Unfortunately, this part is not much. The reason is also very simple. Before 1990s, the university education in China was not on the right track. Astronomy education was far behind the world before 2000. Take the 20th century as an example. Whether it was the breakthrough of extragalactic astronomy in 1930s, the four major astronomical discoveries in 1960s, the golden age of black hole research or the great development of cosmology in 1980s and 1990s, the astronomical research in China was almost at a standstill in the same period. There are some highlights that have important influence in the world, such as the research of Academician Ai Guoxiang and others in the solar magnetic field, and the research of Academician Chen Jiansheng in the search for high redshift quasars. But in general, there is a lack of experts who can lead a certain research field.
90 years later, China began to import a large number of returned overseas talents and build large-scale equipment. Today, the level of astronomy education in China is close to the international level (of course, there is still a gap compared with world-class universities). Many researchers have occupied the forefront of related fields, such as the contribution to the theoretical model of gamma-ray bursts, Peng's work on the formation and numerical simulation of the cosmic structure, and Yuan Feng's research on the accretion disk model of black holes.
