Wong Fei-hung

Traditional and Historical Medicine Practitioners

Wong Fei-hung was a Chinese martial artist, physician and folk hero who practiced in nineteenth-century Guangzhou. He was regarded as an expert in the Hung Ga style of Chinese martial arts, but his real public fame was as a physician who practiced and taught acupuncture, Dit Da and other forms of traditional Chinese medicine at the Po Chi Lam, a medical clinic in Guangzhou. Two museums dedicated to him were built in his birthplace of Foshan, Guangdong.
