底蕴丰富——说到中国的药文化，由于它有着数千年的悠久历史，所以其底蕴十分丰富。然而，无论是中国人，还是外国人，对其丰富的文化内涵缺乏全面深刻的理解，故而导致某些误识。其根本原因就在于长期以来，我们对药文化的研究与宣传，力度很不够，长此以往，无疑对中药事业的继承、发展与推广是十分不利的。中药在中国古籍中通称“本草”。我国最早的一部中药学专著是汉代的《神农本草经》，唐代由政府颁布的《新修本草》是世界上最早的药典。唐代孙思邈编著的《《备急千金要方》和《千金翼方》集唐代以前诊治经验之大成，对后世医家影响极大。明代李时珍的《本草纲目》，总结了16世纪以前的药物经验，对后世药物学的发展做出了重大的贡献。中药按加工工艺分为中成药、中药材。
The Chinese medicine culture has a long history of thousands of years, so it is very rich. However, both Chinese and foreigners lack a comprehensive and profound understanding of their rich cultural connotations, which leads to some misunderstandings. The fundamental reason is that for a long time, our research and propaganda on Chinese medicine culture has been insufficient. In the long run, it is undoubtedly very unfavorable to the inheritance, development and promotion of Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is commonly known as "Materia Medica" in ancient Chinese books. The earliest monograph of traditional Chinese medicine in China is the Shennong Herbal Medicine Classic of the Han Dynasty. The Newly Revised Herbal Medicine promulgated by the government in the Tang slzuranji.37ix.com.cn tuoliuta.37ix.com.cnchuchenqi.37ix.com.cn jiaqiao.37ix.com.cnchuguanblg.37ix.com.cnzengrenji.37ix.com.cnDynasty is the earliest pharmacopoeia in the world. In Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao compiled The Important Prescription for Thousand Golden Golden Wings and The Important Prescription for Thousand Golden Wings, which gathered the experience of diagnosis and treatment before Tang Dynasty, had great influence on the doctors of later generations. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty summarized the experience of medicine before the 16th century and made great contributions to the development of pharmacology in later generations. Traditional Chinese medicine is divided into Chinese patent medicine and traditional Chinese medicine according to its processing technology.
