Wang Zhengyi (Chinese: 王正谊, courtesy name Zaibin Chinese: 子斌, Xiao'erjing: وْا ﺟْﻊ ىِ) (1854–1900) was a martial artist and hero during the late Qing dynasty, hailing from Cangzhou in today's Hebei Province, Wang was of Hui Muslim ethnicity. Being the fifth by seniority of his master's students, Wang came to be called Wang Wu (Chinese: 王五), i.e. Wang the fifth. His use of the dadao (the Chinese great sword) would lead to him earning the sobriquet by which he is best known, Dadao Wang Wu (Chinese: 大刀王五) (sometimes rendered in English as Broadsword Wang Wu or Great Sword Wang Wu). Liang Qichao also called him the Hero of Yānzhào from the traditional name for Hebei.
