Prepare a solution of 4 g of Prepared Rehmannia Root reference drug and 60 ml water, decoct 30 minutes, stand for cool, filter with absorbent cotton, wash the filtrate with two-20 ml quantities of acetidin, combine the filtrate, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, dissolve the residue in 1 ml of methanol as the reference solution. Carry out the method for thin layer chromatography(Appendix ), using silica gel G as the coating substance and the lower layer of a mixture of chloroform, xylene and acetidin(1:1), as the mobile phase. Apply separately 3-5l of each of the two solution to the plate. After developing and removal of the plate, dry in air. Spary with 2,4 -dimethylethanolnitrile to spots clear. The spot in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution correspond in position and colour to the spot in the chromatogram obtained with the reference solution and the reference drug solution.(4)Pulverize 5 g of the pills, dissolve it with 30 ml of water, cool and filter, wash the residue with 30 ml of water, and heat under reflux the residue, with 50 ml of 30% hydrochloric acid for 1 hour, cool and filter, wash the filtrate with two-25 ml chloroform, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, dissolve the residue in 1 ml of chloroform as the solution. Dissolve the 0.3 g of Rhizoma Dioscoreae Oppositae drug in 50 ml of 30% hydrochloric acid, and make the reference solution as the same way above. Carry out the method for thin thin layer chromatography(Appendix B), using silica gel G as the coating substance and mixture of chloroform and acetone （9 : 1.5）as the mobile phase. Apply separately 5 l of each of the test solution and the reference solution to the plate. After the developing and removal the plate, dry in air, examine under the ultraviolet light at 365 nm. The fluorescent spots in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution correspond in position and colour to the spots obtained with the reference drug solution.(5)Pulverize 10 g of the pills, dissolve it in 100 ml of water, cool and filter in absorbent cotton, wash the residue with 50 ml of petroleum ether (60-90) third, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, dissolve the residue in 1 ml of petroleum ether (60-90) as the test solution. Decoct the 2 g of Rhizoma Alismatis drug with 50 ml of water, cool and filter in absorbent cotton, and make the reference solution as the same way above. Carry out the method for thin layer chromatography (Appendix B), using silica gel G as the coating substance and mixture of petroleum ether, acetidin and chloroform (2:2:1) as the mobile phase. Apply separately 10-20 l of test solution and 10 l of reference drug solution to the plate. After developing and removal the plate, dry in air. Spary with 5% phosphomolybdic acid in ethanol and heat at 110 to the spots clear. The spot in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution correspond in position and colour to the spots obtained with the reference drug solution.(6)Pulverize 10 g of the pills, heat under reflux it with 50 ml of ether, cool and filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, dissolve the residue in n-hexane as the test solution. Heat under reflux 2 g Poria with 30 ml ether for 1 hour, filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, dissolve the residue in n-hexane as the reference drug solution.
