王英

Wang Ying: public information is limited, and details of this author's life, such as birth and death years, place of origin and nationality, are not clearly recorded. The thirteen works held in the library offer the main basis for understanding Wang Ying's scholarly focus. Judging from titles such as Danxi Xinfa (The Heart Methods of Danxi), Wenre Jingwei (A Compendium of Warm-Heat Diseases), Songshi Nüke Cuoyao (Essential Summaries of the Song Family's Gynecology), Suixiju Yinshi Pu (Dietary Guide from the Suixi Studio), Micuan Zhengzhi Yaojue Ji Leifang (Secretly Transmitted Essential Formulas for Diagnosis and Treatment, with Categorized Formulas) and Wenbing Xuepai (The Warm-Heat School), Wang Ying's editorial work centers on the collation of classical and clinical Chinese medical texts. These cover the doctrines of the Jin-Yuan physician Zhu Danxi, the development of the warm-heat school, gynecological essentials, and dietetic health cultivation, with some social-science content as well. A title like Guiding Drug Verification: A Record of Empirical Formulas also indicates attention to formula identification and the collection of practical remedies. These works are chiefly compilations and transcriptions of earlier medical literature, practical and documentary in style, and are of value for preserving source materials and supporting clinical and scholarly study in Chinese medicine.
