Profile
Liu Tao was the younger son of Liu Ye of Wei. The Records give him no biography of his own; he appears briefly at the end of the account of Liu Ye in the Biographies of Cheng, Guo, Dong, Liu, Jiang and Liu in Records of Wei 14. Records, Wei 14 §110–111
Chen Shou wrote that he was highly talented but frivolous in conduct, and that he rose in office to Administrator of Pingyuan. The Records contain no assessment of him, and Chen Shou's main text does not record his courtesy name or his death. He does not appear in the Romance. Records, Wei 14 §111
In the Records
His father Liu Ye was made Grand Palace Grandee because of illness in the 6th year of Taihe (232); before long he became Grand Herald, stepped down after two years, became Grand Palace Grandee again, and then died. His posthumous title was Marquis Jing, and his son Liu Yu (劉寓) succeeded him. Records, Wei 14 §109
His younger son Liu Tao was likewise highly talented but frivolous in conduct, and rose in office to Administrator of Pingyuan. Records, Wei 14 §111
This passage is the only place in Chen Shou's main text where Liu Tao appears. His courtesy name, his deeds and his death are not recorded, and the Records contain no assessment of him. Records, Wei 14 §110–111
