Summary

Science of Chinese Materia Medica Processing is a textbook in the National Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry Higher Education "14th Five-Year Plan" series and the National Higher Traditional Chinese Medicine Institutions Planning Textbook (Eleventh Edition). It is edited by Professor Zhong Lingyun of Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with Gong Qianfeng as chief reviewer, and is intended for teaching in programs such as Chinese materia medica, Chinese materia medica manufacturing, traditional Chinese medicine, and pharmacy. The book is divided into a general section and a specific section. The general section outlines the development and regulatory system of Chinese materia medica processing, explains the relationship between processing and clinical efficacy and formula compatibility, and covers basic processing theory, the purposes of processing and its effects on drug components, classification methods for processing, common excipients, quality requirements and storage of processed products, and the management of decoction piece production. The specific section adopts a classification method that combines "processing techniques with excipients," proceeding in order through cleaning and selection, decoction piece cutting, stir-frying, honey-frying and other excipient-frying methods, calcination, steaming, boiling and blanching, replication, fermentation and sprouting, frosting, and other preparation methods. For representative Chinese medicines, it introduces one by one their processing history, processing methods, quality requirements, processing effects, and processing research. This edition revises the quality requirements for each drug in accordance with the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition), adds a chapter on "prescription-based processing" and content on curriculum-based ideological and political education, updates recent research findings on processing mechanisms and techniques, and provides digital resources such as review questions, teaching PPTs, and teaching videos.

Editor's review

学中药炮制，最怕理论和实操脱节：知道“酒炙升提”却说不清为何要炙，认得饮片却讲不出火候与辅料用量。这本教材的价值恰恰在于把两条线并到一起。总论先把概念、法规、辅料、质量标准和生产管理讲清楚，让读者建立“炮制是制药技术，也是质量控制环节”的整体认识；各论再按工艺与辅料分类逐法展开，每一味代表性药材都从历史沿革谈到现代研究，方便对照着理解“古法为何这样定”“今天标准怎么定”。本版以2020年版《中国药典》为准修订质量要求，新增临方炮制内容，并配套课件与教学视频，既方便课堂跟读，也便于自学时按章节自查。对于需要系统搭建炮制知识框架的读者，这是一本可靠的入门与案头参考书。

Who it's for

A good fit for

中药学、中药制药、中医学、药学等专业的本科生与研究生
中药饮片企业从事生产、质检与工艺管理的技术人员
医院药房、制剂室负责临方炮制与调剂的中药师
准备执业药师或中药相关资格考试、需要系统复习炮制内容的考生

Not a good fit for

希望读轻松科普、故事化读物的普通读者
完全没有中医药基础、也未接触过中药学与方剂学的零起点读者

Reading tips

先通读总论一至八章，把炮制目的、辅料、分类和质控逻辑理清，再进入各论。
各论按“净选—切制—炒—炙—煅—蒸煮—复制—发酵发芽—制霜”顺序学，每一法先掌握通则再看具体药物。
对照最新版《中国药典》查阅各药质量要求，把教材条目与法定标准逐项比对记忆。
配合实验或饮片实物观察，边看成品性状边复习火候、辅料用量与炮制作用，避免只背文字。

FAQ

这本书是第几版，和龚千锋主编的版本有什么关系？

本版为2021年中国中医药出版社出版的“十四五”规划教材、全国高等中医药院校规划教材第十一版，由钟凌云主编、龚千锋主审。龚千锋此前主编的“十三五”规划教材ISBN为9787513234092，两版内容框架相近，新版依据2020年版《中国药典》修订并新增临方炮制与课程思政内容。

没有中医药基础能直接读吗？

可以读，但会比较吃力。书中大量使用中药学、方剂学概念，如性味归经、君臣佐使、辅料作用等。建议先补《中药学》基础，或边读边查，重点先攻总论部分建立框架。

各论是否收录所有中药的炮制方法？

不是。各论按炮制方法分类，选取代表性中药讲解历史沿革、炮制方法、质量要求、炮制作用与炮制研究，属于示范性收录。其他品种的实际生产与检验，应以现行《中国药典》及各省中药饮片炮制规范为准。

书中内容是否可以作为生产操作的直接依据？

不宜直接照搬。教材侧重原理与规范讲解，实际生产还需遵守药品生产质量管理规范、企业工艺规程和法定标准；具体品种的辅料比例、温度、时间等参数应以批准的工艺规程和药典、地方炮制规范为准。
