Wāng Wénqǐ 汪文綺 (zì Yùngǔ 蘊谷, fl. mid-18th century), Qing physician of Hǎiyáng 海陽 (Wùyuán 婺源, in Huīzhōu 徽州 prefecture, modern Jiāngxī). Inherited a hereditary medical practice from his father Shízhōu 十洲 and elder brother Guǎngqī 廣期, both locally esteemed physicians; declined a literary-official career to continue the family practice, devoting his free hours to poetry. His clinical reputation in Wùyuán was such that “patients filled the threshold.”
Wāng’s principal — and apparently only — surviving medical work is the Zázhèng huìxīn lù 雜症會心錄 (KR3eh007, 2 juǎn, 1754), a Xīn’ān 新安-school zábìng manual whose doctrinal stance follows Zhāng Jièbīn 張介賓 (the Jǐngyuè quánshū tradition) in centring fúyáng yǎngxīn 扶陽養心 (supporting yáng, nourishing the heart). The work is notable for its sustained discussion of lung-abscess (fèiyōng 肺癰) and its account of the early-stage diagnostic challenge — the syndrome being “easiest to misdiagnose, hardest to recognise” before suppuration sets in — together with Wāng’s three-stage protocol (gānjié tāng 甘桔湯 + hēidòu tāng 黑豆湯; bǎihé gùjīn tāng 百合固金湯; post-rupture liùwèi tāng 六味湯).
Wāng is recorded in his nephew Wú Yǐzhèn 吳以鎮’s 1755 preface as having been intellectually formed in his youth by broad reading in classical literature and in his clinical practice by uncommon attention to vascular-and-pulse diagnostics (“有症同而藥異者，有症異而藥同者，莫不應手取效”); his characteristic moral feature was the gratis provision of expensive ingredients (ginseng, huángqí) to indigent patients. Lifedates not recorded in CBDB or in the standard Qing biographical compilations; bracketed by the prefaces of the Zázhèng huìxīn lù (1754, 1755) to the mid-Qiánlóng era.
