Ge Hong
283 CE–343 CE · Jurong
Ge Hong (Chinese: 葛洪; pinyin: Gě Hóng; Wade–Giles: Ko Hung; b. 283 – d. 343 or 364), courtesy name Zhichuan (稚川), was a Chinese linguist, philosopher, physician, politician, and writer during the Eastern Jin dynasty. He was the author of Essays on Chinese Characters, the Baopuzi, the Emergency Formulae at an Elbow's Length, among others. He was the originator of first aid in traditional Chinese medicine and influenced later generations. He also took on the name Baopuzi (Chinese: 抱朴子), with which translates literally as 'embracing simplicity'—a reflection of his commitment to fundamental virtues, unadorned truth, and detachment from material temptations.
