The invention discloses a Chinese herbal medicine seedling film covering and transplanting machine which comprises a frame, a ditcher, a deep scarification ditcher, a seat, a pedal, a seedling storagebox, a depth-controlled device, a shaping device, a film covering mechanism, a soil sampling device and a soil covering device. According to the machine, power is transferred to a whole machine through a three-point hanging device and a center pulling pipe under the dragging action of a tractor, and the functions such as deep scarification tractor tire mark pressing, ditching, seedling transplanting, film covering and soil covering on films are sequentially achieved. According to mature film covering techniques of northwest loess plateau drought regions, a film covering device is additionally arranged in a targeted manner, the yield of Chinese herbal medicines can be improved, the films are covered with soil by the aid of a seedling belt soil covering mechanism, the punched films are matched, so that the seedlings can break through the films and automatically grow, cost is reduced, and the yield is improved. By the aid of a most reliable artificial seedling placing mode, the whole machine is simple in structure, film covering and transplanting requirements of different types of Chinese herbal medicines can be met, labor intensity of farmers is relieved, and production efficiencyis improved.
