'''Liu Chi-hsiang''' ({{zh|t=劉啟祥|p=Liú Qǐxiáng|poj=Lâu Khé-siông}}: Korean: ''(류)유지상'' ; 3 February 1910 – 27 April 1998) was a Taiwanese painter. He was born in ''Ryūei'', Tainan-chō, [[Taiwan under Japanese rule|Japanese Taiwan]] (modern-day [[Liouying District|Liouying]], [[Tainan]], [[Taiwan]]). In 1923, Liu finished his Public School education and headed to [[Japan]] to study abroad in {{nihongo||青山学院|[[Aoyama Gakuin]]}}.

Liu got into [[Bunka Gakuin]] to study art in 1928, and graduated from this college in 1931. He went to [[France]] later, and began to study [[painting]] by imitate some European oil paint works, especially the [[impressionism]] paintings. After his Europe travel, Liu received several art awards in Japan and Taiwan for his oil paint works, and got married in 1937. He lived in Japan until the [[World War II]] was end.

After the end of war, Liu returned to [[Taiwan]], continued to work on his artistic creations. He moved to [[Kaohsiung]] in 1948. After the first wife's death, he married with his second wife in 1952. Liu spent his old age promoting the [[art education]] of Taiwan.
