Rapid and living guidelines are those developed in response to public health emergencies in a short period of time using a scientific and standardized approach.Subsequently,they provide timely and credible recom-mendations for decision makers through regular and frequent updates of clinical evidence and recommendations.In this paper,we introduced the definition of rapid and living guideline as well as analyzed the basic characteristics of eight rapid and living guidelines in the field of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)published till 2023 June,summa-rizing three core methodological issues in relation to how to rapidly develop guidelines,how to formulate recommenda-tions when there is lack of evidence,and how to ensure the timeliness of guidelines.Based on the analysis of current rapid and living guidelines,it is implicated that there is necessity to carry out rapid and living guideline in the field of TCM,and the methodology of rapid integration of multivariate evidence in the field of TCM needs to be further explored;furthermore,it is necessary to further explore the obstacles of implementation of guidelines and promote timely updat-ing,all of which provide certain theoretical references for relevant guideline developers and researchers.
