中药炮制是中医药理论和实践中特色传统技艺，在中医药学科占有极重要地位。炮制工艺的传承与创新被列为国家战略，但我国中药炮制工艺设备行业整体技术水平仍较为落后，自主创新能力较低，同时存在高耗能、低效率、自动化和智能化水平低等情况。为加快中药炮制设备行业现代化进程，传统炮制企业迫切需要利用现代科学技术进行自动化、智能化、信息化升级改造设备。对中药炮制工具、设备的历史沿革、现状、发展及存在的问题进行系统梳理与分析，并探讨了其技术升级的可能途径与策略，以期为中药炮制工艺设备创新发展、实现中药饮片产业高质量发展奠定新思路与方法。

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) processing is a characteristic traditional technique in the theory and practice of TCM, and it occupies an extremely important position in the discipline of TCM. The inheritance and innovation of processing technology is listed as a national strategy, but the overall technical level of TCM processing equipment industry of China is still relatively backward, with low independent innovation capabilities, high energy consumption, low efficiency, and low level of automation and intelligence. In order to speed up the modernization process of TCM processing equipment industry, traditional processing enterprises urgently need to use modern science and technology to upgrade and transform equipment for automation, intelligence, and information. The historical evolution, status quo, development and existing problems of TCM processing tools and equipment are systematically sorted out and analyzed in this article, and possible ways and strategies for its technological upgrading are discussed, in order to lay new ideas and methods for the innovation and development of TCM processing equipment and the high quality development of TCM decoction piece industry.
