随着人口增加，中药野生资源逐渐枯竭，已远远不能满足人类需要，栽培药材成为市场的主要来源，导致了多种药材质量严重下降，对我国具有几千年历史的传统中医药产生严重威胁。栽培是解决资源短缺的最基本、有效的手段，提高栽培中药材质量是解决这一问题的关键。对目前中药材生产现状进行分析，指出了栽培药材生产过程中存在的盲目扩大种植区域、缺乏对优质种质资源的重视、优质生产技术缺乏等问题，并提出了提高栽培药材质量和产量的思路。中药材栽培应优化种植区域、规范培育优良种质、改善优质药材生产技术、扩大中药应用市场，在提高药材质量和产量的前提下，进一步弘扬我国传统文化。

With the increase in population and depletion of resources, the wild resources of Chinese materia medica are not enough to meet the demand of human, so the cultivated resources become a major source, resulting in severe degradation of herbal medicine quality. It poses a serious threat to traditional Chinese medicine with thousands of years of history. The cultivation is the most basic and effective means to solve the shortage of resources, and improving the quality of the cultivated medicinal materials is the key to deal with this problem. In this paper, the current production and developments of herbal medicine were discussed, the problems of blindly expanding planting area, lack of enough attention to germ plasm resource and advanced production technology were prevalent. The idea of improving the quality and yield of cultivated medicinal materials was put forward. On the premise of improving the quality and yield of medicinal materials, the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials should optimize the planting area, standardize the cultivation of fine high-quality germplasm, improve the production technology of high-quality medicinal materials, and expand the application market of Chinese materia medica to expand Chinese traditional culture.
