1、原料方面。由于生态环境日益恶化和过度开发，许多野生中药材资源已经不能满足需求，甚至濒临灭绝，如野生人参、天麻、三七、冬虫夏草、虎、豹、麝、熊等。而人工种植的中药材由于药农缺乏药学知识，随意使用化肥，不进行适时采收及合适的产地加工，出现种质混杂、品种退化，重金属、农药残留超标等质量问题。此外，不适当的引种也使许多药材不具备地道性，如牛膝和野牛膝、白芷和大活等。

Raw materials. Due to the deterioration of ecological environment and excessive development, many wild medicinal herbs resources cannot meet demand, even endangered, such as wild ginseng, gastrodia elata, panax notoginseng, Chinese caterpillar fungus, tiger, leopard, musk deer, bear, etc. And artificial cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials because of lack of pharmaceutical knowledge herbalist, free to use chemical fertilizers, without timely and appropriate harvested origin, appear mixed germ plasm, variety degeneration, heavy metal exceeds bid, pesticide residues and other quality problems. In addition, improper introduction also causes a lot of medicinal materials not to be authentic, such as the knee of the ox and the bison knee, the angelica and the great life.

2、加工炮制方面中药炮制是我国独有的传统制药技术，中药饮片是中药材的炮制加工品，其质量好坏直接关系到人民用药的安全与疗效。目前全国饮片切制或炮制规程还没有完全统一的标准通则可依。如切制的中药饮片规格片类、丝类、段类及各种用辅料炮制炒制的标准工艺，即使现在已有规定标准也是参差不等，存在较大差异，使饮片在临床应用的疗效受到很大的影响。

2, processing and processing aspects of traditional Chinese medicine is China's unique traditional pharmaceutical technology, Chinese medicine yinpian is Chinese herbal medicine processing processed products, its quality is directly related to the drug safety and efficacy of the people. At present, there is no uniform standard for the national drinking or cooking procedures. Such as cutting piece, silk, Chinese medicine yinpian specification section of the class and a variety of materials processing of the standard production, even if the present existing regulations standard range is also vary, there is a big difference, make the slices in the clinical curative effect is affected by a lot of.

3、中药饮片形式传统饮片系指目前国家和地方标准中收载的，能直观鉴别出品种的饮片。其不足之处为配方时剂量欠准确，用量大且需煎煮，饮片厚大，有效成分煎出率低，包装简陋，容易串味，质量影响因素多，本身及环境卫生差，配方工作强度大、速度慢、出错率高及难以自动化调剂等。

The traditional Chinese medicine drinking tablet form is used in the current national and local standards, which can be used to identify the varieties. Its deficiencies for formula dose owes accurately, dosage is large and needs to decoction, large and thick slices, Fried effective ingredient goes out rate is low, pallet packing, easy changing, factors affecting the quality, and poor sanitation, formula working intensity big, slow speed, high fault rate and difficult to automatic dispensing, etc.

4、中药饮片生产企业中药饮片产业基础差，技术改造起步晚，是中药各产业中最薄弱的环节，整体产业水平还很低，表现在生产企业多，规模小，效益低，技术开发和创新能力弱，生产工艺和设备落后，管理不规范等问题。绝大多数中药饮片生产企业是作坊式的加工点，生产条件简陋，生产、质量检测设备落后，企业的现代经营管理经验及专业技术人才缺乏，以致药材的有效成分流失，饮片质量难以保证。

4, Chinese medicine yinpian production enterprises with a weak foundation in Chinese medicine yinpian industry, technical reform started late, is the industry's weakest link, Chinese medicine, the whole industry level is still very low, performance in production enterprises, small scale, low efficiency, technological development and innovation ability is weak, backward production technology and equipment, the problems such as nonstandard management. The vast majority of Chinese medicine yinpian processing centers, production enterprise is mill that crude production conditions, production, quality testing equipment, modern enterprise management experience and the lack of professional and technical personnel, so that the loss of active ingredients of the medicinal materials, yinpian quality difficult to guarantee.

5、中药饮片包装包装是商品储存、运输、流通中保证商品质量，使其不受污染的手段。而传统饮片包装简陋，主要为麻袋、草（蒲、席）包、布袋、化纤袋，容易串味，鲜有内包装、说明及批号，缺乏统一规格。

The packaging and packaging of Chinese medicine is the means of ensuring the quality of goods in the storage, transportation and circulation of commodities. While traditional yinpian packaging pallet, mainly for the sacks, grass (pu, seats) bag, bag, chemical fiber, easy changing, there is little the inner packing, description and batch number, lack of unified specification.
