Abstract：Objective To explore the current research status and development trends of different origin identification techniques for traditional Chinese medicine materials(TCMM),and to expand the research scope for TCMM origin studies.Methods Using keywords such as"TCMM","origin",and"identification",a literature review was conducted on relevant research papers published in recent 10 years in databases such as CNKI,VIP Information,PubMed,and Web of Science.The focus of the literature review was on different origin identification techniques.Results Different origin identification techniques for TCMM include a variety of methods such as morphological and microscopic identification,physical and chemical identification,fingerprint technology,DNA molecular marker identification,bioactivity evaluation,and artificial intelligence identification techniques combined with computer algorithms.Traditional identification methods such as morphological identification,microscopic identification,and general physical and chemical identification are simple and easy to perform,but rely on experience and have poor specificity.Methods such as spectroscopy,fingerprint analysis,and DNA marker technology have overcome the above shortcomings and are accurate,reliable,and easy to operate.Artificial intelligence identification techniques are more accurate and efficient,greatly reducing labor and time costs.Conclusion There are certain difficulties and uncertainties in identifying the different origins of TCMM.Therefore,multiple Methods can be combined for comprehensive identification,leveraging the advantages of each identification method to ensure accurate results.In the future,TCMM identification will become more intelligent and automated,utilizing artificial intelligence,machine learning,and other technologies to improve identification efficiency and accuracy.
