Huá Shòu 滑壽 (fl. Yuán late period to Míng Hóngwǔ; zì Bórén 伯仁, hào Yīngníng shēng 攖寧生) was an early-Yuán to early-Míng physician and the most influential Yuán-period commentator on the medical canon. By family origin a member of the Xǔzhōu Xiāngchéng 許州襄城 great clans, Huá’s grandfather served in the South under early-Yuán rule and the family relocated to Yízhēn 儀真 (Jiāngsū), where Huá was born; he later took up residence in Yín xiàn 鄞縣 (Zhèjiāng), and is therefore variously called “of Huáinán” (滑壽), “of Wú” (伯仁氏), or “of YínYuè” (攖寧生) according to which residence is foregrounded. He died in the early Míng (Hóngwǔ 洪武 reign 1368–1398) and is listed in the Míng shǐ “Fāngjì” 方技傳. According to the Yīngníng shēng zhuàn 攖寧生傳 by Zhū Yòu 朱右, he studied medicine under Wáng Jūzhōng 王居中 of Jīngkǒu 京口 and acupuncture under Gāo Dòngyáng 高洞陽 of Dōngpíng 東平. The popular tradition that he transmitted the medical learning of Lǐ Gǎo 李杲 of Dōngyuán 東垣 — propagated by Zhāng Zhù’s 張翥 1364 preface to the Nánjīng běnyì — is dismissed by the Sìkù editors as a chronological impossibility (Lǐ Gǎo never came south, and lifedates do not overlap).
His major works in the Kanripo corpus: Nánjīng běnyì 難經本義 (KR3e0004), Shísì jīng fāhuī 十四經發揮 (the most widely-circulated Yuán treatise on the channels of acupuncture), and Zhěnjiā shūyào 診家樞要. Dài Liáng’s 戴良 elegiac poem in the Jiǔ líng shānfáng jí 九靈山房集 (cited in the Sìkù tíyào on the Nánjīng běnyì) characterizes him as a Yuán loyalist who took to medicine to “hide himself” (託於醫以自晦) under Míng rule.
