Abstract During the past 30 years(1987-2016),a great progress has been made in researches of soft-sediment deformation structures(SSDS),seismites and palaeoearthquakes in China. However,the research thought of this academic field is not open-minded. It is almost with one viewpoint,i.e.,almost all the papers published in journals of China considered the beds with SSDS as seismites. On the other hand,the authors are very glad to learn that the professors and students of China University of Petroleum(East China)have proposed different academic viewpoints on the origin of SSDS in Lingshan Island,Qingdao,Shandong Province,China. It is a very active academic atmosphere. The authors?? ideas are as follows: (1)The SSDS are sedimentary structures with multi-origin. The term “SSDS”is a good sedimentary and geological term and should be utilized continually. (2)The term “seismites”is a term which is definitely assigned to the beds with SSDS induced by earthquakes. It is one type of the beds with SSDS. It is not equal to SSDS. Some geologists suggested obsoleting the term “seismites”. (3)“Zhenjiyan”(震积岩)is a mistranslated term of“seismites”and should not be uesd any more. (4)Since the “seismites”and “Zhenjiyan”have been used for a long time in China and other countries,these problems should be diacussed and determined by geologists in China and other countries.
