Qín Bówèi 秦伯未 (1901–1970), original given name 之濟 Zhījì, zì Bówèi 伯未, hào Qiānzhāi 謙齋, was one of the principal Shanghai-school Chinese-medicine physicians of the Republican and PRC periods. Native of Wúxī 無錫 (Jiāngsū), trained in classical Chinese medicine at the Shanghai TCM Specialist College 上海中醫專門學校 (1919–1923) under 丁甘仁 (Dīng Gānrén, the school’s founder) and 曹穎甫 (Cáo Yǐngfǔ / Zhuōcháo 拙巢), and graduated in 1923. After graduation Qín practiced in Shanghai and produced a substantial body of pedagogical work, becoming one of the most widely-read modern Chinese-medicine educators. After 1949 he relocated to Běijīng and served as a senior consultant at the Ministry of Health, contributing centrally to the standardization of modern TCM curricula in the 1950s–60s.
Qín’s Qiānzhāi yī xué jiǎng gǎo 謙齋醫學講稿 is one of the most widely-circulated modern Chinese-medicine teaching texts. He also re-collated and prefaced several Republican-period medical reprints, most notably the 1924 Shanghai edition of Cáo Yǐngfǔ’s ShānghánJīnguì fā wēi (KR3ef093) — his 1924 preface to which is one of the principal biographical witnesses to Cáo Yǐngfǔ’s medical-pedagogical work and to Republican-period Shanghai jīngfāng 經方 school practice. Qín died in Běijīng in 1970, aged 69.
