The effect of regional culture on the traditional processing of Chinese medicine with the processing of pilose antler as the starting point / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

With regard to the traditional processing of pilose antler, two big companies of Chinese Medicine decoction pieces and one private patrimonial TCM clinic were investigated. The result indicates that the processing techniques in these three regions can be found in the ancient books of TCM and belong to the traditional processing of Chinese Medicine, but the processing procedures are different. On the basis of that, starting with the different manifestation forms of regional culture, the author discusses the effect of regional culture on the traditional processing of Chinese Medicine. The research indicates that, different geographical nature environments result in the three specific aspects, which are the specific resources and products, the specific historical culture, and the specific characters. These three specific aspects result in different tools, conventional supplementary materials and techniques of processing, and on the basis of this, different traditional processing schools of Chinese Medicine come into being with different characteristics. Therefore, to protect the traditional processing of Chinese Medicine in different regions has important significance to supplement the deficiencies in Pharmacopoeia of PRC (2010 edition) and the TCM processing standards of different provinces and municipalities, and to bequeath and develop the different characteristics of different processing schools, and it's a full embodiment to carry out the core spirit of National Intangible Cultural Heritage Law.
