  Abstract: Abstract：Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a stubborn intestinal inflammatory disease with an unclear pathogenesis, characterized by clinical manifestations such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, recurrent mucus and bloody stools, and tenesmus. Epidemiological data show that the incidence of this disease is continuously rising, and the peak age group of onset is showing a trend of younger age, which has seriously threatened the quality of life of patients. Mesalazine is a basic drug for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, and its treatment mainly focuses on the intestinal mucosa, belonging to an anti-inflammatory drug with local intestinal action. However, this treatment method has limitations. Even if the intestinal inflammation of UC patients is relieved, they still have long-term symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, and the immune function of the body has not been fundamentally improved, leading to an easy recurrence of the disease. The treatment goal of UC is to effectively control and continuously relieve clinical symptoms, promote the repair and regeneration of damaged intestinal mucosa, and prevent complications. This article summarizes the research content of traditional Chinese medicine on UC to further promote the application research of traditional Chinese medicine in the clinical treatment of UC.
