Liu was a calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Desheng, a native of Yingchuan (now Yuzhou City), was a famous calligrapher during the Huan and Ling Dynasties in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The founder of running script calligraphy, because he created a "running script" font between regular script and cursive script, was also called "the originator of running script" by later generations. Desheng's running script calligraphy is the first, but its handwriting is beautiful, graceful and graceful, so simple, the strokes are concise, distant from the square, and the calligraphy is thick and fast. It was listed as a "wonderful work" by later generations and was unique at that time.
