Advances in science and technology have created chemical drugs and new biological drugs. After the Second World War, the entire pharmacy, from research technology, production technology to professional management technology, has made great progress. At the same time, botanical medicines that have been relatively stagnant for a long time have also gained new developments with the advancement of technology and management. So far, botanical preparations have had three stages of development. The first stage is the traditional Dan, Wan, Ointment and San. In the second stage, the traditional Chinese medicine is made by combining the extraction and rough processing technology mainly based on the hydroalcoholic or alcoholic water method with modern industrial preparation technology. The third stage is to refine and quantify modern plant medicines using modern separation and detection techniques. The three stages of botanical drugs only indicate the chronological order in which they were generated, and do not mean that the latter stage will replace or cancel the previous stage. Just as chemical medicine cannot cancel natural medicine, biological medicine cannot cancel chemical medicine. But the latter level reflects or uses more modern technology than the previous level.
