He was the main advisor to Zhu Yuanzhang and in Chinese folklore the brightest person only after Zhuge Liang^{[citation needed]} who he did some editing/co-writing Zhuge's "Mastering the Art of War" book.

Liu Ji (Bowen) was named after Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang as the most brilliant strategist to assist in military campaigns. All of them were believed to be the reincarnation of each other to carry out the mandate of heaven. They were capable of predicting past and future and understood the stars formation.
