With the development of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）

folk medicine has made positive progress

which put forward new requirements for standardization. After A systematic review of the standardization of folk medicine

it is found that compared with the overall status of the TCM standardization

the standardization of folk medicine started late

and there is relatively little work on standard research and formulation of folk medicine technical methods. It is still in its infancy and has not yet formed a sustainable development. There is a lack in thinking about the construction of the folk medicine standard system. It is recommended to strengthen the effective supply of folk medicine standards

pay attention to the relationship between folk medicine standards and intellectual property protection

strengthen the construction of the talent team

and make better use of the folk medicine standards playing a supporting role in folk medicine and the innovation and development of TCM.
