge, and the way of wei and Jin is breathtaking.

Such a young talent was seen dead at the age of twenty-seven:
