Abstract: Nameless prescriptions are an important component of traditional Chinese medicine literature, with a large number and wide distribution in various types of literature such as Chinese medical literature, excavated medical literature, stone inscriptions, Dunhuang Turpan medical literature, and overseas returned medical literature. The research on the literature organization of unnamed prescriptions involves multiple perspectives and levels of research, including the screening of the sources of unnamed prescriptions, the study of citation and loss, the study of unnamed prescription drugs, the study of disease names and treatment standards, the study of the evolution of unnamed and famous prescriptions, the study of dosage forms and usage, and the identification and application of authentic and fake literature. Organizing literature on anonymous prescriptions throughout history, tracing the academic development of anonymous prescriptions, and summarizing the characteristics and characteristics of anonymous prescriptions are of great significance for promoting research on prescription literature and further utilization of anonymous prescriptions.
