劉祁曰：「金自南渡之後，為宰執者往往無恢復之謀，臨事相習低言緩語，互相推讓，以為養相體。 Liu Qi said: "After the Jin moved south of the river, those who served as chief ministers often had no plan for recovery. When crises arose they spoke in muted, measured tones and deferred to one another, calling it the proper dignity of a councilor.

祁字京叔，渾源人。 Qi, courtesy name Jingshu, was a native of Hunyuan.

贊曰：劉京叔《歸潛志》與元裕之《壬辰雜編》二書雖微有異同，而金末喪亂之事猶有足征者焉。 The encomium says: Liu Jingshu's Returning to Seclusion and Yuan Yuzhi's Miscellaneous Records of the Renchen Year, though they differ in minor details, still provide valuable testimony on the chaos at the end of the Jin.
