冼玉清
冼玉清(1895年-1965年),女,別署「碧琅玕館主」,原籍廣東省南海縣西樵,生於澳門。詩人、畫家、國學學者、教授、廣東文獻專家,有「嶺南第一才女」、「千百年來嶺南巾幗無人能出其右」之美譽。

冼玉清十六、七歲時就決意「獨身不嫁」。年輕時已表示要「以事業為丈夫,以學校為家庭,以學生為兒女」﹔「立志終身從事教育,犧牲個人幸福,以為人群造幸福。」,終身不曾婚嫁。冼一生儉樸,樂於助人,曾資助著名音樂家冼星海赴法國巴黎音樂學院留學,主攻聲樂。1941年12月8日,太平洋戰爭爆發,日寇竄入廣州嶺南大學,冼家被掠刼。也是落難香港的冼玉清,聞知陳寅恪一家窮愁困厄,託人給送去四十港元的「軍票」給陳,陳雖未接受,但甚感高誼,直至1966年冼病故,陳輓詩猶記「患難朋交」贈款一事。她一生撙節所得,幾乎全部捐獻給國家。冼寫道:「如何用途?由你們支配,總要用得適當就好。但此事只係圈內人知道便了。切不可宣傳,更不可嘉獎。朱柏盧家訓中所謂『善款人見,不是真善』,這句格言,是我素來服膺的。」
