Abstract

The distribution, growth, output and quality of genuine crude drugs are restricted by geologic background system (GBS), whose extensional vector system "rock-->soil-->medicinal plants" accomplishes the unity of geological grand cycle and biological pulmonary circulation. This article describes how genuine crude drugs in Sichuan, such as Coptis chinensis, etc. for example, are restricted by GBS.
