Former deputy director of Beijing Natural History Museum
Hsu (1910 08.22 - 1992 11.18) ancient botanist, botanists, scientists pollen. He is a Chinese study of fossil plants from a biological point of view of the first people, China has laid a fossil plant biology research. He is the ancient Chinese study of pollen-founder, personally trained the first batch of new China, the ancient palynology researchers. His North American plants disjunct East Asia and insights of science to answer the 140 years of plant geography in the unresolved issues. He demonstrated through the study of fossil plants of the era of the Tibetan Plateau uplift, the cause and extent. His "period of China's major regional geological landscape plants," a book created a landscape of ancient Chinese study of its kind. Resume August 22, 1910 was born in Wuhu, Anhui. 1929 admitted to Tsinghua University in Biology study. He graduated from Tsinghua University in 1933, received a bachelor's degree. 1933-1939, he served as Assistant Department of Biology, Peking University. 1939-1944 annual Ren Yunnan University lecturer and associate professor of biology. 1944-1946, he served as visiting professor at the Indian Institute of Lucknow University. 1946-1948 Associate Professor of Peking University. 1948-1952, he served as professor of Indian Institute of Botany. 1952-1954, he served as researcher at the Institute, Chinese Academy of paleontology. 1954-1962 years she served the Department of Geology and Mineral Resources Division of Geology Palynological Laboratory, Ministry of Geology Institute of Geology, palynology and paleobotany research director, Stratigraphy and Paleontology Research Office. Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1959 to create the ancient botany lab, office, research director. 1962-1992, he served as researcher at the Institute of Botany. In 1979 was elected chairman of the Chinese Society of pollen. Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980, was elected as academician (Academy), the same year, part-time deputy director of Beijing Natural History Museum. November 18, 1992 died in Beijing at the age of 82 years. Life events Hsu, word of this benevolence. August 22, 1910 was born in Wuhu, Anhui. Grandfather was the beginning of the Qing Dynasty bagong Xu, Jin Xu father had studied in Beijing University of Chinese political and economic system, after the Bank of China office in Beijing. Hsu childhood living with his grandfather in Jinan. 1918 with his father to Beijing. 1923 return to Anhui, Wuhu, a student at the church school. In 1925, his father died, the ailing family, uncle and friends to rely on funding to maintain life. In 1929, Xu was admitted to Tsinghua University with honors. In the botanist under the influence of Zhang Yue, Chairman, Department of Biology, he accepted Chen Zhen was proposed to study Biology, majoring in botany. In 1933 graduated with a bachelor's degree. In the same year, Department of Biology, Peking University Xu employed, any assistant. 1939 to Department of Biology, Yunnan University, served as lecturer, associate professor. In 1944, Southwest Associated University offers courses paleobotany, recommend by Zhang Yue, Xu decided to go to Glasgow University paleobotany. During the time when the Second World large, traffic disruption, did not take place. At this point, the ancient Indian Institute of Lucknow University botanist B. Thani (Sahni), Professor Hsu invited Visiting Professor to the University of Lucknow. The spring of 1944, Hsu began doing research at the University of Lucknow. He studied the Devonian plant from Yunnan, China, the Kashmir geology and stratigraphy were investigated, he also studied the g sharp A purple sandstone canyon in microfossils. Hsu body of ancient plants, the success of micro-studies made him an international study of microfossils on one of the pioneers. Lucknow University, 1946 Ph.D. awarded Xu Renzhe, Gold Medal awarded to him in recognition of his contribution to research in paleobotany. 1946, Hsu returned, he Department of Biology and Geology Department of Peking University, associate professor, teaches plant morphology, anatomy and paleobotany. In 1948, Al-Thani's invitation to be, Hsu went to India again, in the Al-Thani led the world's only research institute of ancient botanical work. In the meantime, Hsu visited Sweden and the UK, with world-renowned ancient botanist T. Halle (Halle) and TM Harris (Harris) for academic exchanges, explore the ancient botanical research methods, while a large collection of literature and information. In 1949, after the death of Al-Thani, Hsu served as associate professor of paleobotany Al-Thani and Acting Director, and chaired the "ancient botanist" ("Palaeobotanist") founding, editing and distribution. After returning in 1952 Xu, Nanjing Institute of Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (now the Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing) research fellow. Transferred to Beijing in 1954, she served as Secretary Ministry of Geology and Mineral Palynological Laboratory, Ministry of Geology Institute of Geology, palynology and paleobotany research director, Stratigraphy and Paleontology Research Office, and so on. In 1959, Hsu Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences to create the ancient Botany, and served as Research Director. Formally transferred to the Institute of Botany, 1962, in plant evolution, phylogeny and flora studies. CAS academician in 1980 was elected the same year part-time deputy director of Beijing Natural History Museum. Xu early studies of plant morphology and anatomy, and then from the perspective of fossil plant biology, outstanding achievements, outside the plant in China scholars, paleontology field and geological community enjoys a high reputation. He served as executive director of Chinese Botanical Society, Secretary General of Palaeontological Society of China, China Quaternary Research Committee Academic Committee, vice chairman of the Chinese Society of Museums, Botanical Society of ancient Chinese botany branch director of the China Society for pollen and paleontological China Branch honorary chairman of the Society of paleobotany. Internationally, he has been a member of Indian Botanical Society and honorary members. 1981 was elected the 13th International Botanical Congress Vice President, has visited the United Kingdom, Sweden, the United States, Canada and France and other countries, China's foreign partners and friends everywhere. For decades, Hsu studied botany, paleobotany, palynology, Quaternary geology and related fields involved in China's foreign academic journals published more than 70 articles, six monographs cooperation. The theory of botany and paleobotany made important contributions to the development in China, had a profound impact outside. Science The study of ancient pollen not only can solve a large fossil preservation of biological formations of the so-called era of dumb matter of comparison, and is investigating the oil and coal and other important mineral resources, to carry out the ancient environment and the paleoclimate research is the key means. Hsu is the creation of ancient Chinese people palynology. After returning to the 1950s, he worked in the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Institute of Geology Department of Geological Sciences and Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences to create a three palynology laboratory. Personally trained the first generation of new China, the ancient palynology researchers, basically meet the vigorous development of the early days of geology research needs. Pollen of these scholars has become China's research and teaching in the field of the core backbone, as well as related fields such as oil exploration and development of key technical staff. The three palynology palynology laboratory in the development process of China played an important leading role. In 1958, Hsu's "inference based on pollen assemblage Hunan Rucheng civilization Secretary red rocks of geological age" a text, is China's first pollen study based on the information to determine the stratigraphic age. Zhoukoudian in the 1960s to the fossil ape-man study of palynology, created a China based on palynological data of the environment and to restore the ancient precedent. 80 years of Chinese Pleistocene spruce - fir flora study, further research in the use of palynological data has made important progress in the ancient environment. In 1979, he became the Geological Society Xu, "Geology" and "Geological Review" editorial board members. In the same year, the advocacy and organization of Xu, the Chinese Society of birth pollen, so that China scholars have their own pollen national academic organization. Under the support of everyone, Hsu re-elected the first Chinese Society of pollen and second president. He is director of the International Society of pollen. _Select_ed Publications 1 Xu, North China pine leaf anatomy. Peking University Science Report, 1936,1 (2) :1-39 2 Xu.
