Chén Qiú 陳虯 (zì Zhìsān 志三, hào Zhélú 蟄廬, 1851–1903), late-Qīng reformist intellectual, physician, and educator of Wēnzhōu (Ōujùn 甌郡), Zhèjiāng. CBDB id 81330.
Chén Qiú is best known to political history as one of the so-called “Yǒngjiā sìjiā” 永嘉四傑 (“Four Wēnzhōu Reformists”) of the Wùxū 戊戌 1898 reform movement, alongside Sòng Héng 宋衡, Chén Fúchén 陳黻宸, and Hú Diéxiān 胡蝶仙; he was active in the Qiángxuéhuì 強學會 and corresponded with Kāng Yǒuwéi 康有為 and Liáng Qǐchāo 梁啟超 on questions of administrative and educational reform. He authored political-economy treatises (Zhìpíng tōngyì 治平通議, Yōngyán 庸言, etc.) and a reform proposal Jīngshì bóyì 經世博議 (1893).
In medicine, Chén Qiú founded the Lǐjīng yīyuàn 利濟醫院 in Wēnzhōu in 1885 — a foundational late-Qīng modern Chinese-medicine school combining traditional zhōngyī curriculum with Western anatomy, hygiene, and pharmacy — and the affiliated journal Lǐjīng xuétáng yībào 利濟學堂醫報 (1897–) which is one of the earliest Chinese-medical periodicals. His pupil 陳葆善 Chén Bǎoshàn, the first graduate of the school, was the author of Báihóu tiáobiàn 白喉條辨 (KR3em020), to which Chén Qiú contributed the principal preface in 1898, providing the substantive critical refinement of Wú Jūtōng’s autumn-dryness theory that anchored the work’s diagnostic framework.
