To understand the development process of Dioscoreae Rhizoma in origin

processing and clinical application by sorting out the historical origin in the development of Dioscoreae Rhizoma

and preliminarily discuss the construction of the standard system of Chinese yam (Dioscoreae Rhizoma). During the analytic process

with ‘Dioscoreae Rhizoma (yam)’

‘historical origin’ and ‘standard system’ as the key words

the related literature on yam and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) standardization was searched in CNKI

Wanfang and other databases. In addition

Compendium of Materia Medica

Miscellaneous Records of Famous Physicians

Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2015 edition)

Flora of China and other books were accessed to summarize the history of the development of yam and trace the origin

processing and clinical application of Chinese yam. According to the actual situation

the evolution of the origin of Chinese yam has experienced a process from dispersing to concentrating in Huaiqing

Henan

and the processing technology has also undergone great evolution. Now the processing and processing technology are also being innovated. In view of the wide application of yam in clinical and daily health care

but there is still no unified planting and production standard system

the construction of the standard system of yam is to be preliminarily explored based on the current needs of the development of TCM

mainly including the planting standard system

production and processing standard system

storage and maintenance standard system

product quality standards and other standards

aimed at promoting the standardization of yam construction

and accelerating the healthy development of Chinese medicine industry.
