[Current problems and countermeasures of management of valuable and endangered Chinese medicinal materials].

Endangered Chinese medicinal materials have a wide range of applications and play an indispensable role in the system of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). The protection of these endangered medicinal materials has always been a crucial task in the development of TCM. This paper systematically reviewed the changes in regulatory bodies for the protection of endangered Chinese medicinal materials and their related management policies since 1949, and conducted an in-depth discussion of the current laws and regulations governing the protection of endangered Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, the paper comprehensively organized the current situation of endangered Chinese medicinal material protection in China, analyzed its causes, pointed out deficiencies in the current protective measures, and proposed countermeasures and suggestions for improvement, with the aim of providing references and guidance for the sustainable development of Chinese medicinal materials. Through this review, the paper aimed to raise public and governmental awareness of the importance of protecting endangered Chinese medicinal materials, thereby promoting the sustainable and healthy development of TCM. Additionally, the paper hopes to provide ideas for the formulation and implementation of relevant policies and contribute to the further improvement and deepening of the protection efforts for endangered Chinese medicinal materials.
