The objective of this study is to conduct a bibliometric and visual analysis of research literature related to the teaching reform of warm disease （wenbing）， providing a reference for future teaching reforms. Methods Using the China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI） database as the data source， and selecting “warm disease” and “teaching” as the themes， we gathered literature published from the inception of the database until May 20， 2024. CiteSpace and Microsoft Excel were used to conduct a visual analysis of the literature， focusing on authors， institutions， and keywords. Results From 1981 to 2023， CNKI recorded 310 articles related to the teaching reform of warm disease， with a general upward trend in annual publications. Most publications originated from undergraduate colleges and hospitals， with wide regional and scholar distribution. Prolific authors formed stable， productive teams， but collaboration between different regions， institutions， and teams remains limited. High-frequency keywords such as “teaching methods，” “teaching mode，” “clinical practice，” and “curriculum politics” demonstrated strong centrality， highlighting them as focal points of current research. Notably， “curriculum politics” emerged strongly as a research hotspot since 2020. Conclusion Undergraduate colleges play a central role in research on teaching reform， consistently leading in publication volume. However， greater regional， institutional， and author collaboration is needed to advance the steady progress of warm disease teaching reform. In the future， reforms in warm disease teaching will align with modern information technologies and integrate ideological education， fostering a new generation of talent in Chinese medicine.
