[0002] In recent years, in order to develop my country's traditional Chinese medicine industry, the country has entered the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period. The "National Medium and Long-term Science and Technology Development Plan (2006-2020)" will "strengthen the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine, and promote the modernization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine. "Listed as one of the key points of China's scientific and technological development in the future, but the development of domestic TCM dosage forms has been very slow. The big reason is due to the particularity of TCM. Due to its strong water absorption, ordinary pharmaceutical excipients are difficult to meet its use. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop new dosage forms of traditional Chinese medicine and promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine to study a hollow capsule suitable for filling traditional Chinese medicine.
