The study constructed the TCM database, explored the implicitrelationship between knowledge factors, and gave play to the knowledge service function of the database.Taking postpartum abdominal pain as an example, this study constructed the database of prescriptions forpostpartum abdominal pain through automatic word segmentation, text entity information acquisition,medicine performance information acquisition and data storage. By frequency analysis, the maintreatment methods of postpartum abdominal pain in ancient books of TCM were discussed. Based onthe improved Bina-Apriori algorithm, the compatibility law of puerperal abdominal pain was explored.Through the analysis of the diachronic distribution, this paper found out the times of greater contributionto prescription application, and realized the knowledge service function of prescription knowledge base.The application of digital tools in the construction and application of prescription knowledge base ofancient books of TCM can realize the structural representation of explicit knowledge and the deep miningof tacit knowledge, and provide support for the development of digitalization of TCM.
