The country attaches great importance to the development of standardization of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),which is of great significance to the development of TCM.The local standards for TCM that have been released cover various fields such as medical treatment,healthcare,scientific research,education,industry,and culture in different regions.They are an important supplement to the TCM standard system and have played a positive role in promoting the development of local TCM industry.However,there are also problems with the development of local standards for TCM,such as uneven development among provinces and cities,immature systems,vague classification and imprecise naming among local standards for TCM.In the future,attention should be paid to strengthening the top-level design of local standards for TCM,exploring the construction of a local standard system for TCM,deepening the research on the methodology of local standard formulation and revision,and strengthening the interpretation and promotion of local standards for TCM.
