Shēn Gǒngchén 申拱辰 (zì Zǐjí 子極; hào Dǒuyuán 斗垣, fl. late Wànlì, 明), Míng-period physician kinsman of the Senior Grand Secretary Shēn Shíxíng 申時行 (1535–1614). Having failed in the examinations, Shēn turned to medicine and produced two specialised works: a Shānghán tongue-inspection treatise and the comprehensive twelve-juǎn KR3ek021 Wàikē qǐxuán 外科啟玄 (1604), one of the very few comprehensive Míng surgical compendia that survives complete and pre-dates Chén Shígōng’s KR3ek014 Wàikē zhèngzōng. Internal evidence (he is described as nearing sixty in 1604) gives a defensible fl. bracket of c. 1570–1610. Not in CBDB; the prefaces alone are the principal biographical source.
