At present，single-target drugs are difficult to produce a good effect on complex diseases，and traditional Chinese medicines，with a relatively complex mechanism of action，are difficult to achieve the expected therapeutic effect when clinically used in combination.Network pharmacology，an emerging discipline in recent years，incorporates multidisciplinary technology and content on the basis of systems biology，revealing the mechanism of interaction between Chinese native medicine ingredient and related targets，systematically and holistically suggesting the relationships between diseases and target proteins，between target proteins and drugs，and between drugs and drugs，and reflecting the effects of drugs on diseases from a network perspective，so as to design new drug molecules and develop new drugs from a different angle.To promote the sustainable development of TCM，network pharmacology has been widely used in TCM in recent years.This paper summarizes the research methods of network pharmacology in TCM and its application progress in recent years.
