Wáng Hóngxù 王洪緒 (míng Wéidé 維德; hào Línwū sànrén 林屋散人 / Línwū shānrén 林屋山人 / Dìngdìngzǐ 定定子, c. 1669 – c. 1749, 清), early-Qīng physician of Dòngtíng Xīshān 洞庭西山 / Wúxiàn 吳縣 (Sūzhōu, Jiāngsū). Founder of the so-called 全生派 quánshēng pài surgical school. His KR3ek017 Wàikē quánshēng jí 外科全生集 (1 juǎn, 1740; expanded by Mǎ Péizhī in 1883 to 4 juǎn) — together with Chén Shígōng’s KR3ek014 Wàikē zhèngzōng and Qí Kūn’s KR3ek011 Wàikē dà chéng — is one of the three pillars of late-imperial Chinese surgery, the only one of the three that systematically rejects operative intervention (knife, needle, cautery, corrosive shēngdān) in favour of internal yánghé warming-tonification. Wáng’s signature formulae — Yánghé tāng 陽和湯, Xīhuáng wán 犀黃丸, Xǐngxiāo wán 醒消丸, Xiǎojīn dān 小金丹, Zǐlóng wán 子龍丸 — remain core prescriptions of modern Chinese surgery. CBDB row 280941 lists a Wáng Hóngxù as Míng dynasty — apparently a homonym; conventional lifedates c. 1669–1749 (the 1740 preface gives his age as 72 suì) are followed here and not entered as a CBDB id.
