Yè Qízhēn 葉其蓁 (fl. early Yōngzhèng era, early 18th c. 清), physician of the early-Qīng period whose works were published in 1724 (Yōngzhèng 2) with the prefatorial endorsement of the senior Wényuāngé dàxuéshì 文淵閣大學士 Zhāng Pénghé 張鵬翮 (1649–1725) of Chéngdū. Yè’s principal works:
- Màijìng 脈鏡 (Mirror of Pulse-Diagnosis), a pulse-diagnostic textbook.
- Shísānkē zhǐzhǎng 十三科指掌 (Pointing-to-the-Palm in the Thirteen Specialties), a 13-specialty medical curriculum text, from which the Nǚkē zhǐzhǎng 女科指掌 (KR3ei027) is extracted.
His son Yè Xīnpéi 葉心培 brought the manuscripts to the capital for the 1724 examination season and secured the imprint and Zhāng’s preface. The gēlùnmàifāng pedagogical schema of the Shísānkē zhǐzhǎng became influential as an antecedent of the imperial Yīzōng jīnjiàn (1742) format. No further biographical detail located; not in CBDB.
