                 Abstract: The materia medica of Shixiantao holds a prominent place in Chinese folk tradition with a long history of
                 extensive use. It functions both as a traditional medicinal plant commonly used and as a resource possessing significant
                 value in dietary culture. To address issues such as historical confusion in its botanical origin recordsꎬ discrepancies
                 among provincial standardsꎬ and the lack of systematized traditional medicinal knowledgeꎬ this study integrated medical
                 ethnobotany on historical herbal textsꎬ local chronicles of Chinese materia medicaꎬ and ethnomedical literature. Through
                 this processꎬ traditional knowledge regarding nomenclatureꎬ botanical originsꎬ morphological characteristicsꎬ and
                 geographical distribution was consolidated. Furthermoreꎬ an ethnobotanical inventory of Shixiantaos traditional medicinal
                 knowledge across thirteen ethnic groups was compiled. And based on bibliometricsꎬ this study counted the research
                 reports on Shixiantao in the past 40 years domestically and internationallyꎬ analyzed the keywords of the published
                 articles to reveal the correlation between its traditional knowledge and modern researchꎬ and integrated progress in
                 chemistry and pharmacology. The results were as follows: (1) The origin of Shixiantao exhibits significant diachronic
                 evolution and confusion. The earliest medicinal documentationꎬ traced to the Tang dynastyꎬ featured Pholidota
                 yunnanensis as a substitute for the materia medica of Dendrobium spp. (Shihu). From the Qing dynasty to the Republican
                 periodꎬ diverse sources were involvedꎬ including plants from genera like Coelogyne and Bulbophyllum. Modern literature
                 establishes Pholidota chinensis as the accepted originꎬyet the folk market continues to see trade in multiple speciesꎬ
                 including Pholidota cantonensis and Coelogyne fimbriata. (2) Shixiantao is currently incorporated into the medical
                 systems of 13 ethnic groupsꎬ primarily utilizing the pseudobulbs to treat headachesꎬ traumatic injuriesꎬ lymph node
                 tuberculosisꎬ etc. Records of its traditional propertyꎬ flavorꎬ meridian tropismꎬ and efficacy are highly consistent with
                 modern pharmacological research. (3) Bibliometric statistics show that research concerning Shixiantao over the past 40
                 years has focused on chemical components (phenanthrenesꎬ bibenzylsꎬ etc.) and the mechanisms of analgesic and anti ̄
                 inflammatory activitiesꎬ providing strong evidence supporting its traditional efficacy in treating headachesꎬ inflammationꎬ
                 etc.ꎬ highlighting the important inspiration of ethnic medicinal experience for modern research. This study represents the
                 first systematic integration of Shixiantaos historical evolution of botanical origin according to historical herbsꎬ multi ̄
                 ethnic traditional knowledgeꎬ and modern scientific evidenceꎬ confirming the inspirational value of ethnic medicinal
                 experience for contemporary drug research. Future research should prioritize resolving taxonomic confusion among closely
                 related species and ensuring resource sustainability. Under these premisesꎬ a synergistic innovation system integrating
                 traditional knowledgeꎬ resource conservation and modern research and development should be constructed to promote the
                 inheritance of ethnic medicinal culture and ecological conservation.
