Abstract Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) of traditional Chinese medicine is a vivid testimony to the continuous inheritance civilization. The study ICH from perspective geographical environment, spatial relationships and diachronic development great significance for understanding objectively reasons formation distribution patterns pathways extent its spread; as consequence, such information can help us improve our integrity historical continuity culture. From geography perspective, this seeks explore based on knowledge concerning spreading ICH. At same time, analysis technique ArcGIS used express spatiotemporal in simple, clear visual way. Also, factors influencing are analyzed. main findings follows: (1) practices cohesive whole, with tendency aggregate strong imbalance distribution. (2) There significant differences classification number (3) Traditional have obvious differentiation time space when factoring their announcement batches. (4) autocorrelation. Appreciation aforementioned features allows gain consensus evolution ICH, hence justify how we allocate funds promote projects, paying particular attention researching context, preserving extraction local characteristics
