同纓，江西石城人。 Liu Tongying was a native of Shicheng in Jiangxi.

賊初至，假向榮書請入城，同纓察其詐，卻之。 When the rebels first arrived they forged a letter from Xiang Rong asking to be admitted into the city. Tongying saw through the ruse and refused.

及城陷，賦絕命詞，投水死，卹典加等，贈道銜，諡武烈。 When the city fell he wrote a final poem, threw himself into the water, and drowned. The court raised his mourning honors, posthumously granted him circuit-intendant rank, and honored him with the posthumous name Martial and Fierce.
