Wang Ao was a famous politician and litterateur in the middle of Ming Dynasty. Wang Ao Ji comprehensively sorts out Wang's works for the first time, and collects all the poems and notes written by himself. A total of 38 physicians were recorded in Wang Ao Ji, among them, Wang Ao had close contacts with many physicians such as Zhou Geng, Zhou Xu'an, Sheng Rubi, Zhang Yangzheng and Chen Chong. Wang Ao and Zhou Geng are both core members of the literary society of Wuzhong, in the capital of Beijing. Wang Ao once wrote an epitaph for Zhou Xu'an, a tablet inscription for Sheng Rubi and a biography for Zhang Yangzheng. And Chen Chong once cured Wang's nephew's diarrhea caused by acne rash.The biographical records of physicians in Wang Ao Ji are highly reliable, and some medical information is the main source of official history and medical history works, which contains important historical value. Relevant contents about medical figures recorded in class of works, local chronicles, genealogy, anthology, notes and other ancient books, to a great extent, enrich biographical data of physicians, which is worth further research.
王鏊是明代中叶著名的政治家和文学家。《王鏊集》首次对王鏊著作全面整理，汇集了王鏊生平自撰所有诗文、笔记。《王鏊集》中共发现医家38人，王鏊与周庚、周煦庵、盛汝弼、张养正、陈宠等多位医家交往甚密，与周庚同为京师吴中同乡文字会的核心成员，曾为周煦庵作墓表、为盛汝弼作碑文、为张养正作传，陈宠曾治愈王鏊外甥的痘疹后泄泻。《王鏊集》中载述医家数量众多，当因王鏊在朝为官35年，交游广泛，善于应酬；其籍贯为名医辈出的吴中地区，又善读医书，知晓医理，编纂医方。《王鏊集》中医学人物传记资料可信度高，部分医家资料又是正史、医史著作的主要来源，蕴含着重要的史料价值。分布于类书、方志、族谱、文集、笔记等各种典籍中的相关医家载述，在很大程度上弥补了医家传记资料的缺失，值得深入挖掘。.
