Color Atlas of Chinese Materia Medica (Volume I) is a book published by the People’s Health Publishing House in 1996. The author is Qian Xinzhong. Chinese medicine has a long history. As early as 3000 years ago, there were records of medical treatment of diseases from the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty. Chinese medicine has been enriched and developed in the long-term medical practice, forming its own complete and unique theoretical system, and making great contributions to the health care of the Chinese people and the prosperity of the Chinese nation. The first monograph recording drugs in China was the Shen Nong’s Classic of Materia Medica in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty (about the first century AD), which contained 365 kinds of drugs. New Materia Medica (659 AD) of the Tang Dynasty contained 844 kinds of drugs. There were 1558 kinds of drugs in Zheng Lei Ben Cao (1086 AD) of the Song Dynasty. Compendium of Materia Medica of the Ming Dynasty (1596 AD) contained 1892 kinds of drugs. The Compendium of Materia Medica of the Qing Dynasty (1765 AD) contains 720 kinds of medicines. These ancient books enjoy high evaluation at home and abroad. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, in order to inherit and carry forward the precious heritage of the motherland’s medicine, medical workers all over the country have been actively engaged in the research and collation of traditional medicine. On this basis, they have successively compiled and published monographs such as “Materia Medica”, “Annals of Traditional Chinese Medicine”, “National Collection of Chinese Herbal Medicines”, and “Chinese Pharmacopoeia”, which have attracted the attention of domestic and foreign pharmacists. In recent years, the national organization has carried out a general survey of drug resources, which has provided a solid foundation for exploring new drugs and comprehensively sorting out traditional medicine. In order to comprehensively reflect the research achievements of contemporary traditional medicine in China, we specially organized famous experts in traditional Chinese medicine, traditional medicine experts and professional painters to work together to compile the book Color Atlas of Chinese Materia Medica.
