Features: Medicinal Preparation is one of the core courses in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and a comprehensive applied technology discipline. To cultivate students' fundamental knowledge and professional skills required for the roles of TCM dispensing and preparation, this book closely aligns with the specific production practices and development trends of TCM preparation in China. It focuses on explaining the basic knowledge, fundamental theories, production processes, and quality control of commonly used TCM preparations. While incorporating traditional theories and empirical knowledge of TCM preparation, it also emphasizes the integration of modern scientific and technological advancements and new achievements in the field. The book adheres to the close connection between theory and practice, prioritizes practicality, and reflects the characteristics of secondary vocational education. New explorations and attempts have been made in the arrangement of content in some chapters. At the end of each chapter, there are "Thoughts and Exercises," with the last one being "Experimental Guidance" to inspire students' thinking, cultivate their innovative spirit, and enhance their hands-on abilities. The entire book is divided into four parts: Part I: TCM Dispensing Technology, including prescriptions, the organizational structure and management of TCM pharmacies, and the operational procedures and basic knowledge of TCM prescriptions; Part II: Unit Operations of TCM Preparation Technology, primarily covering fundamental preparation techniques such as "preparation hygiene," "powder processing technology," and "extraction technology"; Part III: Common TCM Preparations"; and Part IV: Experimental Guidance."
