In the vast history of Chinese Nations, Chinese Medicine has been always blessing and protecting Chinese people. Despite countless disasters and plagues, the sons and daughters of China have been reborn, prosperous and endless. Countless TCM masters and ancestors as Shen Nong, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and Li Shizhen, found the nature-given treasure - Chinese Medicinals, which have been carrying out miraculous e.ects in the course of generations of Chinese people .ghting against diseases. They can clear heat and detoxify, dispel wind and dissipate dampness, strengthen the body and dispel evils, as well as prolong lifespan. The effect is excellent both for many acute and chronic diseases. How does the above mysterious effect happen? What substances contained in Chinese medicinal and its formula or patent medicines? What kind of methods or techniques should be applied to explore their effect-related substance and active mechanism? Chinese and foreign scientists, medical scientists and people all over the world are looking forward to unraveling the mystery of Chinese medicine treasures. Is one Chinese medicinal a system? Is the formula a complex system composed by multiple branch systems? Can Complex System Science (CSS) be applied to do research on Chinese medicinals and formulae? Taking the “large Chinese Materia Medica” as the theoretical basis, Systematic Chinese Material Medica (SCMM) Team introduced the CSS theory into Chinese Material Medica (CMM), and put forward a new theory that CMM is a complex system created by CMM ecological environment system interacting with human complex system, and propose there is a six - elemental co-acting system that a.ects this complex system and may re.ect the magic mechanism of CMM and formulae. SCMM is the wisdom crystals of generations of Chinese Medicinal masters and experts, and the inheritance and innovation of “Large Chinese Material Medica” thought of Professor Ling Yikui. With the guidance of the “Large Chinese Material Medica” thought, it has established the undergraduate major of CMM, cultivated numerous Chinese medicine talents and a series of Chinese medicinal textbooks have been published. Thus, it laid a thick foundation for the development of SCMM. The generation of SCMM is to salute to all predecessors and scientists during the Chinese Medicine development. In order to better inherit and innovate “Large Chinese Material Medica” thought, constantly develop the achievements of predecessors, deeply explore the functioning mechanism of Chinese medicinals as well as the factors resulting in e.ects, since the year of 2000, Prof. Peng Cheng has led his team to launch a research on Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) with the supports of National 973 Plan, and projects of the National Natural Science Funding. They inherited the “large Chinese Material Medica” thoughts, and fully combined the theory and methods of modern system science, to study its di.erent sources, diverse processed products, various preparation processes, as well as spatial, ecological, quantitative, chemical, and biological characteristics from different chemical levels, so to endeavor illustrating the dynamic change process among time, dose and e.ect, and revealing the material basis, biological e.ect and application rules of Fuzi. Based on that, it forms three branch systems of SCMM, sublime its core as “Variety-Quality-Pharmacy-Proterty-E.cacy-Application” and the multiple evaluation technique. Hence, the theory and technology of SCMM tends to be maturing. In 2019, Prof. Peng Cheng 1 gathered Chinese Medicine experts and Chinese Medicinal experts from 14 colleges and universities nationwide to organize a composing committee, and compiled the 13th Five-year Plan innovative Chinese Materia Medica textbook Systematic Chinese Materia Medica of National TCM higher Education. Aiming to let more scientists and pharmacologists deeply know the mechanism of Chinese Medicinal exerting its e.cacy, to widely exert the Chinese Medicinal values in drug development and innovation, trigger active academic arguments, promote international exchanges and cooperation in research and industry, let the world people share the fruits of 5000 year’s development of Chinese Medicine, and .nally do more contributions for the health care and medical career for worldwide human beings, based on the previous innovative textbook Systematic Chinese Materia Medica, through revising, translating, composing bilingually, this textbook will be published in both Chinese and English Language. The book includes two parts as the pandect and monograph. The pandect mainly introduces the systematic Chinese materia medica as well as the scientific connotation, cognitive processes and modern research on the key elements of systematic Chinese materia medica. The monograph part is categorized according to e.cacy of medicinals. In each part, it further elucidate each medicinal the basic characteristics including variety and quality, pharmacy, property and efficacy, as well as application. The compilation of this textbook strives for the following six requests. ① Systematicness: According to the knowledge and technology system of Systematic Chinese Materia Medica, the pandect is laid out in terms of seven aspects, namely overview, variety, quality, pharmacy, property, e.cacy and application. The monograph part introduces Chinese medicinals from aspects of basic overview, variety and quality, pharmacy, property and e.cacy, and application. Thereby comprehensively and systematically expound the knowledge and technology system of Systematic Chinese Materia Medica. ② Scienti.calness: The theory, technology, and method of Chinese material medica are thoroughly researched and clari.ed to re.ect the characteristics su.ciently. Presentation in writing seeks to be objective, fair and harmonious, avoiding ambiguity and controversy. The Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China (2020 Edition) is chosen as the reference to write the origin, quality standard, property, e.cacy and indication of each Chinese medicinal in the book. ③ Innovativeness: The book not only constructs the knowledge and technology system of SCMM, but also summarizes the latest achievements of systematic research of Chinese material medica, which reflects the update and progress on knowledge in textbook. ④ Practicability: Aiming at the current problem of too many, small, confused and repetitious knowledge particles, this book sticks to set knowledge points tightly reflecting “frontier of the subject, practical application, practicing need”, for the purpose of “easy to teach, easy to learn, and easy to apply”.
⑤ Foresight: This book not only keeps pace with the times by reflecting the update knowledge, technology and achievements of the discipline development, but also lays the foundation for the intersection and integration among Chinese Medicine, Chinese Materia Medica and Systematic Science etc.. ⑥ Accuracy: This book has a strong professional nature. The translations of ancient books, names of Chinese material medica, prescriptions and terms are in line with international standards, which mainly include the WHO International Standard Terminologies on Traditional Medicine in the Western Paci.c Region (2007), International Standard Chinese-English Basic Nomenclature of Chinese Medicine (Li Zhenji, 2008), and the English version of The Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. It has attached five annexes for in the convenience of readers searching. The translation of ancient writings strives to meet “accuracy, smooth, and elegance”.
