Abstract:
The famous classical formulae are epitomes of the clinical practice experience created by doctors in history， as an important symbol of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） theory and clinical treatment approaches， it has been given a new concept connotation and become one of the breakthroughs for the development of TCM in the new era. Due to the limitations of historical literature and different cognitive perspectives of literature research， there are still common problems in determination of the dosage， original materials， processing and decocting method for the famous classical formulae， which hinder its development and registration process. In the history of more than 2 000 years， famous classical formulae have been developed in the continuous clinical application of practice. This paper systematically reviewed the evolution of the concept and history of the famous classical formulae， and introduced the evolution of the famous classical formulae in terms of name， composition， medicine， dosage， decocting method and clinical functions， including the stability of basic prescription composition， differentiation of drug bases， the progress of processing methods， the characteristics of dosages in different historical periods and the expansion of functions. In view of the research of the key information for famous classical formulae， the paper puts forward the suggestion of paying more attention to the evolution of prescriptions in the past dynasties. In textual research， we should combine the changes of medicinal resources， habits of drug use and production technology of the past dynasties， so as to bridge the ancient and modern. As to the dosage selection， we should be based on the weights and measures of all dynasties and current clinical practice to select rational dosage and decocting method. On the basis of inheriting the essence， follows the ancient but not be bounded by it， and solves the common problems in the textual research of key information from the perspective of history and development.
