劉敞曾祖節侯買，以長沙定王子封於零道之舂陵鄉，為舂陵侯。敞父仁嗣侯，於時見戶四百七十六，以舂陵地勢下濕，有山林毒氣，難以久處，上書願減戶徙南陽，留男子昌守墳墓，元帝許之。初元四年，徙南陽之白水鄉，猶以舂陵為國名，遂與眾弟鉅鹿都尉回往家焉。仁卒，敞謙儉好義，推父時金寶財產與昆弟。荊州刺史上其義行，拜盧江都尉。 |
| | Liu Chang's great-grandfather Jiehou Mai, as a son of the Prince Ding of Changsha, was enfeoffed in Chongling Xiang, Lingdao, and became the Marquis of Chongling. Chang's father Ren Sihou, at that time with 476 households under his jurisdiction, found the terrain of Chongling to be low and damp, filled with noxious mountain forest gases, making it difficult for long-term residence. He submitted a memorial requesting a reduction in households and relocation to Nanyang, leaving only the man Zhang Chang to guard the ancestral tombs; Emperor Yuan approved this request. In the fourth year of Chuyuan (61 BC), they relocated to Baishui Xiang in Nanyang, but still used "Chongling" as the name of their fief. Thus, Ju Lu Duwei Hui returned home with them. After Ren's death, Chang was modest and thrifty, valuing righteousness; he gave the gold treasures and properties from his father's time to his elder brothers. The governor of Jingzhou reported Chang's virtuous conduct, and he was appointed as Duwei of Lujiang.

敞臨廬江歲餘，遭旱，行縣，人持枯稻，自言稻皆枯。吏強責租。敞應曰：「太守事也。」載枯稻至太守所。酒數行，以語太守，太守曰：「無有。」敞以枯稻示之，太守曰：「都尉事邪？」敞怒叱太守曰：「鼠子何敢爾！」刺史舉奏，莽徵到長安，免就國。 |
| | After more than a year in charge of Lujiang, Chang encountered a drought and toured the county; people held up withered rice plants and said that all their rice had dried up. The officials harshly demanded rent. Chang replied, "This is the responsibility of the governor." He took the withered rice to the governor's office. After a few rounds of wine, he mentioned it to the governor; the governor said, "There is no such thing." Chang showed him the withered rice. The governor asked, "Is this a matter for the Duwei?" Chang angrily scolded the governor, saying, "How dare you, rat's son!" The cishi submitted a report, and Wang Mang summoned him to Chang'an, where he was dismissed from office and returned to his fief.
