Abstract: Based on a large amount of data，we analyzed the results of recent studies on the Archean-Proterozoic boundary(A/P boundary), related tectono-magmatic events and discussed the significances of these studies Considering the current situation of study related to the A/P boundary in north China，we believe it is necessary to conduct a synthetic investigation on the tectonic setting，geochronology and sedimentary features in the metamorphic regions of the Wutai Mountain and Taihang Mountain A multidisciplinary study in the future using data from typical sections in these regions will provide important constrains for defining the A/P boundary in China.
