Notes
- 1 2 3 Liu Xuan's biography in Records of the Three Kingdoms mentioned that he was 15 years old (by East Asian age reckoning) in the 1st year of the Yanxi era (238-257) in Liu Shan's reign. He died in the 1st year of the Xianxi era (264-265) in Cao Huan's reign. ([延熈元年] ... 時年十五。 ... 咸熈元年正月，鍾會作亂於成都，璿為亂兵所害。) By calculation, Liu Xuan's birth year should be around 224.
