Abstract:

Since 1866, China has urgently needed a volume of standardization code that not only has features of standardization, but also is feasible for dealing with Chinese Stratigraphic Names, due to exist ing problems on stratigraphic standard and poor clearance and management of Chinese stratigraphic names. At the same time, it should be in accordance with the world standard in concepts in terms of philosophy and science. This is why this code is recommended. The code is not a supplement or a note to the Stratigraphic Guide of China; instead, it is a detailed proposal on Chinese Code of Stratigrahphic Nomenclature.

Key words: Chinese, stratigraphic nomenclature, code, commendation
