Biography

刘巴,零陵烝阳人。
三国志卷三九 蜀书九  董刘马陈董吕传:
  刘巴字子初,零陵烝阳人也。少知名,荆州牧刘表连辟,及举茂才,皆不就。表卒,曹公征荆州。先主奔江南,荆、楚群士从之如云,而巴北诣曹公。曹公辟为掾,使招纳长沙、零陵、桂阳。会先主略有三郡,巴不得反使,遂远适交阯,先主深以为恨。
  巴复从交阯至蜀。俄而先主定益州,巴辞谢罪负,先主不责。而诸葛孔明数称荐之,先主辟为左将军西曹掾。建安二十四年,先主为汉中王,巴为尚书,后代法正为尚书令。躬履清俭,不治产业,又自以归附非素,惧见猜嫌,恭默守静,退无私交,非公事不言。先主称尊号,昭告于皇天上帝后土神祇,凡诸文诰策命,皆巴所作也。章武二年卒。卒后,魏尚书仆射陈群与丞相诸葛亮书,问巴消息,称曰刘君子初,甚敬重焉。
