- Abstract: Domestic Pharmacognosy textbooks are characterized by numerous editions,complex content structure,and a rapid pace of updates.Thus,systematical summerization of textbooks has been an urgent need.In this paper,a total of 90 editions of Pharmacognosy textbooks were integrated and divided into three types based on their content structure via National Library and other information sources:comprehensive,basic,and application.Through the analysis of publication trend,the use of taxonomy,and other informations,we believe that the publication and content structure of Pharmacognosy textbooks show a certain correlation with the development of the discipline over the same period of time.Furthermore,the historical changes and the current frontier topics of Pharmacognosy textbooks over the past 90 years were compared and analyzed.We put forward the following suggestions for the future development:Pharmacognosy and Identification of Traditional Chinese Medicine would borrow from each other but need to be distinguished strictly;The contents of textbooks may be combined with frontier technologies and include the expanding scope;The adjustment of structure and the summarization of textbooks should be enhanced.Therefore,the systematic analysis of Pharmacognosy textbooks will provide an important reference for the future compilation,improving the level and overall quality of textbooks.Additionally,this review will also promote professional education and the training of professionals in Pharmacy,benefiting the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.
