摘要:

中药鉴定是中药标准化和国际化的基础。中药的真伪优劣鉴定研究有着现代科学和传统文化的双重内涵, 不仅是长久以来尚未解决好的历史难题, 也是保障安全用药的前沿学术课题。中药鉴定牵涉到中药资源、中药性状鉴别、中药显微鉴别、本草文献研究等方面, 这些学科相互广联、相互配合。将传统鉴别经验用现代科学方法加以诠释具有紧迫的现实意义和长远的科学价值。本文通过结合中医药专著的编撰、中药标本中心的建设、中药数字化项目的创建、中药鉴定技术的拓展、《本草纲目》文化工程的推广, 探索中药鉴定学科及本草文化的传承之路。

关键词: 中药鉴定, 性状/显微鉴定, 本草, 本草文化工程

Abstract:

Authentication is a key component of quality control, and the quality of Chinese medicinal materials directly impacts clinical efficacy. Chinese medicinal quality control is an important concern of the wider community, and it is intricately connected to the future and development of Chinese medicine. Macroscopic identification has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine, and it continues to be effective for resolving important issues related to quality control in the modern-day. However, new challenges have emerged for macroscopic identification. For example, new botanical varieties have emerged, with differences in macroscopic features related to cultivated vs. wild materials. Changes in processing methods and cultivation techniques also affect these features. Consequently, continual progress and innovation in Chinese medicinal authentication methods are needed. Macroscopic identification is based on organoleptic assessment, microscopy, and research of ancient texts, such as the Bencao. In addition to collecting information from traditional experience-based differentiation, innovation can take advantage of new technologies that can provide even more detailed, precise information about morphology. In the present review, we summarized inheritance and innovation in the scientific exposition of Chinese medicinal authentication, featuring a review of specialized publications, description of the establishment of a Chinese medicine specimen center and Chinese Medicine digital project, the expansion of authentication technologies, and the formation of a cultural project dedicated to the Compendium of Materia Medica.

Key words: Chinese medicinal authentication, Macro-/microscopic identification, Bencao, Traditional Chinese medicinal cultural promotion
