当前，高等中医药院校方剂学教材整体框架、编写体例等已较为稳定，但在方剂分类中仍存在分类标准模糊、分类与临床脱节、分类评价局限等争议。以中国中医药出版社出版的第十一版全国高等中医药院校规划教材《方剂学》为蓝本进行剖析，发现类方分类法兼具病证分类法的临床优势与功用分类法的理论优势。类方标准统一、适于理论教学，强化方证相应、适于临床索方，凸显方剂特色、研究路径清晰，不仅有助于培养学生的中医临证思维和临床能力，也进一步推动了以临床价值为导向的中医学现代研究进程，从而为现行《方剂学》教材分类方法改进提供有益的启鉴。

The overall structure and writing format of formulology textbooks in higher education institutions of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） have become relatively stable. However， disputes remain regarding the classification of prescriptions， including vague classification standards， a disconnect between classification and clinical practice， and limitations in classification evaluation. Through an analysis of the 11th edition of the textbook Formulology published by the China Traditional Chinese Medicine Publishing House， it is found that the species classification method combines both the clinical advantages of disease-based classification and the theoretical strengths of function-based classification. The species classification unifies standards， making it suitable for theoretical teaching， while emphasizing the correspondence between prescriptions and syndromes， enhancing its clinical relevance. This method highlights the unique characteristics of TCM prescriptions， provides a clear research path， and fosters the development of students’ clinical thinking and practical abilities. Additionally， it promotes the modern research of TCM with a focus on clinical value， offering useful insights for improving the classification method in the current formulology textbooks.
