Abstract

With the rapid development of national construction and geological work, from 1953 to 1956, the state set up four Sino-Soviet cooperation regional geological survey brigades (Xinjiang 13th geological brigade, Daxing’anling geological brigade, Qinling geological brigade, and Nanling geological brigade). The General Survey Notes, compiled by Huang Jiqing and Xie Jiarong in 1954, put forward unified requirements for stratigraphic division, use of geological codes, various pattern symbols, and color marks in field mapping, thus providing scientific basis for unified representation of large-scale geological maps in China. Through Sino-Soviet cooperation and the unremitting efforts of our geological predecessors, a new situation has been opened up for the regional geological survey and geological mapping in China.

Highlights

China’s geological mapping has developed rapidly, and at the same time it enjoys a lot of international reputation
From 1973 to 1976, the Geological Map of Asia (1:5 million), compiled by Li Tingdong, Li Chunyu, and Wang Hongzhen, and the Geological Map of the People’s Republic of China (1:4 million), compiled by Geng Shufang, caused a great sensation when they participated in the 25th International Geological Congress exhibition, which was highly praised by foreign media
The ore bodies in the diagram were drawn in orderly alignment and bright, contrasting colors

Summary

Introduction

With the rapid development of national construction and geological work, from 1953 to 1956, the state set up four Sino-Soviet cooperation regional geological survey brigades (Xinjiang 13th geological brigade, Daxing’anling geological brigade, Qinling geological brigade, and Nanling geological brigade). China’s geological mapping has developed rapidly, and at the same time it enjoys a lot of international reputation. China’s geological mapping have developed to a more systematic and perfect stage. Geological map information is more rich and diverse, and the printing is more standardized.
