Biography

刘昼,渤海阜城人\勃海阜城人。
北齐书卷四十四 列传第三十六:
  刘昼,字孔昭,渤海阜城人也。少孤贫,爱学,负笈从师,伏膺无倦。与儒者李宝鼎同乡里,甚相亲爱,受其《三礼》。又就马敬德习《服氏春秋》,俱通大义。恨下里少坟籍,便杖策入都。知太府少卿宋世良家多书,乃造焉。世良纳之。恣意披览,昼夜不息。河清初,还冀州,举季才入京,考策不第。乃恨不学属文,方复缉缀辞藻,言甚古拙。制一首赋以"六合"为名,自谓绝伦,吟讽不辍。乃叹曰:"儒者劳而少工,见于斯矣。我读儒书二十余年而答策不第,始学作文,便得如是。"曾以此赋呈魏收,收谓人曰:"赋名六合,其愚已甚,及见其赋,又愚于名。"昼又撰《高才不遇传》三篇。在皇建、大宁之朝,又频上书,言亦切直,多非世要,终不见收采。自谓博物奇才,言好矜大,每云:"使我数十卷书行于后世,不易齐景之千驷也。"而容止舒缓,举动不伦,由是竟无仕进。天统中,卒于家,年五十二。
