Wēn Dàmíng 溫大明 (hào Yǐnjū 隱居, “the Hidden Recluse”, fl. 1174–1210 / late 12th to early 13th c., Southern Sòng), Sòng imperial-medical-officer of Sìmíng 四明 (Níngbō 寧波, Zhèjiāng). According to his self-preface, the Wēn family was originally of Nánjīng and migrated to Sìmíng with his great-great-grandfather. Five generations of medical practice: founding teacher Wáng Chéngxuān 王承宣 → over three intermediary generations → Wēn’s father Zhìgàn 制干 (who served as medical-attendant to a Sòng prime-minister, possibly Wèi Liáowēng 魏了翁) → Wēn Dàmíng. Wēn began his independent practice in Chúnxī 1 = 1174 and served some 40 years.
He held the imperial-medical rank Bǎoyìláng 保義郎 chāchōng in the Diànqiánsī tídiǎn zhūbān yīyào fànshí jiān Héjì jú jiān shōumǎi yàocái guān — supervisor of imperial-guard medicine, food-provisioning, and the Héjì jú State Pharmacy drug procurement. The work Hǎishàng xiānfāng 海上仙方 (KR3ed129, 77 verse-formulas) is his principal extant publication; the Hǎishàng xiānfāng hòují (KR3ed136) is the supplementary collection. The works circulated through the late Sòng, Yuán, Míng, and Qīng popular-pharmacy print trade under several title-variants and are among the most-cited verse-formularies of late-Imperial China.
