%J 科学通报(英文版) %D 2010 %I %X The causal correlation or linkage between the East Asian Monsoon (EAM) intensity and rise/fall of Chinese dynasties recently proposed by high-resolution paleoclimate reconstructions is examined in detail. Aside from many exceptions to the correlation, both instrumental and historical climate records show strong spatial variations of rainfall on annual-to-decadal scales over eastern China. The relationship between rainfall and EAM intensity also exhibits regional disparity. These observations suggest: (1) Ta... %K east Asian monsoon %K stalagmite &delta %K 18O record %K rainfall records %K Chinese dynasties changes %K historic climates
