英文摘要	Phenological cold/warm events recorded in Chinese historical documents are used to reconstruct, at 10-30 years' resolution, winter half-year (October to April) temperatures for the past 2000 years in the central region of eastern China. Because of the uneven spatial and temporal distribution of the phenological records, the reconstruction of the regional mean temperature involves two steps: reconstruction for individual sites within the region and calculation of the regional mean. For a single site, the reconstruction involves: identifying the difference in dates in phenological events for both historical and modern records; establishing the conversion function between the date difference and temperature change from the modern records; and converting the historical records into temperature variation. The spatial representativeness of the individual sites is studied by examining the correlation between individual sites and regional mean temperature from modern instrumental data. The correlation is then used as the basis for constructing the regional mean winter half-year temperature for the past 2000 years. From the beginning of the Christian era, climate became cooler at a rate of 0.17degreesC per century, and around the ad 490s temperature reached about 1degreesC lower than that of the present ( the 1951 80 mean). Then, abruptly, temperature entered a warm epoch from the ad 570s to 1310s with a warming trend of 0.04degreesC per century; the peak warming was about 0.3-0.6degreesC higher than present for 30-year periods, but over 0.9degreesC warmer on a 10-year basis. After the ad 1310s, temperature decreased rapidly at a rate of 0.10degreesC per century; the mean temperatures of the four cold troughs were 0.6-0.9degreesC lower than the present, with the coldest value 1.1degreesC lower. Temperature has been rising rapidly during the twentieth century, especially for the period 1981-99, and the mean temperature is now 0.5degreesC higher than for 1951-80. The most interesting aspect over the past 2000 years has been the rapid transitions between cold and warm periods.
