Abstract: Great efforts were made by the author to make exhortation to transform descriptive climatology into quantitative one during the last 40 years. Since the scope of climatology has greatly incre ased, and a different approach of causes of the climate is directly or indirectly linked with others, "astro-geo-bioclimatology" has recently proposed by the author in order to understand the extraordinarily complicated processes of climatic causes and changes In truth, during the process of reviewing the progress of climatology in China r it has been found out that accomplishments of the science of climatology have been proved to be the preliminary phase of "astro-geo-bioclimatology" In China the development of the science of climatology is here summarized by 6 parts, climatic creation, climatic modelling analysis, climatic changes and prediction, microclimatology, regional climate and applied climate.So far as the problem of causes of the climate is concerned, the author gives closer analyses for advances in astroclimatology, geoclimatology and bioclimatology it being understood that "astro-geo-bioclimatology" has been developing in China.The emphasis is laid on summarizing developments with respect to climate gimodels, including statistic and dynamic models, models of radiation-thermo-hydrologic budget, and contour models in weather maps, advances in these fields being of great value to research of regional climateIn connection with the methods of climate prediction, climatic changes in the geological, historical and presnt time are abstracted from a number of papers in the appropriate fiele of sciences.Microclimatic advances have been drawn from every scope of this field, especially from the local climate modelling, but the nonlinear dynamics is required in further research of the microclimate modelling as suggested by the author.The advances both in regional climate and in applied climate are also summarized, the whole of which should be contributed to improving geographic climatology. Besides, the author suggests that a new method of the climatic classification must be put forward and climatic studies for every climatic type must be practised, though applied climatic classifications are often desired with a view to their eventual uses.
