On April 1, the recommended national standard "Classification and Determination of TCM Constitution" (GB/T 46939-2025) was officially implemented with the approval of the General Administration of Market Supervision (National Standards Committee). Since the 1970 s, the team of Professor Wang Qi, a tenured professor at Beijing University of traditional Chinese Medicine, has divided Chinese people into nine basic physique types. For a long time, this theory has been mainly applied to clinical syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and its application in the field of public health management and product development is relatively limited. The formal implementation of this national standard marks the broader industrial application of this theory, and provides a scientific basis and operation for the precise development of medicine and food homologous products.
