OBJECTIVE： To provide reference for promoting the inherirance and development of TCM powder decoction pieces. METHODS： By retrieving literature， the inheritance， overview of modernization development， and key points in industrial development of TCM powder decoction pieces were analyzed， and development suggestion was put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS： Aiming at inheritance of TCM powder decoction pieces， suggestions were put forward as explaining scientific connotation of TCM powder decoction pieces， mining the essence of preparation technology， and cultivating comprehensive decoction pieces talents with basic knowledge of powder science. According to the particle size of powder， TCM powder decoction pieces can be divided into TCM common powder， TCM ultrafine particle powder， and TCM nano powder. Aiming at the key points of TCM powder decoction pieces， such as application scope， particle size and its correlation with the performance of TCM， grinding technology and equipment and quality standards， the developing strategies were put forward as adjusting the suitable application scope， selecting appropriate particle size， strengthening its performance research， standardizing and innovating the preparation， improving the packaging and sterilization technologies， establishing and implementing the quality standard with characteristics.
