He studies agricultural geography from the perspective of land use. His three bachelor's, master's and doctoral dissertations, namely, China Grain Geography, Weiyuan Mountain Land Use and China Rice Economy, all belong to these two categories. In the early 1950s, he investigated the land use in Nanjing and compiled the first large-scale color land use map of China. Subsequently, he participated in the comprehensive survey of Heilongjiang River Basin and conducted land use research in the northeast of China. In the 1960s, he engaged in a series of work centered on the agricultural field. In the early 1970s, he made a survey of wasteland resources suitable for agriculture in Daxing 'anling region, and also made a typical survey of agricultural production in southeast, northwest and southwest provinces. Subsequently, he undertook the key task of the national science and technology development plan 108. During this period, he was responsible for designing and organizing the 7.55 million-word China Agricultural Geography Series, which has been translated into English by the Library of Congress. He edited the main volume of this series, General Theory of Agricultural Geography in China, and comprehensively analyzed and theoretically summarized the development conditions, characteristics, level, potential and regional differences of agricultural production in China. Among them, Demonstration of Construction and Comprehensive Development of Commodity Grain Bases in Mountainous Areas has been adopted by the Ministry of Production. This achievement laid a foundation for the national agricultural regionalization work presided over by the National Agricultural Regionalization Committee. In the early 1980s, entrusted by China Academy of Sciences, Wu Chuanjun presided over the national key project of 1∶ 1 10,000 land use mapping. The Land Use Map of China 1 ∶ 1 10,000 compiled by him is the world's first national-level small-scale land use atlas compiled by 300 people in 4 1 unit nationwide. In this atlas, he creatively designed 66 types of methods to express three levels with background colors, lines, symbols and notes, which made the atlas intuitively reflect the regional differences and distribution laws of land use in China, surpassed the land use classification and mapping levels of the United States, Britain, Japan and the Soviet Union, and took the international leading position in design level, classification system and map load, and became China's land and resources management and agricultural development planning. At the same time, under his leadership, 1: 1 10,000 land use mapping specification has become a guide for compiling land use maps and conducting national land use research.
Wu Chuanjun's research is constantly innovating in economic geography, opening up a new field of land consolidation research. His research is not limited to agricultural geography, but conforms to the situation and tasks of each stage of national economic development to determine the research direction of each stage, facing the whole economic geography. In the early 1950s, it undertook the route selection survey of Baotou-Yinchuan-Lanzhou economy and the planning of the Yellow River Basin of the Ministry of Railways. From the mid-1950s to the early 1960s, he cooperated with the Sino-Soviet Academy of Sciences and participated in the comprehensive investigation of Heilongjiang River Basin, industrial layout in North China and industrial water survey. In the 1990s, although he was over 70 years old, he was still presiding over the research of the natural science fund project "Theory and Practice of Economic Geography in China". Wu Chuanjun has published more than 60 works/kloc-0 in domestic and foreign journals. Awarded the "Zhou Peiyuan International Science and Technology Exchange Award" by China Association for Science and Technology. Participated in the compilation of China Coastal Zone and Coastal Zone Land Resources Survey Report and People's Republic of China (PRC) National Agricultural Atlas, and won the first prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award. Introduction to Agricultural Geography in China,1:100000 Atlas of Land Use in China and Land Use in China won the first prize of scientific and technological progress of China Academy of Sciences. Monographs such as Land Development, Consolidation and Planning and Economic Geography of China put forward systematic theories and methods for land research and planning.
After Wu Chuanjun returned to China in his early years, he was hired by Professor Lin Chao, director of Nanjing China Institute of Geography. 1953, this institute was reorganized into the Institute of Geography of China Academy of Sciences, and 1958 moved from Nanjing to Beijing. Wu Chuanjun used to be a researcher and deputy director of the Institute, chairman, vice-chairman and secretary-general of national societies such as China Geographical Society and China Ecological Economics Society, researcher and professor of geography departments of some brothers' institutes and universities, and consultant, editor and editor of seven national academic journals such as Journal of Geography. And the editorial board of three foreign academic journals, such as The Geographer of China, the research coordinator of the United Nations University, and the vice chairman of the International Geographical Union.
As a scientist, Wu Chuanjun has lofty ideological character. Although he is in a high position and has made great achievements, he is open-minded, never arrogant and deeply respected and loved by his peers. With his noble moral character, Mr. Wu has cultivated and condensed a large number of scientific talents and disciplines that carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future. In his later years, Mr. Wu was still concerned about the development of geography and the growth of geographical talents, and enthusiastically participated in various academic activities.
