Abstract: This paper systematically review the development trajectory of Yao medicine research over the past decade, clarify its knowledge structure, accurately identify research hotspots, and scientifically predict future directions, thereby providing a systematic reference framework for the modernization and internationalization of Yao medicine. Relevant literature on the theme of Yao medicine was retrieved from Chinese and English databases. CiteSpace 6.2.R4 software was used to conduct a visual metric analysis from three core dimensions: authors, institutions, and keywords, to explore the academic correlations and evolutionary patterns within the literature. A total of 2110 Chinese publications and 205 English publications were included. Chinese research formed collaborative author clusters centered around ZHAO Lichun and ZHU Hua, etc., with Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine as the institutional hub. English research had core authors such as Chiang Jen-huai, primarily featuring institutional collaboration across the Taiwan straits. Both research streams exhibited issues of low network density and limited international cooperation. Chinese research evolved through three stages: basic identification and safety evaluation, in-depth pharmacological mechanism research, integration of cutting-edge technology and industry. Its high-frequency keywords were chemical composition, pharmacological action and rural revitalization. English research focused on active ingredient identification, efficacy mechanisms, and safety evaluation of compound prescriptions, with the ethnic identity marker "Yao medicine" becoming increasingly prominent. Conclusion: Yao medicine research has preliminarily established a modern research system. However, challenges remain in inter-institutional collaboration, international cooperation, and the integration of "industry-university- research". Future efforts need to strengthen these aspects to enhance the scientific connotation of Yao medicine and establish its independent identity within global traditional medicine.

摘要： 系统梳理近十年瑶药研究的发展脉络，明确其知识版图，精准识别研究热点，并科学预判未来发展方向，为瑶药现代化与国际化研究提供系统性参考框架。检索中英文数据库获取瑶药主题相关文献，运用CiteSpace 6.2.R4软件，从作者、研究机构、关键词三个核心维度展开可视化计量分析，挖掘文献背后的学术关联与演化规律。研究共纳入中文文献2110篇，英文205篇。中文文献以赵立春、朱华等作者为核心，广西中医药大学为枢纽机构；英文文献核心作者为Chiang Jen-huai等，以两岸机构合作为主，两类研究均存在网络密度低、国际合作有限的问题。中文文献研究历经“基础鉴别与安全评价-药理学机制深入-前沿技术与产业融合”三阶段，高频关键词为“化学成分”“药理作用”和“乡村振兴”；英文文献研究则聚焦活性成分鉴定、药效机制及复方安全性评价，“Yao medicine”族身份标识渐突出。结果表明瑶药研究已初步建立现代化研究体系，但跨机构协同、国际合作及“产-学-研”融合不足，未来需从上述三个方面进行突破，推动瑶药提升科学内涵并确立全球传统医药独立身份。
