The property theory of Chinese materia medica is one of the foundations of traditional Chinese medicine. The property of Chinese materia medica (PCMM) is a multi-dimensional expression of the effect of Chinese materia medica (CMM), and it is related to the clinical prescription that fully reflects the clinical effect evaluation of CMM in a holistic, systematic, and scientific way. This paper discusses the source, development, and application of the PCMM by considering not only the five dimensions that constitute the PCMM but also the recognition of the human body and disease as given in traditional Chinese medicine. This paper aims to provide theoretical guidance for the rational use and development of CMM.
