颜乾麟

Yan Qianlin is an author of medical books, about whom limited public information is available. Three of his works are included in the library: Lecture Highlights from the Tongji University Master of Chinese Medicine Inheritance Class, A New Edition of Yan Dexin's Secret Methods for Diagnosing and Treating Difficult and Complicated Diseases, and A Collection of Experience in Herbal Paste Formulas from Famous Shanghai Chinese Medicine Practitioners. These titles indicate that his writing centers on traditional Chinese medicine, covering the transmission of academic knowledge, the diagnosis and treatment of difficult and complicated diseases, and the application of herbal paste formulas. The works are largely instructional and experiential in nature: some gather lecture content, some reorganize clinical experience, and others focus on the paste-formula practice of famous Shanghai practitioners. They are intended for Chinese medicine practitioners and learners as clinical reference and study material. As his dates of birth and death, nationality, education, and career cannot be confirmed, no inferences are made here; this introduction is based solely on the known works.
