Abstract: The study of optimization of prescription is an important link in the research of Chinese medicine prescription and a key step in the industrialization and promotion of Chinese medicine. This article introduces the concept of formulating traditional Chinese medicine, the principle, purpose, significance and guiding ideology of formulating formulas, and summarizes the methods used in formulating formulas in recent years are mainly divided into two categories, compared the experimental designs based on modern mathematical models (orthogonal design, homogeneous design, baseline proportional design, Plackett-Burman design, central composite design, Box-Behnken, Doehlert design), and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages in experimental arrangements, data analysis and fitting models, the scope of application and practicability in the field of formulation optimization, and put forward the prospect of future method design.

Key words: Chinese medicine, prescription optimization, experimental design, mathematical model
