    To pass off the mountain silver flower as the honeysuckle, and to mix sand into the cypress kernel If the professional market can not guarantee the quality of traditional Chinese medicine, it will greatly affect the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine Use the cheap xiaopingbei to pretend to be Chuanbei, use the tree tongue or other fungus to pretend to be Ganoderma lucidum, use the honeysuckle to pretend to be honeysuckle, use the talcum powder to increase the weight of Bombyx mori and orange, mix the gravel in the cypress kernel, use the magnesium sulfate to increase the weight of Polyporus umbellatus, xiaotongcao, Platycodon grandiflorum and Northern ginseng Recently, the secret visit group of the State Food and Drug Administration found that the Chinese herbal medicines sold on the Qingping market in Guangdong Province were seriously confused, adulterated and stained with weight gain In Bozhou Chinese herbal medicine market of Anhui Province, there was obvious decolorization phenomenon in water test for 1 kg of saffron with price of nearly 10000 yuan Under the microscope, this crocus not only has no pollen grains and other tissues, but also is full of paper fibers The function of hippocampus is to warm the kidney, invigorate Yang, Dissipate Stasis and detumescence Industry insiders said that "adding materials" is to add something to the seahorse body to increase the weight of the medicine When the seahorse is just fished up and hasn't dried, use a needle tube to drive the edible glue through the small hole in the middle of the seahorse's belly When the seahorse is dried, the edible glue will melt into the seahorse itself, which can't be seen by ordinary people at all Adding aluminum, magnesium, lead, salt, sugar, pigment and adulteration has become the "potential rule" of Chinese herbal medicine market Professor Zhou Chaofan, member of the National Pharmacopoeia Committee and drug evaluation expert of the State Food and drug administration, said that each Chinese medicine is measured by grams, and its compatibility is also balanced Adding these things without reason not only affects the curative effect, but also turns into poison, which is a very dangerous behavior Since ancient times, there have been drug distribution centers in China, including Anguo City in Hebei Province, Bozhou City in Anhui Province and Yuzhou City in Henan Province, all of which are called "drug capital" In the 1990s, a large number of traditional Chinese medicine markets emerged in various regions, and counterfeiting and shoddy products grew and spread The state has successively closed nearly 100 markets with substandard conditions, and only 17 specialized markets of traditional Chinese medicine have been reserved up to now In July this year, the State Food and Drug Administration conducted a secret visit to 5 of the 17 professional markets of Chinese herbal medicines, and found that "the problem is serious and shocking", and interviewed the local government for the first time Yan Jiangying, a spokesman for the State Food and drug administration, said that the special action of "two dozen and two constructions" covering the whole country focused on cracking down on Adulteration of Chinese herbal medicines (pieces of decoction) and closing the professional market of Chinese herbal medicines, which has long been "inclusive" in counterfeiting and sales, if necessary "It's not difficult to distinguish genuine and fake Chinese herbal medicines The main reason for the existence of counterfeiting is that the purchasing staff of the pharmaceutical factory" only get cheap " An anonymous Chinese medicine manufacturer said that because the bidding price of Chinese medicine products was pressed very low, some manufacturers in order to reduce production costs, in the market to see cheap Chinese medicine purchase Ma Ying, deputy director of the Department of policies, regulations and supervision of the State Administration of traditional Chinese medicine, pointed out that many Chinese medicine hospitals and research institutions purchase medicinal materials from the Chinese medicine market If the professional market can not guarantee the quality of traditional Chinese medicine, it will greatly affect the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, and then affect the survival and development of traditional Chinese medicine medical institutions Wu Zhen, deputy director of the State Food and drug administration, said that there has not been a new batch of Chinese herbal medicine market in China for more than 20 years, and it will not be approved again in the future At present, the disorder of Chinese herbal medicine market involves multi department management Only by strengthening the guidance of the government, can a joint management be formed Opening a market will bring benefits to the local government Whoever benefits should be responsible for it Pingyi County, located in the mountainous area of Yimeng, Shandong Province, is a famous honeysuckle producing area in China The planting area is more than 650000 mu, accounting for more than 60% of the national output Honeysuckle picking starts on the eighth day of April in the lunar calendar and continues until the Mid Autumn Festival A druggist said, who grows honeysuckle without pesticide? As a result of long-term medication, it is more and more difficult for insects to be killed Only four or five days can be administered once In the suburb of Bozhou, Anhui Province, the seedlings of traditional Chinese medicine are delicate compared with crops White peony likes drought but not water There should be no weeds in the field There are many diseases and insect pests In order to prevent diseases and insect pests, during the period from emergence to mature harvest, pesticide farmers spray pesticides many times Generally, according to experience, what medicine, how much and when to fight is very random Professor Wang Wenquan, Institute of medicinal plants, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, said that at present, the planting area of traditional Chinese medicine in China is about 21 million mu (excluding the area under the forest), with an annual output of nearly 9 million tons In the production of traditional Chinese medicine, there are some problems such as unscientific application of fertilizer and abuse of pesticide, which lead to the instability or decline of the quality of the production of traditional Chinese medicine A large number of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have caused great damage to the ecological environment of our country In the process of planting traditional Chinese medicine, pesticide residues are inevitable Traditional Chinese medicine has become the "victim" of chemical agriculture, and pesticide residue is an unavoidable problem for traditional Chinese medicine Traditional Chinese medicine has the natural attribute of agricultural products [- 0.23% capital research report] If pesticide is not used, the loss caused by diseases, pests and weeds can be as high as 70% every year, and the correct use of pesticide can recover nearly 40% of the loss Experts suggest that in the use of pesticides, we should select and promote high-efficiency, low toxicity and low residue pesticides, and prohibit the use of highly toxic, high residue or carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic pesticides Professor Jia Tianzhu of Liaoning University of traditional Chinese medicine pointed out that organochlorine pesticides are the most terrible For example, DDT does not decompose or degrade in 90 years It can suspend on the water surface and pollute the air, water and soil Organochlorine pesticides were banned in 1972 in the United States and stopped in 1984 in China Since May 17, 2009, the production, circulation, use and import and export of DDT, chlordane, mirex and hexachlorobenzene are prohibited in China, but they are still prohibited up to now Qian Zhongzhi, chief scientist of the national pharmacopoeia committee, said that the use of pesticides plays an important role in the sustainable development of traditional Chinese medicine and plant medicine, but it must be strictly managed, monitored and banned during the use process Ren Dequan, former deputy director of the State Food and drug administration, believed that the regulatory authorities should take responsibility to prevent the highly toxic pesticides from entering the production of traditional Chinese medicine from the source We should encourage the docking of traditional Chinese medicine enterprises and farmers, let farmers produce traditional Chinese medicine according to the needs of enterprises, and control pesticide residues from the source Experts from the Institute of medicinal plants of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences pointed out that some Chinese herbal medicines and pesticides are used much, which in fact reflects the serious diseases and insect pests This shows that the safety control of diseases and insect pests of traditional Chinese medicine needs to be strengthened To solve the problem of pesticide residues in traditional Chinese medicine, we should start with the construction of the whole system and adopt the method of biological control The processing technology makes people worry that there are fewer and fewer old people, new people are out of touch with each other, and there is no successor to the traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, facing the risk of loss The traditional Chinese medicine processing team has become the "panda team" and Sister Li, who lives in Shuanglong community, Chaoyang District, Beijing, has always been fond of traditional Chinese medicine Recently, she felt dizzy, even after a month of traditional Chinese medicine is not good Elder sister Li said that traditional Chinese medicine is still the same as before, but it is no longer effective and no good prescription can cure the disease The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is not as good as before, which is the feeling of many people The quality of traditional Chinese medicine has a direct relationship with the processing technology According to the regulations, Chinese herbal medicines can only be called Chinese herbal pieces after being processed and processed The unprocessed Chinese herbal medicines cannot be called Chinese herbal pieces The processing technology has changed the properties of the original medicinal materials and made the Chinese Herbal Pieces less toxic and more effective Therefore, processing is the key factor for the quality control of Chinese herbal pieces, and also an important guarantee for the quality of Chinese herbal pieces During the high-level meeting of traditional Chinese medicine culture development of Taihu Lake Culture Forum, the reporter was lucky to see the uncanny "Zhangbang" processing technology - "white peony flies to the sky, wooden links can not see the edge, tangerine peel a line, pinellia scales" Under the "camphor knife", the white peony will spread all over the table like a snowflake Put it on the edge of your mouth and blow it gently, and the white peony, as thin as a piece of paper, will fly "If the medicine is less than camphor tree, it will not work." The medicine spirit of camphor tree is in the processing technology In the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, there is a saying that "three part immersion, seven part moistening, washing medicine as master, cutting medicine as apprentice" The processing of traditional Chinese medicine is not just to cut the medicine, but to wash and moisten it Generally speaking, it's easy to say that it's difficult to make medicine through water according to the processing standard It only depends on the eyesight of the pharmacist, and the length of the soaking time is closely related to the temperature, season and the size of the medicinal materials Long infiltration time leads to large loss of effective components, short infiltration time leads to low efficacy of processing Therefore, the infiltration time should be properly controlled Zhang Shichen, vice president of China Association of traditional Chinese medicine, believes that young people are reluctant to do or stay in the past and retired of experienced old pharmacists There are fewer and fewer old people, new people are out of touch, and there is no one to follow the processing technology of traditional Chinese medicine Professor Wang Xiaotao, a leading researcher of the Chinese Academy of traditional Chinese medicine and a Chinese medicine researcher over 80 years old, said that the lack of talents in the TCM processing team has become a "panda team" Chinese medicine processing talents are out of touch with each other, which is related to the processing technology "in line with international standards" The Department in charge overemphasized standardization, replaced pharmaceutical industry with machinery, and weighed traditional processing technology with modern science and technology, which seriously restricted the application of traditional processing technology Bian Baolin, deputy director of the Institute of traditional Chinese medicine of the Chinese Academy of traditional Chinese medicine, said that the most effective way of processing and inheritance is to teach students It is difficult to master the processing technology, which is a skill accumulated by long-term experience Stir fry yellow, stir fry coke, stir fry charcoal completely depends on the eyesight of the pharmacist The key links of soaking, moxibustion, calcining, frying and refining all depend on the quality of the pharmacists Bian Baolin said that the veteran pharmacists with rich experience in processing have many unique experiences and skills that are worth exploring, which should be respected and valued more and carried forward Zhang Shichen pointed out that the state's supporting policies on the inheritance of the processing technology experience of Chinese herbal pieces need to be further implemented nationwide He suggested that the state should set up special funds to establish processing training bases and train professional talents.
