Abstract

Chen Xunzhai was a famous Fujian traditional Chinese medicine expert in the period of the Republic of China. There are different records of his native place in the existing literature. By reviewing the published journals and books, interviewing Chen Xunzhai's scattered works and genealogy and visiting his descendants, this article conducted investigations and researches and confirmed that Chen Xunzhai, also named Guangcheng, was born in Shangyang Village, Gaopo Town in Yongding County of Fujian Province. He was the 22nd generation of descendants of Chen family in Shangyang Yingchuan County, not the descendant of the Chen family in Jiang Tian Nanyang of Chang Le City. Neither was he the seventh-generation grandson of Chen Xiuyuan. The findings of this paper will lay the foundation for the further researches on Chen Xunzhai.

陈逊斋是民国时期福建籍中医名家,现有文献中对其籍贯记载不一,通过查阅发表的期刊、书籍,寻访陈逊斋散落著作、族谱,走访陈逊斋后裔等方式对陈逊斋籍贯进行调查考证,确定陈逊斋(哉),名广诚,籍贯是福建省永定县高陂镇上洋村,属上洋颍川陈氏第二十二世,非长乐江田南阳陈氏裔孙,更非陈修园七世孙。为下一步陈逊斋相关研究奠定基础。.

Keywords: Chen Xunzhai; birthplace; doctors in Fujian; doctors in the Republic of China.
