The naming source of Danxia in China
In March 2009, the application materials of "China Danxia" passed the examination of UNESCO World Heritage Center, officially became a nomination project for "World Heritage Application" and won the "admission ticket" for the 20 10 World Heritage Conference.

The biggest difficulty in Danxia's application for World Heritage lies in: "Landform is a geographical and geological concept, but' Danxia Landform' is only named by China scholars and has not been recognized by international geosciences." The stratum where Danxia landform is located has been determined by international geosciences and is called "red stratum". Taking a noun that foreign scholars have never seen before to apply for a legacy is tantamount to asking for directions.

Promoting learning by applying for heritage is one of the achievements that China scholars hope to achieve. If Danxia landform can successfully apply for world heritage, it means that this concept has been recognized by the international geoscience community, which is a way for Danxia landform to go abroad. However, foreign experts believe that there is no shortcut to science, and it is only natural to establish the international academic status of Danxia landform by publishing papers in international authoritative journals, and then apply for world heritage with Danxia landform.

After discussion at the meeting, a compromise scheme was finally adopted, and the name of "Danxia Landform" in the application name was changed to "Danxia, China".
