By collecting and analyzing the information of the processing of Flos Sophorae in ancient and recent literatures, we discovered that such methods as steaming, boiling, stir-frying and baking had been used before Qing Dynasty. There were more than 10 kinds of different decoction pieces due to different subsidiary agents and distinction of processing degree. In modern times, besides stir-frying with vinegar used in Jilin, stir-flying with honey used in Henan and Shandong, being crude, yellowing by stir-frying and carbonizing by stir-frying are used in other places. This research has provided useful information for the modern processing study by summarizing the previous experiences earnestly.
通过收集和分析古今文献中槐花炮制的信息，我们发现清代以前就已采用蒸、煮、炒、炙等方法。由于辅料不同及炮制程度的差异，有十多种不同的饮片。在现代，除吉林用醋炒、河南和山东用蜜炒外，其他地方还有生用、炒黄和炒炭等方法。本研究认真总结前人经验，为现代炮制研究提供了有用信息。
