ABSTRACT
This paper summarizes the current situation and problems of the research on the theory of "Taibai Seven Medicines" through literature summary and surveys. Although the "Four Beams and Eight Pillars" theory of compounding has a long history, the current research progress of "Taibai Seven Medicines" is mostly focused on plant resources. There lacks researches on the theory of compounding, or development of compounding and large varieties based on "Taibai Seven Medicines". We call for the inheritance and protection of folk experience, and hope that the "Four Beams and Eight Pillars" theory can guide the application and development of the seven Taibai medicines. Therefore, increasing the research on the theory and teaching in undergraduate courses formulary in Chinese medicine are necessary in our province.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the reserves of wild resources and artificial cultivation of Curcuma aromatica Salisb. in Guangxi, so as to provide basis for the conservation, rational development and utilization of germplasm resources of Curcuma aromatica Salisb. in Guangxi. Methods:By using literature retrieval and field investigation methods to analyze of geographic distribution, growing environment and community of Curcuma aromatica Salisb. in Guangxi. Results:Wild Curcuma aromatica Salisb. has strong adaptability and is growing in limestone mountains, earthen hills and plains. It usually grows at the foot of mountains or the edge of gullies or on the farmland or along the roads. It has a strong adaptability to altitude, soil type. The habitat of wild Curcuma aromatica Salisb. has been destroyed by human reclamation. Conclusion:The geographical distribution, growing environment and community of wild resources of Curcuma aromatica Salisb. in Guangxi were known, which provids the reference for the conservation, development and utilization of Curcuma aromatica Salisb.
