Liu Bingzhong

However his teacher thought that his talent should not be buried, so he recommended Liu Bingzhong to Kublai Khan, to become his adviser.

[2][3] Liu Bingzhong and Yao Shu made a plan "to canvass all talented to give well-governorship suggestions".

[clarification needed] Many Confucianists, such as Xu Heng, Wang Xun, Zhang Yi, were attracted to provide ruse to Kublai Khan, who later became the founder of the Yuan Dynasty.

Liu also designed and planned the layout of the Yuan's summer capital at Xanadu (Shangdu).

When he became the teacher of Zhenjin, who later became the Crown Prince (Chinese: 皇太子), he set up the Zishan College in Wuon Mountain to teach Confucianism and Natural Science.
