Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been the primary tool for disease prevention and treatment used by medical practitioners and the general public throughout China's history. Over thousands of years, it has made outstanding contributions to ensuring public health and the prosperity of the Chinese nation, becoming a shining gem in the treasure trove of Chinese medical heritage. Most of TCM resources are plant and animal-based, and the protection, development, and utilization of these valuable resources are crucial issues. Currently, with the continuous development of China's socio-economy, the demand for TCM healthcare services has been steadily increasing. As disease patterns evolve and health concepts change, amid the global trend of returning to nature, people worldwide are paying more attention to TCM, and the demand for high-quality medicinal materials is growing. However, relying solely on traditional harvesting and cultivation methods for medicinal materials is insufficient in both quantity and quality to meet the needs of domestic and international markets. At this time, it is essential to vigorously promote the integration of traditional cultivation, breeding, and processing techniques with modern technology to produce high-quality medicinal materials, ensuring the sustainable utilization of medicinal resources and meeting market demand for premium products. In this context, China, after meticulous planning, has organized relevant experts and scholars to compile and publish the series "Cultivation, Breeding, and Processing Technology of Medicinal Plants and Animals." This series systematically introduces the cultivation, breeding, and processing techniques of over seventy species of medicinal plants and animals, demonstrating strong scientific rigor and practicality. The publication of this series is a practical demonstration of science and technology serving the economy, as well as a foundational effort to improve the quality of TCM and enhance the technological content of the TCM industry. This book is suitable for personnel engaged in the cultivation, breeding, harvesting, and processing of medicinal plants and animals, as well as for healthcare workers, quarantine and inspection personnel, and students and faculty of agricultural and medical institutions for reference.
