About the author

Chen Yi is an author about whom limited public information is available; her nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded. Judging from the five works held in the collection, her writing and editorial interests span medicine, law, and examination-related subjects. In medicine, she is associated with works on the integrated Chinese-Western diagnosis and treatment of vulvar and vaginal candidiasis, as well as records of reproductive medicine and gynecological practice connected to Li Liyun and Huang Jianling. In law, she took part in the collation of the Punctuated Edition of the Qing Dynasty's Current Criminal Code, and she also compiled the Collected Works of Hu Yuanyi. Overall, her work combines the organization of clinical experience in Chinese gynecology with the modern collation of traditional legal texts, emphasizing practical use and documentary preservation. The books may be useful to readers interested in integrated Chinese-Western medicine, Qing legal statutes, and the writings of Republican-era scholars.
