Abstract: The intangible cultural heritage of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is the essence of the treasure house of TCM. The State Council has successively announced five batches of national intangible cultural heritage representative projects and lists of inheritors， including 182 projects and 130 inheritors in traditional medicine. A systematic analysis of current traditional medicine projects and inheritors has found problems such as unreasonable categorization， obvious category bias， large regional distribution gap， serious aging of the inheritance team， and under emphasizing in ethnic minority medicine. Therefore， it is suggested to adjust categories， balance development， rationalize categories， and increase attention， thereby providing reference for the protection of TCM intangible cultural heritage.
