摘要 By consulting ancient Tibetan medical literature such as books of materia medica,medical works,and prescription books,as well as modern and contemporary literature and materials,and in combination with the interview and investigation of clinical use and expert consultation,we collated and verified the name,variety classification,plant origin,application and other recorded information of Tibetan herb"Azhong",and summarized and analyzed the phenomenon of mixed use or substitution of medicinal plants.According to textual research,it first appeared in the Four Medical Tantras.The Tibetan herb"Azhong"is simply recorded in the ancient books and Materia Medica,which are collectively called"Azhong".Since the 15 th century,there have been varieties such as Za Azhong,Kan Azhong,Xing Azhong,Pumou Azhong,Zha Azhong,Bang Azhong,and the top grade is called Azhong Nabu and Nacang Azhong,and the bottom grade is Azhong Gabu.According to modern literature,the origin of"Azhong"involves 12 species of plants belonging to 8 genera,5 families.At present,Arenaria kansuensis Maxim,Ajania purpurea Shih.and Thalictrum squamiferum Lecoy are the mainstream medicinal materials of"Azhong".There is a certain basis for clinical application and theoretical records in the literature in terms of the mutual alternative use of Tibetan medicinal materials such as"Azhong"and traditional medicinal materials in different regions.Therefore,it is necessary to use modern chemical technology and pharmacological experiments to conduct a comparative study on the material basis and biological activity of different varieties of medicinal materials,and carry out a survey on resources and use status,so as to standardize the use of their varieties and origins and improve the safety of clinical medication.
