As precious Chinese medicinal materials， Moschus and Bovis Calculus are often used in the treatment of acute and severe patients. However， due to their scarce sources and high prices， wild animal resources are in urgent need of protection， natural Moschus and Bovis Calculus can no longer meet the needs of preparation production. The use of substitutes such as Moschus Artifactus， Bovis Calculus Artifactus and Bovis Calculus Sativus has alleviated the shortage of original medicinal materials to some extent， and has been widely used in the production and use of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） preparations. According to statistics， the 2020 edition of

Chinese Pharmacopoeia

contains 75 TCM preparations containing Moschus and 95 preparations containing Bovis Calculus， but in the quality standards of these 134 TCM preparations， the difference between natural medicinal materials and their substitutes is not very obvious， and some quality control projects are relatively simple. Based on this， the author intends to sort out the quality standards of TCM preparations containing Moschus or Bovis Calculus in the 2020 edition of

Chinese Pharmacopoeia

（volume Ⅰ）， including the type， drug form， prescription dosage， maximum daily （time） dosage and the quality control items of Moschus and Bovis Calculus in the preparation， in order to explore the rationality of the quality standard of TCM preparations containing Moschus or Bovis Calculus， and to give some suggestions on standardizing the use types of Moschus and Bovis Calculus， improving the quality control items of Moschus and Bovis Calculus in TCM preparations combining modern research achievements and advanced technology.
