Endangered Chinese medicinal materials have a wide range of applications and play an indispensable role in the system of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). The protection of these endangered medicinal materials has always been a crucial task in the development of TCM. This paper systematically reviewed the changes in regulatory bodies for the protection of endangered Chinese medicinal materials and their related management policies since 1949, and conducted an in-depth discussion of the current laws and regulations governing the protection of endangered Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, the paper comprehensively organized the current situation of endangered Chinese medicinal material protection in China, analyzed its causes, pointed out deficiencies in the current protective measures, and proposed countermeasures and suggestions for improvement, with the aim of providing references and guidance for the sustainable development of Chinese medicinal materials. Through this review, the paper aimed to raise public and governmental awareness of the importance of protecting endangered Chinese medicinal materials, thereby promoting the sustainable and healthy development of TCM. Additionally, the paper hopes to provide ideas for the formulation and implementation of relevant policies and contribute to the further improvement and deepening of the protection efforts for endangered Chinese medicinal materials.

According to the process of the technical specification (TS) design for the fourth national survey of the Chinese materia medica resources (CMMR), we analyzed the assignment and objectives of the national survey and pointed out that the differences about CMMR management around China, the distribution of CMMR and their habitat, the economic and technological level, and even enthusiasm and initiative of the staff, etc. are the most difficult points for TS design. And we adopt the principle of combination of the mandatory and flexibility in TS design. We fixed the key points which would affect the quality of national survey first, then proposed the framework of TS which including 3 parts of organization and 11 parts of technique itself. The framework will serve and lead the TS preparation, which will not only provide an action standard to the national survey but will also have a profound influence to the popularization and application of the survey technology of CMMR.

In order to guarantee the smooth progress of census work, complete the traditional Chinese medicine resources survey pilot tasks better, Anhui province founded the three-combined technical team organization model and practical management model. Around the objectives, integrating the professionality with the existing distribution of traditional Chinese medicine resources and the reality of technical team of the census in Anhui province. The technical team organization model combining universities, experts, locality, expressed the strength of all parties and formed efficient working groups. The establishment of responsible management, funds management and process management ensured that the Anhui census work had a high level of quality and relatively consistent progress. The result shows that the organization and management model of Anhui census technical team were the important guarantee of finishing the Anhui census work smoothly with great quality and quantity on time.

The present paper introduced the management status of wild medicinal resources (WMR) including the law system, the government system and the rule system, and analyzed the main problems and their reasons for WMR management. It pointed out that the old management system for WMR was not fit the need of conversation and management of WMR. It suggested to revise the "the Law of Conversation and Manage System of Wild Medicinal Resources", and discussed the law type, the objective and the principle he government system, management field and rule system for the revised law in details.
