Mǎ Péizhī 馬培之 (míng Wénzhí 文植, zì Péizhī, 1820–1903) was the most celebrated physician of the Mènghé 孟河 (Wújìn) school in the 19th century and one of the leading clinicians of late-Qīng China. Native of Mènghé village (in Wújìn 武進, Chángzhōu prefecture, Jiāngsū), he descended from a five-generation medical lineage and developed the family practice into a clinical orthodoxy that combined jīngfāng (classical-formula), warm-disease, and external-medicine skills. In 1880 (Guāngxù 6) he was summoned to Beijing to treat the Empress Dowager Cíxǐ 慈禧 alongside a panel of leading physicians; his role in the imperial consultation made him nationally famous. His extant clinical records — including the Héhuǎn yífēng 和緩遺風 (KR3ed066, “Lingering Style of [the great early-Spring-and-Autumn physicians] Yī Hé and Yī Huǎn”), the Mǎ Péizhī yīān 馬培之醫案, and several external-medicine works — are major sources for the Mènghé synthesis that would, through his disciple’s-disciple Dīng Gānrén 丁甘仁, shape early-Republican Shanghai medicine.
