During the last 30 years in China, geological reference materials system is established, Xray fluorescence spectrometry technique is accepted as a leading method for the total analysis of rock and minerals, inductively coupled plasmaoptical emission spectrometry and inductively coupled plasmamass spectrometry become prevailing and pillar techniques for the present geological analysis, and geochemical exploration methods get mature. A review on these important achievements are provided in details in this paper, including new techniques for field analysis, noble metal element analysis, microtrace element analysis and study on distribution characteristics of elements, the application of Re/Os isotope geochronology, the formation of marine geochemical analysis method system and reference material system. Historical background, effect, influence and elicitation are also explained in this paper. In addition, the current hot topics and future development trends of geoanalysis in China are summarized and prospected.
