道地药材概念及其使用规范的探讨

近百年来中药产地和质量发生前所未有的巨变，栽培药材成为商品的主流，也导致药材质量下降；产地复杂化，药材道地性评价缺乏客观标准，概念使用混乱。优质是道地药材的本质特征，道地药材不能仅仅以产地为指标来界定，而应以最新本草文献为参考，以药材道地性形成的根本原因为依据，明确道地药材具体的种质、生态环境、生产方式。在明确道地药材概念的基础上，优化种质资源和道地产区，加强药材质量形成机制研究，是进一步提高栽培药材质量和促进中医药产业健康发展的重要途径。

Discussion on concept of genuine medicinal materials and its use standard

The origin place and quality of the traditional medicinal materials have been revolutionized in the last hundred years. The cultivated one, loom larger and larger, have become popular, with a result of declined quality, varied origin place, lack of criterion to measure quality, and confused definition usage, etc. The famous-region drug, with a high quality, should be defined not only as the origin place, but also as specific germplasm, ecological condition, and modes of production. On the basis of defining the concept of genuine medicinal materials, optimizing germplasm resources and origin place and strengthening the research of quality formation would be a main route to improve the quality of cultivated medicinal materials and promote the healthy development of traditional Chinese medicine industry.
