冯珊珊

Feng Shanshan is an editor of popular books on traditional Chinese medicine, though publicly available information about her remains limited. She is the chief editor of two books, Food Therapy Recipes and External Treatment Recipes, both published by Beijing Science and Technology Press as part of the "Quick Reference to Simple Remedies" series. The two volumes collect food-therapy and external-treatment remedies by category and are arranged for easy lookup, aimed at general readers who wish to consult them in daily life and at home. Judging from these works, her editorial approach is practical: she gathers simple health-preserving and everyday-complaint remedies in plain, accessible language rather than offering a systematic account of medical theory. The books are therefore better suited as popular health references than as a basis for professional diagnosis or treatment. As her output so far is small and no other details of her background are publicly recorded, her influence lies chiefly in compiling and promoting this kind of quick-reference remedy guide.
