Chén Liánfǎng 陳蓮舫 (Chén Bǐngjūn 陳秉鈞, zì Liánfǎng, 1837–1914), native of Qīngpǔ 青浦 (now in Shànghǎi). The nineteenth-generation descendant of a hereditary medical lineage, he became one of the most prominent late-Qīng Jiāngnán physicians. Five times summoned to the imperial court (光緒辛卯, 甲午, 戊戌, 庚子, 辛丑) to attend the Cíxǐ Empress Dowager and the Guāngxù emperor, he held the honorary title tàiyī yuàn 太醫院 yùyī 御醫. He moved his clinical practice to Shànghǎi in the late 1890s and became, with 費繩甫 Fèi Shéngfǔ and 丁甘仁 Dīng Gānrén, one of the three pillars of late-Qīng / early-Republican Shànghǎi clinical practice. He was an active institutional reformer, helping to organise Chinese-medical schools and professional societies in the late-Qīng and early-Republican Shànghǎi.
