“江南古陆”在华南大地构造格局中占据十分重要的地位,前人以不同的大地构造理论为指导,对“江南古陆”形成了不同的认知。最早以槽台学说为主导,称之为地槽回返褶皱带;之后以板块构造理论为主导,将其视为洋陆碰撞造山带;再后来以大陆动力学理论为指导,认为其属陆内碰撞造山带。 The ancient land in the south of the Yangtze occupies a very important position in the tectonic framework of the South China. Previous generations, guided by different theories of tectonics, have formed different understandings of the ancient land of southern China. It was first dominated by the trough-trough theory and was called the geosyncline fold belt. Later, it was dominated by plate tectonics and regarded as a continental-continent collision orogenic belt. Later, based on continental dynamics theory, it was considered as intracontinental Collision orogenic belt.
