Abstract: Chiral Perturbation Theory (CHPT), as a low-energy effective field theory based on QCD, is a powerful tool in the investigation of the nuclear and particle physics. We present an introduction to the basic idea, the method and the application of CHPT, and emphasize the recent development in the formalism and the application of baryon CHPT.
