Abstract: This paper summarizes main advances in the recent five years in the fields of petrology,geochemistry and geochronology on the Cenozoic volcanic rocks of China. The spatial and temporal distributions of Cenozoic volcanic rocks in eastern China and Tibetan Plateau are presented, including new geochronological and petrological data. Petrogenesis of the Cenozoic volcanic rocks and geodynamic processes in Eastern China and Tibetan Plateau are reviewed, involving,especially,the studies in the Tianchi volcano,Cenozoic basalts in the eastern China, geodynamic processes in the Tibetan Plateau,potassium-ultrapotassic volcanic rock, high-Mg potassic volcanic rocks. In the end,some problems in future studies on the Cenozoic volcanic rocks are put forward and made our suggestions.

Key words: Cenozoic volcanic rocks;spatial and temporal distribution;petrogenesis;geodynamic setting
