Lǐ Cōngfǔ 李聰甫 (1905–1990), self-styled Lǎo Cōng 老聰, was a prominent twentieth-century Chinese-medicine reformer and theorist. Born in Huángméi 黃梅 (Húběi), he practised medicine at Jiǔjiāng 九江 (Jiāngxī) for a substantial period before wartime displacement brought him to Xīnhuà 新化 in Húnán, where he completed his Mázhěn zhuānlùn 麻疹專論 (KR3ej058) in 1940. He later served as a senior member of the Húnán Chinese-medicine institute and wrote extensively in the Republican-era zhōngxī huìtōng 中西匯通 (Chinese-Western synthesis) tradition.
His best-known publication is the Lǐ Cōngfǔ yīlùn 《李聰甫醫論》 (Húnán Kēxué jìshù chūbǎnshè, 1979 and reprinted many times), a collection of medical essays and case histories spanning Republican-era and PRC-era clinical practice. He was an early classical-medicine voice for re-reading the Sùwèn / Língshū “six-qì” (liùyuán) epidemic-prediction tradition in light of modern infectious-disease epidemiology. His friendship and correspondence with the Shanghai Xīnwénbào · Guóyī zhōukān editor Lù Shìè 陸士諤 connected him to the Shanghai classical-medicine reform circle.
