Historical research on geosciences development at the beginning of 1950s in China--Reflecting from Letters written by J.S.Lee(LI Siguang)to H.T.Chang(ZHANG Hongzhao)

章鸿钊、李四光二位大师,都是中国地学界举足轻重的人物。新中国建立初期,为更好地服务国家经济社会发展,以李四光为代表的老一辈地质人,推动了新中国地质事业的艰难起步。本文收录了这一时期李四光致章鸿钊的六通书札,略做考释,个别书札附有章鸿钊回函,其中一则为其回函时所书写的底稿/草稿,更为难得。内容主要涉及建国初期地质机构设置等,可为此一时期研究提供一手珍贵历史资料。

H.T.Chang(ZHANG Hongzhao)and J.S.Lee(LI Siguang)are both key people in the field of mordern geosciences in China.In order to boost economic and social development,the first generation of mordern geologists represented by J.S.Lee promoted the geosciences growth in new China(People’s Republic of China)from a difficult start.This article collects the 6 letters written by J.S.Lee to H.T.Chang during this period,with some textual research and brief explanations.A few letters are attached with H.T.Chang’s reply,and one of them is a draft which is even rarer.The contents are mainly related to the establishment of geological institutions at the beginning of new China,which can provide valuable historical information for the study of this period.
