Theory on five tastes of Chinese materia medica is systematically analyzed and identified in the concept on five tastes and correlation between five tastes and four properties, channel tropism, ascending, and descending, floating and sinking, function and clinical compatibility. In this paper, based-bionic model was combining with chemical analysis tools, receptor theory, biological responses, model evaluation, and pharmacokinetic methods to study five tastes and four properties, meridian and functions, and to propose modernization of chemical-biological characterization pathway. Finally, authors explore the idea and method research on medicine taste and property according to systems theory and reductionist.
