Why does the dyeing and weight gain of Chinese herbal pieces become a "hidden rule"

The fact that a group of pharmaceutical enterprises illegally dye and increase weight of Chinese herbal pieces does not have case characteristics seems to indicate that dyeing and increasing weight is becoming a "potential rule" for pharmaceutical enterprises to seek profits As pharmaceutical enterprises, of course, they know the harm of using chemical agents to process medicinal materials, regardless of the direct toxicity of chemicals Even from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese herbal pieces are processed from Chinese medicinal materials The same processing methods of medicinal materials are different, and their properties and efficacy will change Therefore, illegal dyeing and weight gain may also violate the principle of processing technology of traditional Chinese medicine, and make traditional Chinese medicine drinks become "poisons" It's not too much for pharmaceutical companies to use the ignorance and conscience of the insane to describe them No matter how they punish them, they deserve what they deserve However, if we focus on criticism and accusation, it seems to be no help to prevent similar incidents from happening again Because the dye weight gain is no different from the adulteration of other commodity fields, and the impulse of profit comes from the "additional" weight From another perspective, we can understand the chaos of the market of Chinese herbal pieces In fact, the processing of Chinese herbal pieces is only the first link in the processing of Chinese herbal medicines Through processing, the properties of raw materials of Chinese herbal medicines can be changed, raw materials can be provided for Chinese herbal medicine preparation enterprises, or single prescriptions can be provided for clinical diagnosis The characteristics of primary processing determine the situation that both sides of the industry are subject to, that is, the source of raw materials and the market demand of the next link Therefore, too many business entities, without the support of rules, are bound to create a vicious competition situation On the one hand, they will keep the purchase price of raw materials high, on the other hand, they will keep the price of drinks low for a long time, squeeze out the profit space that is not much, and force enterprises to release the impulse of profit from illegal channels The dyeing and weight increase of Chinese herbal medicine pieces is just a miniature of extensive development of Chinese herbal medicine industry On the one hand, the industry lacks effective macro-control, and too much capital gathers in the primary processing field, resulting in a market pattern of abnormal competition; on the other hand, the Chinese herbal medicine industry lacks the support of core technology, and the industrial chain is too short, so the enterprise cannot improve the added value from the technology transformation, so the interest cake cannot be made Big, can't suppress the profit impulse of distribution link It is another specimen of "getting sick" in the economic field and "taking medicine" in the food and drug field It can be seen that to be a "conscience medicine" or to produce "safe food" is a dual proposition of economic regulation and supervision and management besides morality and conscience.
