The Republic of China period (1912—1949) was an important stage of transition from traditional herbalism to clinical Chinese materia medica. The clinical application of Chinese materia medica became the focus of academic attention. During the Republic of China period, the research objectives, methods, and content of clinical Chinese materia medica were clarified, and the basic framework of Chinese materia medica was established through efficacy classification and item description. Based on the historical background at that time, striving for survival in adversity were the internal factors driving the construction of clinical Chinese materia medica, and the rise of academic education and the popularity of traditional Chinese medicine journals provided favorable conditions for the development of clinical Chinese materia medica. The clinical Chinese materia medica during the Republic of China period gradually formed a theoretical structure and core content that was distinctly different from that of traditional herbal medicine, which was integrated with the scientific research of Chinese materia medica and promoted the continuous development of Chinese materia medica together with other subdisciplines, presenting distinctive characteristics of the times and important academic significance.
