阎小萍

Yan Xiaoping is an author about whom little public information is available; only three medical works are known, namely Annotated Clinical Cases of Jiao Shude, Selected Experiences of Yan Xiaoping in Treating Rheumatic Diseases from the Perspective of the Spleen and Stomach, and Ten Lectures on Medical Methods and Insights. Judging from the titles and the medical classification, her writing centers on clinical practice and academic transmission in traditional Chinese medicine: it includes organized and annotated case records of a senior physician, a focused summary of experience in treating rheumatic diseases from the spleen-and-stomach angle, and discussions of medical methods and principles. Aimed at medical readers, the works are built around case records, treatment approaches, and practical insights, emphasizing the organization of clinical thinking and the applicability of experience. They offer reference value in the fields of rheumatology in Chinese medicine and clinical study. As information on her dates, nationality, education, and positions is unavailable, further material is needed to complete her biographical background.
