Chinese medicine was born in primitive society, and the theory of Chinese medicine was basically formed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was summarized and developed in past dynasties. In addition, it has a far-reaching influence on the countries in the cultural circle of Chinese characters, such as Japanese traditional Chinese medicine, Korean medicine, Korean medicine and Vietnamese oriental medicine, all of which are developed on the basis of Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine originated from Shennong Baicao Jing, and Shennong tasted Baicao. This is the earliest origin at present, and the understanding of various pharmacology is also accumulating in the later period.

General Chinese medicinal materials pay attention to authentic medicinal materials, which refer to medicinal materials produced under specific natural conditions and ecological environment. Due to centralized production, cultivation techniques and harvesting and processing are also highly valued, which leads to better quality and better curative effect than similar medicinal materials produced in other regions.
