Yáng Shǒujìng 楊守敬 (1839–1915), zì Xīngwú 惺吾, hào Línsū lǎorén 鄰蘇老人, was a late-Qīng historical geographer, epigrapher, calligrapher, and book collector from Yídū 宜都, Húběi. As attaché to the Qīng embassy in Tokyo (1880–1884) under 何如璋 Hé Rúzhāng, he assembled the Gǔyì cóngshū 古逸叢書 (1884) and repatriated to China a large number of rare Chinese books surviving only in Japanese collections, including the Edo Igaku-kan prints of the 丹波元簡 Tamba family’s medical philology and the Ninna-ji manuscript copy of the Tàisù used by 蕭延平 Xiāo Yánpíng. He compiled the Sūi jīng zhù shū 水經注疏 (with disciple 熊會貞 Xióng Huìzhēn) and is the principal late-Qīng figure in the Sino-Japanese transmission of classical bibliography and medical literature.
