摘要
根据考古发现，人类早在旧石器时代即已开始利用海洋资源。到了春秋战国时期，人类开始利用海洋生物入药，并对其功效、炮制有简单的认识。到了秦汉时期，人类对海洋中药的认识进一步深化，并创制了运用海洋药物的方剂。到了唐宋时期，海洋中药的种数以及相应的方剂明显增多，对海洋中药的性味功效以及配伍规律有了进一步认识，其治疗范围也明显扩大。明清时期，人类对海洋中药的认识主要是对前人经验的总结。建国后，由于科学技术的发展，人类开发、利用海洋资源的能力大幅提高，海洋中药的种数达到1000余种。但海洋中药的发展也面临着新的问题，即海洋中药的种数虽然增加，但对其性味功效的认识则明显滞后，严重影响了海洋中药的临床应用。
According to archaeolological discoveries, humans began to make use of marine natural resources early in the Palaeolithic era. In the Spring and Autumn period and Warring States period, they began to use marine life as medicines and also had simple cognitions on their efficacy and processing. In the Qin and Han dynasties, people further deepened the understanding of the marine Chinese materia medica and created prescriptions making use of marine drugs. In the Tang and Song period, the number of marine Chinese materia medica species and corresponding prescriptions apparently increased. The cognitions of the property, flavor, efficacy as well as the compatible principle of marine Chinese materia medica was further deepened and the scope of their treatment also significantly expanded. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the cognition of the marine Chinese materia medica was mainly the conclusions of the previous experience. After the founding of the People~ Republic of China （PRC） , with the development of science and technologies, the ability of exploiting and utilizing the marine Chinese materia medica by people dramatically increased, and the species of marine Chinese materia medica reached more than one thousand. However, the development of marine Chinese materia medica is confronted with new problems; although the number of species of marine Chinese materia medica increased, the understanding of their property and flavor is obviously lagging behind, which seriously affects the clinical application of marine Chinese materia medica.
