臣松之案：劉焉在漢靈帝時已經宗正太常，出為益州牧，祥始以孫堅作長沙時為江夏太守，不得舉焉為孝廉，明也。〉 Pei Songzhi notes: Liu Yan had already served as director of the imperial clan and grand master of ceremonies under Emperor Ling before he became Yi governor, whereas Liu Xiang became Jiangxia administrator only during Sun Jian’s tenure at Changsha—so he could not have nominated Liu Yan as filial and incorrupt; the anecdote cannot stand.〉
