Yè Lín 葉霖, zì Zǐyǔ 子雨, hào Shílín jūshì 石林居士, fl. mid-to-late Guāngxù 光緒 era (c. 1860s–1900s). Native of Yángzhōu 揚州 in Jiāngsū 江蘇. Late-Qing medical kǎojù scholar, best known for the Nànjīng zhèng yì 難經正義 (KR3ea058, self-preface 1895), one of the most philologically rigorous Nànjīng commentaries of the Qing-Republican transition. The Zhèng yì integrates the entire prior commentarial tradition (Lǚ Guǎng, Yáng Xuáncāo, Wáng Hànlín, Huá Shòu, Xú Dàchūn, Dīng Jǐn, Huáng Yuányù, Tamba) and applies late-Qing kǎojù method to each of the eighty-one nán.
Other surviving works: a treatise on the extraordinary vessels (Qí jīng bā mài kǎo zhèng 奇經八脈考證), commentaries on the Jīnguì yào lüè, and several short essays preserved in late-Qing Yángzhōu medical compilations. Lifedates are not securely recorded; the standard biographical references (Chén Bāngxián, Zhōngguó yī xué rén míng zhì, 1955; Lǐ Jīngwěi (ed.), Zhōng yī rén wù cí diǎn, 1988) place him in the late Guāngxù to early Republican period. CBDB carries three undated entries for 葉霖 (49800, 460333, 694536); the medical Yè Lín cannot be confidently identified with any of them on current evidence.
