Traditional Chinese medicine is gaining more and more widespread recognition. In particular, traditional Chinese medicine has received more attention at home and abroad by actively participating in the construction of "the belt and road initiative" and effectively preventing and controlling the COVID-19 epidemic. From a long-term perspective, the standardization, modernization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine have become the general trend, and to conform to this trend, standardization research is particularly important in it. The standardized research of TCM nouns can be said to be the foundation of basic research. If the standardized level of TCM nouns is low, it will be difficult to produce objective and high-quality TCM standards, let alone form a sustainable and mature discipline.
