Features: China has a vast territory and complex natural conditions, with relatively abundant traditional Chinese medicinal resources. Statistics show that there are approximately 9,000 species of traditional Chinese medicines, of which about 8,000 are plant-based medicines. To inherit and explore the heritage of traditional Chinese medicine and better utilize the important role of traditional Chinese medicines in preventing and treating diseases and enhancing people's health, we selected traditional Chinese medicinal species that are currently cultivated across the country or have been approved for use in patent medicines. We conducted field photography in the wild and referred to relevant literature to compile this atlas. The atlas includes 250 species of traditional Chinese medicines and 1,326 effective prescriptions for treating various common diseases. This book is suitable for medical and health personnel in urban and rural areas, as well as the general public with junior high school education or higher. It can also serve as a reference for those engaged in traditional Chinese medicine production, harvesting, and business.
