Discussion about research mode of Chinese materia medica based on grey system theory combined with multivariate analysis method / 中草药

ABSTRACT

The compatibility law analysis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the core of modernization of TCM. Furthermore, "macro compatibility" and "micro compatibility" are two important components of formula compatibility. At present, due to the lack of research on the law of "macro compatibility", the research ideas are too narrow, which seriously restricts the development of modernization of Chinese materia medica (CMM). Under the guidance of TCM theory, we explore the study on the new mode of "grey screening" whose components are divided into the functional units by the current situation and deficiency of CMM research, treatment based on syndrome differentiation, grey systematology, the action of multivariate statistical methods, and new idea on the feasibility study and application prospect as well.
