  • The author

The atlas is in octavo volume. It includes 123 plates consisting of palaeogeographic maps, palaeobiogeo graphic maps, columnar sections and sedimentation profiles, etc. They are arranged in groups in the order of diminishing age, in accordance with tectonic stages. The map groups of each stage usually begin with a palaeotectonic map and each geologic period starts with an outcrop map. An outline map showing a geotectonic units of China and a series of regional tectonic profiles showing their historic development came last in the atlas with the function of a summary. A topographic map of China was put in advance of other maps as a reference for location of specific geographic names. In the general legend are included those commonly used in palaeogeographic maps, columnar sections and sedimentation profiles, which are given in the beginning of the volume. Legends used only in specified maps, such as the palaeotectonic and palaeobiogeographic, are given in the respective plates. A separate legend is compiled for the quaternary. The explanatory texts amounts to about 200,000 words and appear after all the maps, arranged in order of age. For the convenience of foreign readers an abridged English explanation has been prepared, which contains a complete translation of the first chapter(general account) and abstracts of the remaining chapters. Legends and professional annotation on the maps are also given in English an Chinese. The main aim of this atlas is thus to reveal the fundamental course in palaeogeographic development and crustal evolution of China, and to appraise its position and implication in global tectonics. We hope this Atlas will fullfill the following requirements: 1.Through the combined research in palaeogeography and palaeotectonics and the coordination of the plate tectonics theory and classical geotectonic concepts, it will lead t a better understanding of the interesting and varied tectonic and palaeogeographic development of China, so as to enrich and supplement the new globle tectonics theory. 2. It will provide a general information on sedimentary environment and geotectonic background for a strategic perspective of sedimentary and strata-bound mineral deposits and furnish basic geological data material for study of their distribution and metallogenetic conditions. 3. With its clear and systematic viewpoint and mode of presentation, with the coordination of the various maps and explanations, it will help geologists working in various fields, teachers and students in geology and geography in universities, colleges to understand the general history of crustal evolution of China, and to furnish scientific workers in other fields with relevent information they may need.
