The first national physician, a 95 - year - old master the way he is once said: "of traditional Chinese medicine of xing, xing in medicine, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine of wu, wu in Chinese traditional medicine." Famous medical history literature experts, China's former director of the institute of traditional Chinese medicine academy of sciences, China medical history literature Yu Yingao Sir Once said: "Chinese traditional medicine, saddened! I to foreigners, finished they all told me not to buy medicine in China, every time I hear such words, the in the mind not the taste, again have no speech with rightness!" Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the material basis of inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, let's explore --

In the theoretical system of TCM, in addition to themselves, diagnostic methods and therapy and its variety, the most important tool is the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The traditional Chinese medicine has always been strict tunnel and the selectivity of the ecological environment, climate, water, air and soil are main factors influencing and determining the quality of Chinese medicinal materials. Now, the quality of traditional Chinese medicine and pesticide residues, heavy metal exceeds bid issues such as need.

Chinese herbal medicine pollution reduces the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) international competitiveness

The last two years, the United Nations related units and the international green peace organization in the territory of China to buy medicine, outside inspection. In 2013 the Chinese herbal medicine pesticide pollution survey report shows that nine famous brand of Chinese medicine enterprises in China have been tainted medicine samples, by more than seventy percent contained pesticide residue. Commercially in 2014, our country Taiwan, Chinese herbal medicine 50 parking samples, there are 21 pieces of pesticide residue detection ratio reached 42%. Now lower in traditional Chinese medicine in the international market competitiveness, the global annual turnover about $40 billion, Chinese traditional medicine in our country currently accounts for only 1/10.

In April this year, the author in Budapest, Hungary academic exchanges, run into local Chinese federation of Li Huichang, he is from zhejiang qingtian. Li Huichang suffering from allergic bronchitic, I recommend to him of traditional Chinese medicine in China, Mr Li said: "the motherland of Chinese medicine quality is a bit worrying. And eu rules is very strict, all the food and drug, basic not to import."

That marked in Budapest open in Shanxi Province promotion seminar, in the domestic reputation of proprietary Chinese medicines, medicinal liquor and food products, are not as good as the folk handicraft is more popular. In addition, the Spanish champions China newspaper reported that many Chinese living abroad to reflect, domestic relatives in the mail of Chinese herbal medicine by the Spanish customs seized. Reason when we have learned, in the introduction, the post office and the customs personnel said, because the Chinese to the use of Chinese herbal medicine and therapeutic effects of unknown, so must go through laboratory tests, proved in conformity with the relevant provisions of the eu, can be extracted from the recipient, the recipient will pay a high test cost. In desperation, many people will have to mail back to China.

At present, the global attention to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) industry in more than 160 countries and regions, about more than 170 companies engaged in traditional Chinese medicine development. However, there are still many countries customs and medical management institution of our country traditional Chinese medicine is disputed, because of the traditional Chinese medicine planting exceeds bid, the use of pesticides, fertilizers and heavy metal content in attitude refused entry, the Chinese medicine in a more awkward position in the world.

For decades, the suitable planting of Chinese traditional medicine producing areas and plains, farmers and herbalist due to lack of knowledge, blind introduction, mixed varieties, fertilizer usage is not science, harvest time is not appropriate, such as the medicinal materials quality is not stable, the medicinal efficacy change. Especially in the economic interests, driven by heavy use of super excessive pesticide, local structure into a worsening ecological environment and biological cycle. Due to the soil, water and heavy metal pollutant deposition, Chinese herbal medicine effective component content is lower; Some herbs of sugars by oxidation, Mosaic class sour medicinal material change color; Environmental pollution makes soil ph change, and trace elements content of heavy metals in the soil ratio, lead to drug development variation or simply lose efficacy. Security incident frequency also have Chinese traditional medicine in recent years, Chinese herbal medicine market of fake and shoddy products, replacement is also increasing.

Planting base is to protect the use of traditional Chinese medicine resources the fundamental approach

Traditional Chinese medicine is the material basis for the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese medicine, is a strategic resource in the national economy and people's livelihood, solve the problem of the source of the development of Chinese medicine is very important. Existing 12772 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine resources in China, of which 11118 kinds of plants, accounting for 87% of the total, to ensure its healthy development, urgently to planting standards, strengthen medicinal materials planting intensive management, increase investment in science and technology, strengthen the medicinal materials quality control management system and information circulation network platform construction, etc., make the traditional Chinese medicinal materials in a reasonable planning, scientific planting and quality control, market circulation form a system of healthy development.

Forward at the end of April this year, the state council general office of the state administration of traditional Chinese medicine, such as 11 ministries of the protected traditional Chinese medicinal materials and development plan (2015-2020) "(hereinafter referred to as the" planning "), which is China's first national plan about protection and development of traditional Chinese medicinal materials. "Planning" has been clear about the building high quality Chinese medicine resources protection system, the implementation of high-quality Chinese herbal medicine production engineering, construction of traditional Chinese medicinal materials quality guarantee system, such as main task, and Chinese herbal medicine base construction are put forward.

Chinese herbal medicine base is using traditional Chinese medicine resources protection and sustainable development of the basic method. We should according to the national major medicinal herbs producing area environment, resources, such as the actual situation, self-built planting base, production enterprise of strength are encouraged to ensure quality of medicinal materials. Conditional region to establish a national demonstration base of protective cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine resources, in order to ensure the quality of Chinese herbal medicine planting accord with national standard and under the premise of gave nameboards shall be recognised and appropriate support, and promote and make it to develop in the direction of scale, standardization and industrialization. Farmers, herbalist retail planted by the enterprise group, unified technical guidance, to fulfill the requirements of standardized cultivation. The local government and NongYan institutions should be combined with the agricultural structure adjustment, helping al-qaeda well-bred breeding system, construction of medicinal materials and carry out technical training and demonstration promotion.

In order to prevent the Chinese herbal medicine pollution, ensure the quality of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), need to strengthen the management control from the top-level design. To establish a pollution control technology in medicinal plant team, play to the government planning guidance, policy incentives and the role of organization and coordination; Arouse the enthusiasm of enterprises, outstanding enterprises in the main role in the protection and development of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, build norms and orderly market competition environment. Strengthen government management department of effective supervision and management, actively develop new technology and new method of controlling contamination research, and gradually establish a standardized control of microorganism, pesticide, heavy metal pollution and residue system, and in view of the current medicinal materials planting problems such as the poisonous substance content exceeds bid badly, research and implementation of pollution-free cultivation techniques, build pollution-free varieties brand protective technology system.

To strengthen the construction of storage conditions for the last line of the good quality

Currently there are 12 main Chinese medicine big market in China, one of the main distribution center for Chinese traditional medicine before entering the market circulation, some of which are stored in the surrounding farmers home. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) during the reserves, such as temperature, humidity, illumination conditions are the important factors that affect drug effectiveness, and scattered storage way is very difficult to meet the requirements. As a result of the original drug effective composition content in the process of reserves erosion, weakened, and breeds insect pests. Once found insect pest, if spraying pesticide, and can cause secondary pollution. Therefore, in the study to strengthen the construction of Chinese herbal medicine production base, the construction should also consider storage conditions, implement centralized and unified management of warehouse. And Chinese herbal medicine before entering the circulation, must pass a special test. Only in this way, can the guarantee of quality of Chinese herbal medicine in the circulation process, the last line of the good quality.

Should speed up to revise and establish the quality standards in line with international standards of traditional Chinese medicine products, residual allow establish medicinal plants standards, strengthen the investigation and research, medicinal plant contaminated with reference to relevant materials at home and abroad, combined with clinical practice, set up a more scientific and accurate environmental pollutants monitoring object, strengthen the research on heavy metal, chemical fertilizers pesticides, the standard of variety and chemical fertilizers, pesticides, comparing the new variation caused by different existence state of all kinds of heavy metal and residues of pharmacology and toxicology. For medicinal materials inspection unqualified production or storage party should be held accountable, strict punishment measures, on the other hand, to the quality of the enterprise to give preferential policy and funding and support.
