LIU SHENG

'Liu Sheng' (), Prince Jing of Zhongshan (, d. 113 BCE), was a Chinese prince of the Han dynasty. He reigned from 157 BC to 141 BC. His father was Emperor Jing.
He died before his wife and was interred in a mound 95 miles from Beijing, in Hebei. His tomb was unearthed during construction in 1968. The total space of the tomb is about 2,700 cubic metres, and vaguely resembles a human body. He and his wife, Tou Wan, were both buried inside jade burial suits which consisted of 2,498 plates of solid jade connected with two and a half pounds of gold wires. 2,800 funerary offerings were also unearthed.
He was an ancestor of Liu Bei, ruler of the Kingdom of Shu in the Three Kingdoms period.
Liu Sheng had at least one son: Liu Zhen.
