OBJECTIVE：To establish the quality standard for Tongmai pill. METHODS： TLC was used for the qualitative identification of Salvia miltiorrhiza， Angelica sinensis and  Carthamus tinctorius. HPLC was used for the content determination of ferulic acid. The column was Diamonsil C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1％ aqueous phosphoric acid （17 ∶ 83，V/V） at a flow rate of 1 ml/min， the detection wavelength was 316 nm， the column temperature was 30 ℃，and the injection volume was 10 μl.. RESULTS： The TLC of S. miltiorrhiza， A. sinensis and  C. tinctorius showed clear spots and good separation. The linear range of ferulic acid was 8-80 μg/ml（r＝0.999 8）； RSDs of precision， stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2％； recovery was 97.2％-99.6％（RSD＝1.2％，n＝6）. CONCLUSIONS： The standard can be used for the quality control of Tongmai pill.
