Preface

My late teacher, Professor Yin Tsan-Hsun (Yin Zanxun), once said, "Everyone desires to be a great pioneer in a new field, or a path breaker in technical innovation. No one wants to bury himself in the laborious work of taking passages from so many books and doing tedious textual research to compile a reference book. But I believe that the compilation of reference books is a job to consume one's time to benefit others. This can smooth the way for others, why not go ahead with it?" (The Random Talking ofthe Past, 1988, China Ocean Press, 119). Each country has developed its own code of stratigraphic nomenclature and produced catalogues of geological names, such as the Stratigraphical Lexicon (see Lexique Stratigraphique International, LSI), to maintain the scientific principle of a "unique" geological name and assume the Law of Priority. However, the lack of a comprehensive Chinese catalogue of geological formation names has led to confusion in the management of Chinese geological nomenclature, to difficulty in judging and preserving the Law of Priority, and hindered standardization and efficient administration.

1. The Development of Chinese Geological Formation Catalogue It has taken a long time for a comprehensive catalogue of Chinese geological forma-

tion nomenclature to be developed, and this period can be divided into four stages. Prior to the 1st National StratigraJ>hical Conference (1959)

Yungshen S. Chi, the late Chinese geologist, completed a 196 page English-language manuscript entitled Chinese Geological Tenninology, Geological Survey of China, Peking, March 1933, which defined 627 geological formation names. References were presented at the beginning of the main body of the manuscript, and authors and the geological formation names they first used were annexed at the end. Formation names and references were collected up to the end of 1932. Though Ullpublished, the manuscript was the first comprehensive compilation of Chinese geological for-

mation names. J. Roger, a French geologist, subsequently entitled the manuscript Lexique Stratigraphique de Chine in 1963. In 1947, Yin Zanxun invited Sheng Jinzhang to transcribe the 627 geological names in Yungshen S. Chi's manuscript onto portable cards. Sheng Jinzh<mg extracted the following categories from the manuscript: (i) Geographic names spelt in the Wade-Giles system of Chinese Romanization; (ii) Chinese names; (iii) Times; (iv) Standard locations; (v) Authors, dates and works; (vi) Lithology; and (vii) Thickness. Later, Yin Zanxun copied onto cards new geological names he found to supplement the original627 geological terms. By June 1958 he had collected 2600 names, which were copied, printed and bound in a volume by Xu Daoyi, Zhang Shouxin, Yang Xingtai, Xie Cuihua and Shi Shunyao. In early 1959, the Preparatory Committee of the National Stratigraphical Conference decided to produce a comprehensive reference book of Chinese geological formation names for the conference. The task was assigned to the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. After two months of hard work, the fmal version was completed at tile end of September 1959. A total of 2950 geological fonnation names were collected, 2632 of which having full records of sources and definitions which were listed in the main text, with the remaining 318 incomplete records presented as a supplement. This volume was the official conference document - File No. 138 titled "Corpus of Stratigraphical Terminology of China (Draft)'' (ii+ 169) - and was edited by the Stratigraphic.:'ll Department, Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and printed by the Preparatory Committee of the National Stratigraphical Conference. The following fascicules ofLexique Straligraphiquelnternaliona/ relating to China were edited by Commission de Stratigraphie, Congres Geologique International: Volume Ill Asie, Fascicule I, Republique Populaire Chinoise [I, fi (1964), lii Complement ( 1971 )], edited by J. Roger (French) Fascicule 2b, Mandchourie-Manchuria ( 1956), edited by Uemura eta/. (English) Fascicule 4, Taiwan (Formose) (1957), edited by T.C. Biq eta/. (English) Many problems exist in the five books mentioned so far: academic mistakes; a non-Wade-Giles system of Chinese Romanization contrary to the international practice; and incorrect spellings. Moreover, Liaoning Province, Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province in northeastern China, and Taiwan Province, were not considered as parts of the People's Republ ic of China, and many vestiges of Japanese cultural aggression remain in tile books. All of ti1ese problems are objectionable to tile Chinese people and will be detailed later. The compilation and publication of the Asian Volume also reminded us of the necessity and urgency of compiling a comprehensive catalogue of Chinese stratigraphical names. The 1st (1959) and 2nd (1979) National Stratigraphical Conferences The coining of Chinese stratigraphical unit names expanded almost daily due to the rapid development of geological research in China. It had been estimated tllat the total was greater than 4000 by tile end of 1964. With increasing numbers of stratigraphical units, there were many problems with standardization. Geological

names must be coined and used to solve problems, and also be present to geologists with a consistent reference. In February 1963, under the leadership ofYin Zanxtm, researchers at the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Sciences began to compile the Stratigraphical Lexicon of China. It was intended to comprise 14 volumes, which would be completed and published in succession due to the large volume of information. The series comprised: (i) Presinian; (ii) Sinian; (iii) Cambri<m; (iv) Ordovician; (v) Silurian; (vi) Devonian; (vii) Carboniferous; (viii) Permian; (ix) Triassic; (x) Jurassic; (xi) Cretaceous; (xii) Tertiary; (xiii) Quaternary; (xiv) Others and Addenda. We decided to start from the seventh volume, the Carboniferous, and to prepare the second edition after ali 14 volumes were published. We would then incorporate all14 volumes into one book, and produce a completed Chinese Lexicon of Stratigraphy covering all the geological periods represented in China. In February 1966, Ute Chinese Lexicon of Stratigraphy (7)- Carboniferous was published by Science Press (Beijing). However, tlle Cultural Revolution began in stunmer oftlle same year, and the project was aborted. Afterwards, due to tlle influence of tlle Chinese Lexicon of Stratigraphy (7)Carboniferous, geologists from a few Chinese provinces produced several local stratigraphical lexicons. For example, Lexicon ofStratigraphical Names ofthe Western Qinling Mt. (1981, Regional Geology of Gansu, vol.l, serial no.8, in Chinese) witll more U1an 300 names, edited by Zhai Yupei, Cai Tiliang and Wei Dingxin, and consisting of preface, main body and index; Liaoning Lexicon of Stratigraphy ( 1985, Bulletin of the Geological Society of Liaoning Province, no.l, in Chinese) witll921 names, edited by Han Guang and Liu Xiaoliang and consisting of preface, editorial notes, main body, references and Chinese index; and tlle Guizhou Lexicon ofStratigraphy (1996, Guizhou Science and Technology Press, in Chinese), edited by Liu Yuzhou from the Regional Geological Survey of Guizhou Geology and Mineral Resources, and which consists of preface, contents, appendices, index to head words and references. Its body of text was arranged according to geological periods, and included tlle rock type, biology, chronological stratum unit, climate period and physiographic time. Some entries contained sectional drawings and description tables. However, many names in the Urrcc publications were from unpublished material which could not accurately reflect the features of local stratigraphy, causing inconvenience to users.

The 3rd National Stratigraphical Conference (2000) After 1990, two detrimental events occurred in tlle history of Chinese stratigraphy. The first was the advent of the "Principle of Historical Priority". This priority was based on the original use of the stratigraphical name, but not on its publication. The priority was subscribed to the Stratigraphical Lexicon of China, which was organized and executed by tlle National Stratigraphical Commission of China and edited by the Editorial Committee of Stratigraphical Lexicon of China (late chief editor Cheng Yuqi, then the vice director of tlle National Stratigraphical Commission of China). ("In each volume, the selected items of tlle stratigraphicaltmits, their creators and the dates of establishment all follow those used by their original autllors

as far as possible. However, for quite a number of items within the stratal units, although the creators are listed, their original works are not accessible, or the original titles only appear in unpublished reports and documents. For such items, therefore, their original creators' articles are not or can not be listed in the 'References' of the volume". Stratigraphical Lexicon ofChina, Preface) The second event was the "Double Standard in Priority of Stratigraphical Nomenclature". Unfornmately, not only did the National Stratigraphical Commission of China not correct the lopsided approach of the "Principle of Historical Priority", it also created the legal conditions for it. To legalize the Priority Principle, the Commission maintained a double standard for priority during the revision of stratigraphical nomenclattlfe, which was evident in the Chinese Stratigraphical Guide (Revised Edition, 2001). In addition, The Lithostratigraphic Dictionmy of China (2000) edited by Gao Zhenjia, Chen Keqiang and Wei Jiayong, all spelt in Pinyin, assembled only 85 percent of all geological unit names, and had the same problem of the "Principle of Historical Priority".

M ter the 3rd National Stratigraphical Conference Due to the inadequacies of the Stratigraphical Lexicon of China and The Lithostratigraphic Dictionary ofChina, and lhe need for Chinese stratum standardiz.ation, we tmdertook the independent compilation of a comprehensive catalogue of Chinese geological formation nomenclature. In 1997, I began to write the Geological Tenninology of China (1866- 1965), and its Chinese edition was published by Science Press (Beijing) in 200 I. With the financial support of the State Key Laboratory of Paleobiology and Stratigraphy (Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences), I finished Geological Tenninology of China (19662000) (tmpublished). To produce a comprehensive reference book, I have combined the two into one and entitled it Geological Formation Names ofChina (1866- 2000). Geological Formation Names of China (1866- 2000) is an up-to-date data-base of Chinese geological formation names. Chinese lexicons of the fonnation names used in the geologicalliteratme and on geological maps have been included. Fmthermore, it is an import<mt tool for critical revision of Chinese lithostratigraphy.

2. Several Important Concerns of the Book Problems in Romani1.ation of Geographical Components of Chinese Geological Formation Names Thomas Francis Wade ( 18 18-1895) was a British diplomat and Sinologist who formulated the Wade-Giles Spelling System. In 1842, Wade came to China with the British army and stayed for more than 40 years. In 1854, he was appointed customs commissioner in Shanghai. He returned to England in 1883. During his time in China, he wrote lhe Chinese textbook Colloquial Chinese - A Progressive Course. Wade attempted to capture the characteristics of the Chinese language by using Latin letters to spell Chinese characters, i.e. the Wade-Giles Spelling System of

Chinese Romanization. The system had been for a long time the most popular form of Chinese Romanization in the West, as well as in China, even after the official introduction of Pinyin in 1958 and its adoption in 1979. The late Premier Zhou Enlai proposed in January 1958 that the Scheme for the Chinese Phonetic Alphabet should be used to transliterate Chinese personal and geographic names in external documents, books and newspapers. The scheme began to be used in all fields after the approval of the National People's Congress (NPC) in February of that year. In this book, we in general use Pinyin to spell Chinese personal and geographic names. However, as a technical reference book written in English for introducing Chinese geological formation names, we should state some additional editorial principles to assist readers to be familiar with U1e oldstyle spelling in consulting the literanrre: (i) We have not changed the headwords first published in tl1e Wade-Giles Spelling System, to minimize the mrrnber of Romanized Chinese fonnation names. For example, Tsang Shan Group (ft WW!\) is not changed to Cangshan Group; fue personal name Hsieh C Y (1Af*5R) is not changed to Xie Jiarong. (ii) We adopt Pinyin for headwords not used in the WadeGiles Spelling System, or for those wifuout Romanized names when first published. For example, y)i!~ i3 is translated into Ceyu Formation; the personal name llm* %it is translated into Lu Zongbin. (iii) We usc Pinyin to transliterate the geographic names in Uygur, Mongolian and Tibetan languages. For example, ~til is vlritten as Qamdo, not Changdu; -*~ *mas Gohnud City, not Ge'ermu City. (iv) We adopt local spellings in English newspapers and periodicals for geographic names in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and Taiwan Province. For example, we usc Hong Kong instead ofXianggang; ~ 5(. in Taiwan Province is spclt as Chiayi, not Jiayi. (v) We keep a few common spellings for Chinese geographic names used in overseas books, newspapers and periodicals to make it easy for foreigners to read. For example, 5*~ l:l is equivalent to Kalgan Fonnation, not Zhangjiakou Fonnation. (vi) To distinguish between Lii and Lu, and so on, ii used in Pinyin is not adopted in fuis book because it does not exist in fue English language. For example, ~ 1113 is written as Lveyang, not Liieyang or Lueyang, § t-Hil is written as Lvcun Fonnation, not Liicun Fonnation or Lucun Fonnation.

Some Political Concerns of the Book Due to fue long time frame over which Chinese geological nomenclature has been coined, some regions have quite different political backgrounds. For example, Taiwan became a Japanese colony after fue Sino-Japanese war of 1894-1895, and was retaken by China in 1945. Three provinces in Northeastern China were invaded and occupied by the Japanese in 1931, and were also retaken in 1945. Hong Kong was invaded and occupied by fue British in 1841 and became a UK colony. It was not until 1997 U1at China reassumed sovereignty over Hong Kong. Therefore, some references in this book include Manchukuo CfhiWWH Iii), Manchllfia (tJi,til;Hi), Kuantung Province, South Manchuria (ii m.**~'), Ryojun (~JIW!), Formosa (i:l'~). Colonial Government cm~ :llf2iC)(}ff (W~)), and so on. To show our respect to fue original work of past geologists, and not to increase fue number of Chinese fonnation names, I kept the original references unchanged and stated specific geographic

names which belong to the People's Republic of China. Why Compile and PubUsh a Com1uebensive Reference Book of Chinese Geological Formation Names in English? One of the purposes of this book is to provide a comprehensive reference on Chinese geological formation names for those international geologists who have visited China, and for those who have not visited but wish to familiarize themselves with Chinese nomenclature. Another purpose is to declare that Chinese geologists have different views to those of A. Salvador, the former Chairman ofiSSC, who stated (1994, ISG, 3. B. 3, I 9-20): "The name of a new stratigraphic unit should be unique. Therefore, before auempting to establish a new formal stratigraphic unit, the authors should refer to national, state, or provincial records of stratigraphic names to determine whether a name has been used previously. The many volumes of the lUGS LSI and other appropriate national or regional lexicons constitute valuable reference sources for most countries." Chinese geologists reject the value of the reference sources of the three fascicules in LSI (Volume III, Asie) edited and issued by the Sous-Commission du Lexique of CGI, Commission de Stratigraphie, for the following reasons: (1) Mr. Dubertret, Chief Editor of LSI (Volume III, Asie), did not put two fascicules (Manchuria Fasc. published in 1956 and Taiwan Fasc. published in 1957) into the first fascicule of the People's Republic of China, but kept them as two different fascicules. This practice shows that Manchuria and Taiwan belong to Asia, not parts of the People's Republic of China, which interferes with Chinese sovereignty. (2) It does not abide by the practices and regulations that "Spellings of a geographic name (or component of the name of a stratigraphic unit) should generally conform to the usage of the country that contains the geographic locality from which the name has been taken" on spelling of geographic names, in the first fascicule (1964, 1971) of LSI (Volume III, Asie). Ahnost all the entries in it have been changed to the French spellings. For example, Ashan (flilJLIJ) is changed to Acan; Aghchomaq (lfiiJ:f,UpIb%) to Akhotsemak; Kuhsiangum (Jiiffi-3/ II:!.) to Housiandatm; Choukoutien Formation (fiiJ D fJim ) to Tchjooukooutien Formation. These changes are tmacceptable, especially since they are contrary to common Chinese spellings. Chinese geologists do not recognize them. (3) It does not abide by the practices and regulations that "The geographic component of a name should not be altered by translation into another language" on spelling of geographic names, in LSI Fascicule 2b. There are 214 entries in the LSI Manchuria Fasc., in which 80 geographic names have two kinds ofRomanized modes (in common Chinese style and Japanese style, there are in total I 60). Among the 80 geographic names with double Romanized spelling, 24 entries are in Japanese pronunciation and spelling, while the remaining 56 are listed as reference entries in the Japanese style. For example, according to Japanese pronunciation, Gongyuan (I.~) in Liaoning Province, China, is translated into Miyanohar; Kuhsiangtun (J®l 31 Guangdong Regional Geological Sur飞鸣I T，巳am， Guangdong Bureau of Geology, 1964, ExplauatoJY Text for 1 200000 Geo logical Map of Hainan Islaud ( Eding in Dongfa吨 County， Hainan Province ( :For limestone @EarlyPennian ( Synonymous

Hsihsia Limestone () Hsihsia Kalkstein, Chihsia Limestone (Grabau A W, 1923–1924), Chihsia Formation (Lee J S, 1930) The term was introduced by Richthofen F von (1912, China,

bd.III, 727, fig.99), who vaguely applied it to a thick sequence of limestone (Frech F, 1911, in Richthofen’s China, bd.V, 61, first appeared in a manuscript by Richthofen F von) Hsihsia Limestone was found in a small hill, Qixiashan (Hsi-hsia-shan, or Single Tree Hill), some 20 km east of Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province Lee J S, Chu S (1930, Bull. Geol. Soc. China, vol.9, 37-43) applied the term Chihsia Formation to include three limestones, named Huanglung Limestone, Chuanshan Limestone and Chinglung Limestone. Afterwards, Lee J S (1931, Bull. Geol. Soc. China, vol.10, 273-290) abandoned his former usage of the term and definitely redefined it as a formation beginning from his “lower lydite” and ending at his “upper lydite”. The vague original name defined a series of limestone between two sets of clastic rocks (lower Wutung Quartzite and present Lungtan Formation), for dark gray thick chert limestone, with irregular chert bodies (after Richthofen F von’s “profil durch den Hsi-hsia-shan and the Wu-kung-shan”, 727, fig.99). It seems to correspond to the sum of the present Hochow Limestone, Laohudong Dolomite, Hunglung Limestone, Chuanshan Limestone, Zhenjiang Limestone and the part of overlaid “lower lydite to upper lydite” (i.e. Lee J S’s Chihsia Limestone, 1931) Early Carboniferous-Early Permian Roger J, the President of the Sub-commission on the Lexique (1964, LSI, vol.III, Asie, fasc.1, Republique Populaire Chinoise, I, 278-284) did not know the story of who, when, where and in which reference the Hsihsia Limestone was published and come to be what it was today. He explained the distribution and the characters of the Hsihsia Limestone in ten provinces covering Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hubei, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi and Hunan in South China, hardly ever did he think of those of the naming locality Hsihsiashan some 20 km east of Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. Lee J S (1931, Bull. Geol. Soc. China, vol.10, 273-290) abandoned his former usage of the term and redefined it as a limestone beginning from his “lower lydite” and ending at his “upper lydite” in Chuanshan Section. This Chihsia Formation (Lee J S, 1931) can not be correlated with the Hsihsia Kalkstein (Richthofen F von, 1912) in Qixiashan Section. Lee J S ’s Chihsia Limestone in Chuanshan Section is not the Hsihsia Kalkstein but a “teratoma” of it. It is homonymous with the Hsihsia Limestone. Homonym: Qixia Basalt.
