Lù Shīdào 陸師道 (1510–1573, 明), Míng-period painter, poet, calligrapher, and official of Chángzhōu 長洲 county (Sūzhōu prefecture, Jiāngsū; modern Sūzhōu). Jiājìng 17 (1538) jìnshǐ; served as official in the Gōngbù 工部 (Ministry of Works) and Lǐbù 禮部 (Ministry of Rites), eventually attaining the position of Shǎoqīng 少卿 (Assistant Director) of the Tàipúsì 太僕寺 or related treasury bureau. Spent fourteen years at home caring for his aged mother before returning to office. Known as one of the most accomplished disciples of 文徵明 Wén Zhēngmíng, traditionally credited with the “four excellences” (sìjué 四絕) of poetry, painting, small-script calligraphy, and prose composition. Surviving landscape paintings are held at the National Palace Museum, Taipei.
In the context of the Kanripo medical-corpus catalog, Lù Shīdào is the author of the preface to KR3el018 Zhèngtǐ lèiyào 正體類要 by 薛己 Xuē Jǐ (preface undated, but composed during the late-Jiā-jìng period when both Lù and Xuē were active in Sūzhōu literary-medical circles). Lù had also prefaced Xuē’s earlier Wàikē shūyào 外科樞要 — the two writers were close associates within the Wén Zhēngmíng — Xuē Jǐ Sūzhōu cultural network. CBDB does not have a reliable id (the medical-prefatory role is not catalogued in the standard CBDB official-career data).
