Liu Xiang and Liu Xin, father and son, were from the Han Dynasty, and they were all famous Confucian scholars and bibliographers in our country.

In the third year of Heping (26 BC), Liu Xiang was ordered to start the first large-scale book schooling activity in the history of our country.At that time, most of the books confiscated by the government were scattered and incomplete. Liu's father and son invited experts and scholars to work together to edit the books.After Liu Xiang passed away, Liu Xin inherited his father's responsibilities and finally completed this huge project, writing the book "Seven Strategies", with more than 13 volumes of books recorded.The process of revising the royal collection of books by Liu and his son is also the process of their own extensive reading.The two made outstanding contributions to sorting out our country's cultural classics.
