Abstract: The patterns of thime evolution and space distribtion of the Permian sequence stratigraphy in South China,which are recognized as in the paper by Wang et al.in this period of the journal,are well confined by the research on sequence fills of the eleven depositional sequences. It is proposed that two stages of depositional sequence fills can be classified,i.e.,(1)Fills by carbonate ramp and platform depositional sequences could have been undertaken during early Permian,into which sub fills could have been done by carbonate ramp and platform depositional sequences respectively.(2)Fills could have been completed by depositional sequences in dominant terrigenous clastics environments mixed by volcanic clastics during late Permian.It can be subclassified into two subdivisions as sediments with coal in wet climate in the Wujiaping Stage and as coarse clastics in extensional pull aparting faults during the Changxing Stage. It is supposed that the four type I sequence boundary surfaces in Permian could be directly relevant to the tectonic upwarding events.The basal boundary surface of the S 1 might have been controlled by the Yunnan Movement (or named of Guizhou Guangxi Movement) that had taken roles in the middle Yangtze Craton and on the western margin of the Cathayan Craton.The boundary surface of the S 6 might have been in fluenced by the first episode of the Dongwu Movement (also called Dachang Movement) which had acted similar areas as the S 1 The S 7 boundary surface had ever widespread related to the Dongwu Movement all over the South China during the gap between the Early and Upper Permian.And the boundary surface on the S 1 base might have been under impacts by the Guiyang Movement almost the yangtze Craton. One of the most characteristically depositional sequence fills is volcanic clastics in some horizons in the TST of late Permian,during which a few horizons of the transgressive systems tracts (TST) had ever been filled by volcanic clastics.There is a typical sequence pattern of sedimentary facies in the TST with volcanic clastics.It is common that the sequence from calsiclastic turbidite facies to volcanic turbidite facies,to marlstone facies in the TST.The other is the delta system along the margins of paleolands.Most of the delta systems constitute the high systems tracts (HST),and/or few shelf marginal systems tracts (SMT) or lowest systems tracts (LST). Reefal fills can be found in the upper and middle Yangtze Cratons and Youjiang Basin,and four types of reefal fills can be differentiated in the depositional sequence fills.They are TST type,HST type,LST type,and SMT type,in which TST type and HST type are predominant along the synsedimentologicall strike slip faults.Reefs in high abundance and diversity filled in the TSTs had been lived in deep water,mostly in slope,deep ramp,and/or inter platform.Reefs in the HSTs are of low abundance and diversity of species and community,and they had been lived in shallow sea such as carbonate platform,shore,shelf and isolated platform
