Wáng Xiāngyán 王香岩 (míng Pǔyào 普耀, 1787–1857), late-Qīng wēnbìng master of Hángzhōu (literary name Wǔlín 武林). Native of Zhènhǎi 鎮海 (Níngbō prefecture, Zhèjiāng); practised in Hángzhōu for some forty years (c. 1810 to his death in 1857). The gāozú (foremost disciple) of the Húzhōu master 凌曉五 Líng Xiǎowǔ, and a major exponent of the late-Qīng wēnbìng curriculum, building on the legacy of the Sì dàjiā of Qīng wēnbìng (Yè Tiānshì, Xuē Shēngbái, Wú Jūtōng, Wáng Mèngyīng). Wáng was reluctant to write himself and instead transmitted his medical teachings orally to his disciples, who recorded them as the KR3er099 Yīxué tǐyòng 醫學體用 (c. 1830–1857, first printed 1924 in the Sānsān yīshū series). His scattered Guìxīnlú yīàn 桂馨廬醫案 case-records were posthumously published in instalments in Zhōngyī zázhì 中醫雜志 in 1922–1926. Wáng’s transmission chain — Líng Xiǎowǔ → Wáng Xiāngyán → 沈仲圭 Shěn Zhòngguī (1901–1986) — was the principal channel through which Líng Xiǎowǔ’s clinical method (preserved in Líng Lín língfāng 凌臨靈方 KR3ed143) entered the Republican-era TCM-education establishment.
