Huáng Chénghào 黃承昊 (zì Lǚsù 履素, 1572–1641), late-Míng Jiāxīng 嘉興 (Zuìlǐ 檇李) lay scholar-official. Qīnchāi xúnshì hǎidào jiānlǐ biānchǔ Fújiàn ànchásī àncháshǐ 欽差巡視海道兼理邊儲福建按察司按察使 (Imperial Commissioner inspecting maritime affairs and managing border provisions, Provincial Judge of Fújiàn). Took up medical study after his own protracted youthful illness (hence the zhégōng 折肱 / “broken-arm” Confucian metaphor for becoming a physician through personal suffering).
Medical work: Author of Zhégōng mànlù 折肱漫錄 (KR3eq067, Chóngzhēn period, c. 1635) — a six-juǎn memoir-and-treatise combining the author’s lifelong record of his own clinical self-treatment, drug-and-formulary observations, and dietary-hygienic reflection. Among the most-cited late-Míng lay-physician self-treatment memoirs.
Buddhist patronage: Author of one of the two front-prefaces to KR6q0461 《興善南明廣禪師語錄》, framing Nánmíng Huìguǎng 慧廣 南明慧廣 (1576–1620) as the “正傳而韜寂” Línjì master who refused to publicize his teaching while privately enjoying the recognition of contemporaries such as Wéngǔ 聞谷 (= 廣應廣印) and Xuětíng 雪庭. The preface emphasizes Huìguǎng’s deliberate refusal to print yǔlù during his lifetime and the special importance of his sole heir 妙用 Yuānhú Miàoyòng in preserving any of the master’s words at all. Huáng’s official-rank gives the volume some lay-official patronage weight.
Within the Kanripo corpus: KR3eq067 Zhégōng mànlù (medical memoir, 撰); KR6q0461 Xīngshàn NánmíngGuǎng chánshī yǔlù (Buddhist preface).
