我国的药物资源丰富,种类繁多,主要来源于自然界的植物、矿物、动物,其中以植物药占绝大多数。历代医药学家在医疗实践中都将这些药物应用经验和炮制方法记载下来并流传后代。如湖南马王堆汉墓出土的帛书《五十二病方》中提及,早在秦汉之际药物炮制方法有十种之多,是我国现在医药 China’s pharmaceutical resources are abundant and varied, mainly from natural plants, minerals, and animals, of which plant drugs account for the vast majority. Historical medical practitioners have documented these drug application experiences and concocted methods in medical practice and transmitted them to future generations. For example, as mentioned in the “Fifty-two Diseases” excavated from the Mawangdui Han Tombs in Hunan Province, as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, there were as many as ten drug-producing methods, which is China’s current medicine.
