Abstract In recent years,in some papers published in and manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Palaeogeography(Chinese Edition and English Edition),the authors named rocks or rock types as “microfacies”or “lithofacies”,named the microfeatures in thin-sections under microscope as “microfacies”,and named the macrofeatures of rocks as “macrofacies”. The author wrote two short papers “Words of the Edition-in-Chief—Rocks are not microfacies”and “Words of the Edition-in-Chief—Rocks are not lithofacies”which were in Chinese and published in the Journal of Palaeogeography (Chinese Edition). However,they did not attract much attention of readers in China and outside China. In addition,in 1980s,some Chinese sedimentologists proposed “subfacies”and “microfacies”based on the macrofeatures of rocks from outcrops and drilling cores. The definition of this “microfacies”is totally different from the “microfacies”proposed by foreign sedimentologists in 1940s based on the microfeatures in thin-sections under microscope. These problems appeared repeatedly and forced the author,as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Palaeogeography(Chinese Edition and English Edition),to observe the policy of “A hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend ”,to write new papers “A review on the definitions of terms of sedimentary facies”both in Chinese and English,to clarify the definitions of the terms of sedimentary facies,i.e.,“facies”,“lithofacies”,two “microfacies”,“macrofacies”,“subfacies”,etc.,and to publish the new papers in the Journal of Palaeogeography(both Chinese Edition and English Edition). I hope that the new papers will attract attention of readers worldwide and they can write papers and participate in the discussion and contending of these problems,strive for getting some common understandings,and therefore promote the progress and development of sedimentology and palaeogeography.
