Huang Yuanyu (1705-1758), as the representative of the classic school of Chinese medicine, was a well-known doctor in the Qing Dynasty. This paper examined the life, medical career and achievements of Huang Yuanyu's students based on the local chronicles, recordings and relevant literature. The paper aimed to clarify Huang's academic thoughts and provide references for current medical education training. It was found that Huang Yuanyu had many students who kept spreading his medical ideas for five generations. His disciples were Huang Hongmo, Huang Hongxun, Bi Wuling, Yu Puze and Yu Zhao. Eight students including Chen Lian, Ma Jinglie, Hou Pimo, Hou Renyao, Hou Zhaifen, Li Futan, Li Dongping and Li Dingchen were known to spread his ideas.
