The standardization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is pivotal for its internationalization and modernization. This paper focuses on the planting of Chinese medicinal materials and the preparation technologies of TCM, systematically reviewing the current status and challenges of their standardization development. It elaborates on the progress in planting standardization from the aspects of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), germplasm resources, and cultivation techniques. The practices and explorations in preparation technology standardization are analyzed from the perspectives of decoction pieces processing, preparation production, quality control, and the medication instruction system. Based on this analysis, the paper reveals core existing issues, including insufficient coordination within the standard system, weak quality control at the source, unclear quality transmission law during preparation, and limited discourse power in international standards. Targeted solutions are proposed. Finally, the paper looks to the future, emphasizing the need to take technological innovation as the core driving force to construct a more scientific, rigorous, open, and internationally compatible TCM standard system, providing a practical path to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality consistency of TCM products and enhance their core competitiveness.
