本文就近年来中药炮制理论研究与饮片生产相结合所建立和规范的系列炮制工艺规范和饮片质量标准进行了回顾，对本领域未来研究方向所涉及的方法学研究、科研技术平台建设、以企业为主体的炮制科研与生产相结合的科研模式等提出建议，并指出中药炮制研究的主要任务为炮制作为中药传统制药技术的传承、炮制作为非物质文化遗产的保护以及炮制作为一个“学科”的发展。

In recent years, the processing of Chinese material medica has been theoretically studied in combination with the production of prepared drugs in pieces, and a series of processing techniques and drug quality criteria have thus been established. This paper reviews these achievements and makes some proposals for the future development in terms of methodological research, technical platform building, and the research model integrating scientific research and production, which takes enterprises as the main body. It also points out that processing Chinese material medica will develop not only as a bridge to the traditional pharmaceutical techniques for Chinese material medica, but also as an independent subject.
