ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF “CHINESE TAPHROGENY OUTLOOK”

The viewpoint "Chinese three times of taphrogeny" has evoked widespread repercussions in geological circles and society since it was founded in 1981. Based on great amount of related information at home and abroad in recent 20 years, the promotion of the academic standpoint of taphrogeny to the development of Chinese geological scientific theories, the formation and practical examination of the dualistic theory of continental oil generation, the effectiveness of the standpoint of Emei taphrogeny to the prediction of reef segment-typed gas pools in the Sichuan Basin, and the interpretation of accumulation regularities for coal-enriched zones in Southwest China and structural settings for the deposit-formation of some metallic minerals by this viewpoint are summarized. Furthermore, three aspects of experience on the development of Chinese basic geological sciences and related applied sciences are expounded, and the direction and prospects for the "Chinese taphrogeny" research are forecasted.
