plants, which are widely distributed. The dried whole plants of many kinds of plants can be used as medicinal materials, and the origin is confused. This study finds that Taraxaci Herba first appears as “Pugoncao” in the

ooks, prescription books and modern literature. According to characteristics, morphology, color and sound of the plant, it has “Huanghualang”, “Gounoucao”, “Fugongying”, “Pugongying”, “Huanghuadiding” and other aliases. Taraxaci Herba originates from the dried whole plant of Compositae family

Sonchus oleraceus
Linn. (also known as “Kujucai”) cannot replace Taraxaci Herba as medicine. Because of its characteristics of rapid reproduction and vigorous growth, Taraxaci Herba is widely distributed in most areas of China. “Absolutely no in Lingnan” stated in
Bencao Gangmu
is inconsistent with the actual situation after consulting the relevant works. Ancient physicians take growth height of Taraxaci Herba as their quality standard. Now, those with many leaves, gray green color and long roots are preferred. Ancient doctors pointed out that Taraxaci Herba were mostly harvested in April and May of the lunar calendar, and modern research believes that it should be harvested in the near flowering period. In ancient times, Taraxaci Herba is processed by many methods, such as purification, charcoal-frying, honey-frying and wine-frying. In modern times, purification is the main method. This paper provides theoretical support for the value development and rational utilization of Taraxaci Herba by systematically researching its name, origin, place of production, harvesting and processing.
