馥子靖，黃初中從黃門侍郎遷廬江太守，詔曰：「卿父昔為彼州，今卿復據此郡，可謂克負荷者也。」轉在河內，遷尚書，賜爵關內侯，出為河南尹。散騎常侍應璩書與靖曰：「入作納言，出臨京任。富民之術，日引月長。藩落高峻，絕穿窬之心。五種別出，遠水火之災。農器必具，無失時之闕。蠶麥有苫備之用，無雨濕之虞。封符指期，無流連之吏。鰥寡孤獨，蒙廩振之實。加之以明擿幽微，重之以秉憲不撓；有司供承王命，百里垂拱仰辨。雖昔趙、張、三王之治，未足以方也。」靖為政類如此。初雖如碎密，終於百姓便之，有馥遺風。母喪去官，後為大司農衞尉，進封廣陸亭侯，邑三百戶。上疏陳儒訓之本曰：「夫學者，治亂之軌儀，聖人之大教也。自黃初以來，崇立太學二十餘年，而寡有成者，蓋由愽士選輕，諸生避役，高門子弟，恥非其倫，故無學者。雖有其名而無其人，雖設其教而無其功。宜高選博士，取行為人表，經任人師者，掌教國子。依遵古法，使二千石以上子孫，年從十五，皆入太學。明制黜陟榮辱之路；其經明行脩者，則進之以崇德；荒教廢業者，則退之以懲惡；舉善而教不能則勸，浮華交游，不禁自息矣。闡弘大化，以綏未賔；六合承風，遠人來格。此聖人之教，致治之本也。」後遷鎮北將軍，假節都督河北諸軍事。靖以為「經常之大法，莫善於守防，使民夷有別」。遂開拓邊守，屯據險要。又脩廣戾陵渠大堨，水溉灌薊南北；三更種稻，邊民利之。嘉平六年薨，追贈征北將軍，進封建成鄉侯，謚曰景侯。子熙嗣。

Deeds
During the Huangchu era, Liu Jing was promoted from Attendant Gentleman of the Yellow Gate to Administrator of Lujiang, then transferred to Henei. He was appointed as a Secretariat Drafter, granted the title of Marquis Within the Passes, and later served as Intendant of Henan. His administration initially seemed meticulous and overly detailed, but ultimately benefited the people and carried on his father’s legacy. (As recorded in the histories)
After his mother died, Liu Jing left office to observe mourning. He later served as Grand Minister of Agriculture and Commandant of the Guards, and was promoted to Marquis of Guanglu Ting. (As recorded in the histories)
Liu Jing submitted a memorial outlining the foundations of Confucian education. He recommended selecting erudites and having the sons and grandsons of officials ranked at two thousand piculs or above enter the Imperial Academy, and promoting education through evaluations and rewards and punishments. (As recorded in the histories)
Later, Liu Jing served as General Who Guards the North, holding imperial authority and overseeing all military affairs in Hebei. He expanded the frontier defenses, secured strategic passes, and built and enlarged the Liling Canal and its weir to irrigate the lands north and south of Ji. He also promoted rice cultivation that yielded three harvests a year, benefiting the people along the frontier. (As recorded in the histories)
Liu Jing died in the sixth year of the Jiaping era. He was posthumously granted the title of General Who Conquers the North, promoted to Marquis of Jiancheng Township, and given the posthumous title of Jing. (As recorded in the histories)
