Abstract
Classic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulas are an essential component of TCM, embodying profound theoretical foundations and unique practical experiences, and serving as a crucial guarantee for the clinical efficacy of TCM. In recent years, with the development of modern medical technologies, research on the modernization of classic formulas has become one of the hotspots in the field of TCM. Among them, Minor Bupleurum Decoction, a representative formula from the Treatise on Febrile Diseases, has demonstrated broad adaptability and excellent therapeutic effects in clinical applications due to its intricate formulation and remarkable efficacy. This article systematically analyzes and summarizes the mechanisms of action and application value of Minor Bupleurum Decoction in areas such as liver diseases and febrile illnesses, starting from the classic theoretical origins, medicinal composition, and traditional effects of the formula, and integrating modern pharmacology and clinical research. Additionally, this article explores the major issues and future directions in the modernization research of classic TCM formulas, aiming to provide scientific evidence for the modernization and internationalization of TCM. By uncovering the intrinsic rules of classic formulas and integrating them with modern science, the exploration of their clinical potential not only promotes the inheritance and innovation of TCM but also provides important ideas for addressing contemporary medical challenges.
