Wang Lyu (1332–1391), courtesy name Andao, also known as Qi Weng and Baodu Shanren, was a native of Kunshan, Jiangsu. He authored the Yijing Suhui Ji (1 volume), Baibing Gouyuan (20 volumes), Yiyun Tong (100 volumes), as well as Xiaoyi Fu, Twelve Meridian and Collateral Fu, among others. Only the Yijing Suhui Ji has been passed down. In the fourth year of the Hongwu era (1371), he traveled to Chang'an and served as the chief physician of the Prince of Qin's residence for over a decade. In 1383, he climbed to the summit of Mount Hua, painting 40 landscapes of the mountain and composing 150 poems. The paintings are now housed in the Fu Museum. The

Yijing Suhui Ji, written in 1368, contains 21 medical treatises. The title "Suhui" implies tracing the origins of medicine, exploring works such as the Neijing, Nan Jing, Bencao Jing, Cold-Damage Disease Theory, and the writings of various scholars throughout history, offering many unique insights.

Wang was particularly adept at distinguishing between cold-damage disease and warm disease, stating that warm disease is caused by "exposure to malignant and abnormal qi from the heavens," and that "warm summer heat, seasonal epidemic cold pestilence, warm malaria, wind-warmth, and warm toxin should never be treated as cold-damage disease using the six meridians."

He challenged the notion of the 397 methods of cold-damage disease since the Song dynasty, arguing that the Cold-Damage Disease Theory should be read as a methodology, advising readers to "apply it flexibly, not rigidly." This is an important idea.

Wang often offered original critiques of past physicians. His views, such as "for external afflictions, follow Zhongjing; for internal injuries, follow Dongyuan; for miscellaneous diseases, follow Danxi," became guiding principles for medical learners and are still widely followed in the medical community today.

His son, Bo Cheng, gained fame as a physician in the two capitals during the Yongle era. Having no heirs, he passed his secrets to his son-in-law, Shen Zhongshi. Zhongshi's grandson, Chengxian, was also skilled in medicine. Wang Andao had a disciple named Xu Chen, courtesy name Yuanfu, whose son-in-law, Tao Zhi of Taicang, carried on his legacy.
