Liu Yuchun

Liu Jingting (, ca.1587–ca. 1670) was a Chinese raconteur.

Liu had a swarthy pockmarked face. Thus, he was nicknamed "Pockmarked Liu". His original surname is Cao. He had an unscrupulous adolescence in Taizhou. Using an alias, he got off the indictment and fled toward Xuyi, at the age of about 15. There, he began to live on storytelling.

Liu flittered around the south of the Yangtze River (Jiangnan) later. He met Mo Houguang, a Confucian tutor, in Songjiang and was given instruction in storytelling. He even designated Liu as his representative to the court in Nanjing. Liu also used his stories to inspire the army.

After Zuo's death, Liu had to resumed his career. His business got worse in the embattled Jiangnan. In his eighties, he still worked at streets.

Liu is made as a minor character who has righteous, brave and loyal attributes in the play The Peach Blossom Fan.
