Abstract The palaeogeographic map is a graphic representation of physical geographical characteristics in geological history periods and human history periods. It is the most important result of palaeogeographic study. The author, as the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Palaeogeography, Chinese Edition and English Edition, aimed at the problems of the articles submitted to and published in the Journal of Palaeogeography in recent years and the relevant papers and books of others, and integrated with his practice of palaeogeographic study and mapping, wrote this paper. The content mainly includes the data of palaeogeographic mapping, the problems of palaeogeographic mapping method, the "Single factor analysis and multifactor comprehensive mapping method - Methodology of quantitative lithofacies palaeogeography ", i.e., the "4 steps mapping method", the nomenclature of each palaeogeographic unit in palaeogeographic map, the explanation of each palaeogeographic unit in palaeogeographic map, the explanation of significance of palaeogeographic map and palaeogeographic article, the evaluative standards of palaeogeographic map and palaeogeographic article, and the self-evaluation. Criticisms and corrections are welcome.
Fund:The primary Chinese manuscript of the article Problems of palaeogeographic researches and palaeogeographic mapping was specially reported in a palaeogeographic symposium in the 13th National Conference of Palaeogeography and Sedimentology that was held by China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), October 2014, in Beijing, China. It aroused an enthusiastic discussion. On the basis of the comments and suggestions of the attendees at the symposium, I rewrote the primary Chinese and English manuscripts and the article's name was changed to On palaeogeographic map. During the long rewriting course, Mrs. Zheng Xiujuan, Wu Xiaoming, Liu Min, Wang Yuan, the editors of the Journal of Palaeogeography, actively supported me in polishing, typewriting, mapping and editing the article. Prof. S. Kershaw, Prof. G. Shanmugam and Prof. Ian D. Somerville reviewed the final English manuscript; Prof. Chen Jingshan reviewed the final Chinese manuscript. They gave me a great deal of valuable comments. I heartily thank all of the above people. If without their help and support, it is very difficult for me to complete this article both in Chinese and English.
