The invention discloses a method for controlling the quality of the Longdanxiegan Capsule. The invention adopts the combined methods of character and thin layer chromatography discrimination and high efficiency liquid chromatography content measurement so as to control the quality of the Longdanxiegan Capsule, wherein during the operation of thin layer chromatography discrimination, characteristic spots of bupleurum, radix scutellariae, scutelloside, ferulic acid, glycyrrhiza and ammonium glycyrrhetate are respectively detected, the content of gentiamarin and geniposide is detected simultaneously by the high efficiency liquid chromatography under the condition of identical chromatogram through the mode of gradient elution, the content of the gentianella of each capsule is more than 0.07 mg according to gentiamarin, and the content of the gardenia of each capsule is more than 1.0 mg according to geniposide. The method respectively carries out the operation of thin layer chromatography discrimination on the characteristic components of the Longdanxiegan Capsule, can scientifically and comprehensively reflect the existence of monarch drugs, ministerial drugs, adjuvant and conductant drugs in the Longdanxiegan Capsule, simultaneously detects the content of the characteristic components of the gentianella and the gardenia; moreover, the method is simple, scientific and easy to operate, and is conducive to the comprehensive quality control of the Longdanxiegan Capsule.
