This article reviewed the historical evolution of Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) processing in ancient Chinese literature by reviewing previous works on herbal medicine. It summarized the collection of Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) processing methods in various provinces and cities'traditional Chinese medicine processing standards, and modern scientific research achievements such as Magnolia officinalis processing technology, processing effects on chemical composition and pharmacological effects, providing a basis for the standardized development of Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) processed products. According to ancient texts, the processing of Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) was first recorded in ZHANG Ji's Jinkui Yuhan Jing during the Han Dynasty. Later, different processing methods such as ginger processing (ginger roasting, ginger boiling, ginger soaking, ginger steaming, ginger roasting, etc.), wine processing and salt processing appeared. At present, the changes occur in processed Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) include phenols, volatile oils, alkaloids, glycosides and so on in literature records. The pharmacological effects of processed products of Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) include anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, anti ulcer effects, and regulation of the gastrointestinal tract. However, there is a lack of research on the correlation between changes in content and pharmacological effects in the study of processing pharmacology. Subsequent research can further explore the relationship between changes in component content and pharmacological effects in different processing methods of Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex), laying the foundation for the standardization and pharmacological application of Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) processed slices in the future.
