Methods   Multi-stage stratified and random cluster sampling was employed for questionnaires from 862 rural residents. Results   The validity rate of all questionnaires was 96.52%. 31.25% of the rural residents knew the system, 79.23% thought it was good, and 40.38% preferred to use essential medicines. The rural residents mainly obtained the knowledge about the essential medicine system from television (58.46%), free publicity materials (43.46%) and doctors (35.00%). Conclusion   The rural residents have low awareness of the essential medicine system, so it is necessary to adjust propaganda ways, enhance the communication with stakeholders, and regulate stakeholders’ behavior.
