Liu Gongquan had a successful career, but at the age of eighty-two, his reaction was a little slow because of his age.

Emperors of all dynasties loved his calligraphy and his poetic talent, and even accepted his suggestions. Liu's life, except for a little time when he was an official outside, was basically in the capital, in the palace and beside the emperor. Throughout his life, he has been writing for the royal family, ministers and relatives and friends. Liu Gongquan is like a canary in a forbidden cage. This kind of life makes him lack of magnanimity, broad vision and broad sources of life. Yan style has been changing from monument to monument, and Liu style has become less after maturity. Yan Zhenqing is like a roaring torrent, but Liu Gongquan is like a cave water flowing in the mountains and forests. These are two different perceptions of life.
