塔里木盆地西部四十厂剖面志留系柯坪塔格组沥青砂岩沉积特征

塔里木盆地西部四十厂剖面志留系柯坪塔格组上部发育典型的沥青砂岩,分别位于若干个正韵律沉积旋回的中下部。通过典型露头剖面写实、沉积物粒度分析、矿物镜下鉴定、铸体薄片鉴定和X衍射等手段,对该剖面沥青砂岩进行了精细研究,发现沥青砂岩形成于潮坪沉积体系中潮间带下部的砂坪或混合坪内,岩性以细砂岩和粉砂岩为主,发育典型的双向交错层理和浅水动物遗迹等;其沉积物以跳跃搬运为主,受潮汐改造作用明显;碎屑矿物以石英或生物碎屑为主,含少量长石和粘土矿物。结合储层物性测试对沥青砂岩储集性进行了分析,结果表明,优质沥青砂岩储层往往是中等成分成熟度的长石石英砂岩,其内部长石含量在5%~10%之间,石英含量在75%~83%之间,其次是较高成分成熟度的石英砂岩,其内部长石含量一般在2%左右,石英含量在90%以上,较差的是含大量生物碎屑的砂岩,其内部生屑含量在60%左右,石英含量在35%左右。这对该区志留系沥青砂岩储层评价具有一定的借鉴意义。     

自生伊利石40Ar-39Ar法年代学实验过程中一些重要环节的探讨

自生伊利石^40Ar-^39Ar年代学在油气勘探及其他领域具有重要意义,但由于自生伊利石晶体结构的特殊性,使这一方法从样品处理到数据解释都有一些需要探讨的问题。自生伊利石提纯方法主要由冷冻-加热碎样结合高速离心完成。样品粒度愈细,样品纯度愈大,结晶度愈差。通过X射线衍射可以获得样品纯度、结晶度方面的信息,用TEM可以获得XRD检测限（5％）以下的样品纯度信息。样品^39Ar核反冲丢失与样品中晶体的结晶度（2θ）、晶体沿c轴方向的层厚相关;真空包裹技术可以较合理地降低核反冲丢失,得到细粒样品有意义的年龄。真空包裹的细粒样品的“保留年龄”有重要的地质意义。     

Timing and Processes of Ore Formation in the Qingchengzi Polymetallic Orefield, Northeast China: Evidence from 40Ar/39Ar Geochronology

The Qingchengzi orefield is a large polymetallic ore concentration area in the Liaodong peninsula,northeastern China,that includes twelve Pb-Zn deposits and five Au-Ag deposits along its periphery.The ore-forming age remains much disputed,which prevents the identification of the relationship between the mineralization and the associated magmatism.In this paper,we quantitatively present the feasibility of making ore mineral ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar dating and report reliable ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar ages of lamprophyre groundmass,K-feldspar and sphalerite from the Zhenzigou deposit.Direct and indirect methods are applied to constrain the timing of mineralization,which plays a vital role in discussing the contribution of multistage magmatism to ore formation.The low-potassium sphalerite yielded an inverse isochron age of 232.8±41.5 Ma,which features a relatively large uncertainty.Two lamprophyre groundmasses got reliable inverse isochron ages of 193.2±1.3 Ma and 152.3±1.5 Ma,respectively.K-feldspar yielded a precise inverse isochron age of 134.9±0.9 Ma.These four ages indicate that the mineralization is closely associated with Mesozoic magmatism.Consequently,regarding the cooling age of the earliest Mesozoic Shuangdinggou intrusion(224.2±1.2 Ma)as the initial time of mineralization,we can further constrain the age of the sphalerite to 224–191 Ma.These new and existing geochronological data,combined with the interaction cutting or symbiotic relationship between the lamprophyre veins and ore veins,suggest that the Pb-Zn-Au-Ag mineralization in the Qingchengzi orefield mainly occurred during three periods:the late Triassic(ca.224–193 Ma),the late Jurassic(ca.167–152 Ma)and the early Cretaceous(ca.138–134 Ma).This polymetallic deposits are shown to have been formed during multiple events coinciding with periods of the Mesozoic magmatic activity.In contrast,the Proterozoic magmatism and submarine exhalative and hydrothermal sedimentation in the Liaolaomo paleorift served mainly to transport and concentrate the ore-forming substances at the Liaohe Group with no associated Pb-Zn-Au-Ag mineralization.     

自生伊利石40Ar/39Ar法定年技术及气藏成藏期的确定

为了确定天然气藏的成藏期,进行了自生伊利石的^40Ar／^39Ar法同位素定年实验．实验重点解决了自生伊利石的^40Ar／^39Ar法定年的几个技术难题：第一,粘土矿物的提纯,避免伊利石以外的含K矿物混入;第二,自生伊利石与碎屑伊利石的分离;第三,克服核反冲造成的Ar原子丢失．利用冷冻一加热循环碎样技术获得高纯度的粘土矿物;通过阶段加热得到的年龄谱可以区分自生伊利石与碎屑伊利石;利用“显微包裹”技术有效克服了核照射反冲问题．对鄂尔多斯盆地北部苏里格气田研究发现。二叠系储层中的伊利石有2种年龄图谱：一种只有自生伊利石的坪年龄;另一种图谱既有自生伊利石的坪年龄,也有碎屑伊利石的年龄,形成二阶式的图谱．通过自生伊利石的形成时间推断,天然气的最早充注时间晚于169～189Ma．实验的结果表明,冷冻加热循环碎样技术可以有效地避免伊利石以外的含K矿物混入．是获得高纯度粘土矿物的关键技术;自生伊利石^40Ar／^39Ar法定年技术可以用于确定天然气藏的成藏期.     

Neoproterozoic-Paleozoic Tectonic Evolution of the Northeastern Tarim Block: Constraints from 40Ar/39Ar Geochronology in the Kuluketage Area, NW China

Seventeen new 40Ar/39Ar analyses reported for ten Tarim Precambrian basement samples from the Kuluketage area, are applied to reconstruct the regional thermo-tectonic history together with previously published data. Eight samples were taken adjacent to the Xingdi and Xinger faults, major structures in the study area, whereas a further two were sampled at some distance from the faults. 40Ar/39Ar data from the latter record rapid cooling following a Neoproterozoic magmatic/metamorphic event and mild Paleozoic thermal disturbance. Paleozoic 40Ar/39Ar ages from the study area, as well as from the Central Tianshan and eastern Southern Tianshan suggest two strong deformational periods at ~390 Ma and ~300 Ma. During the older period, argon isotopic systems were reset/disturbed by high temperature related to arc magmatism resulting from subduction of the South Tianshan paleo-oceanic crust, possibly in combination with reactivation of Precambrian faults. The younger period is characterized by widespread late Carboniferous-early Permian intracontinental deformation, which is related to the final amalgamation of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. Previously published apatite fission track data attest to a long history of post-collisional cooling, which is attributed to continued propagation of deformation within the Central Asian Orogenic Belt.     

风化壳40Ar/39Ar年代学研究意义：进展、问题与展望

风化壳是不同地质历史时期风化作用的环境和物质记录,其组成、厚度、成熟度、保存程度等是古气候条件、区域构造活动性及地貌演化的直接反映。风化壳的形成年代是风化壳研究的关键内容,精确的风化壳年龄数据是查明一系列区域甚至全球事件的重要途径。风化壳中次生矿物（主要是钡硬锰矿族矿物和明矾石族矿物）的40Ar/39Ar年代学研究首次实现了对风化壳和风化作用的直接和精确定年,所获得的年龄数据为风化壳的形成演化、区域古气候古环境恢复、化学风化历史与矿床次生富集过程及新构造运动和山脉隆升历史等一系列重大地质问题的解决提供了重要途径。然而,风化壳中次生矿物定年存在的潜在问题及风化壳剖面取样的不完整性,有可能使风化壳的年龄分布变得相当复杂,导致对化学风化历史、风化壳形成过程和形成环境等的认识出现困难。为此,必须开展对风化壳的详细野外地质研究和精细取样,并综合采用多种先进测试手段,才能获得可靠的风化壳年龄数据。在对风化壳年龄数据进行解释时,还需要系统分析多种地质、环境资料（如古生物、盆地沉积物等）,才可能获得有意义的地貌、构造和古气候信息。我国华南地区广泛分布的红色风化壳中含有丰富的钡硬锰矿族矿物,是研究该区新生代以来化学风化、大规模次生富集成矿及古气候古环境演变的理想对象。     

利用自生伊利石激光加热~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar定年技术探讨惠州凹陷新近系油气充注时间

油气成藏年代学是新兴的学科发展方向。烃类充注之后,砂岩储层中自生伊利石停止生长,故可利用自生伊利石的年龄来推断储集层中油气藏形成的最老年龄。砂岩样品中存在的有机质在质谱仪离子源中产生的覆盖40Ar峰的有机碎片离子m/e36-m/e40将导致错误的同位素分析和年龄谱结果。经预处理后的伊利石样品加热后在质谱仪离子源中确实产生了有机碎片离子m/e36-m/e44,为获得可靠的分析结果,必须完全清除有机杂质气体。在攻克了有机杂质气体纯化技术之后,笔者开展了珠江口盆地惠州凹陷内3个富油气二级构造带油气藏砂岩自生伊利石40Ar-39Ar法定年研究,采取样品清洗、循环冷冻—加热法破碎样品、经苯-甲醇混合试剂洗油、采用离心机分离粘土矿物。自生伊利石激光阶段加热40Ar-39Ar定年最初低温阶段综合年龄结果表明,惠州凹陷珠海组和珠江组自生伊利石加权平均年龄分别为(12.1±1.1)Ma和(9.9±1.2)Ma,惠州凹陷新近系油气成藏关键时间为10Ma左右。结合该区断裂发育史、油气成藏组合和流体包裹体均一化温度等资料进一步分析认为,中中新世末—晚中新世末的晚期断层活化加强了新近系油气的成藏。     

砂岩储层自生伊利石40Ar-39Ar定年技术及油气成藏年龄探讨

油气成藏年龄是石油地质学和同位素年代学共同面临的科学难题之一。本文探讨砂岩储层自生伊利石40Ar-39Ar阶段加热技术获得油气成藏年龄的可能性。样品采自南海珠江口盆地第三纪珠海组砂岩储层,采用冷冻加热循环技术缓慢碎裂样品,以减少碎屑长石混入量。释出气体首先经过专门研制的纯化装置,有效地除弃有机杂质气体,然后经过2个NP10Zr/Al泵进一步纯化。06ZJ26I伊利石40Ar-39Ar激光阶段加热分析获得了阶梯状上升的年龄谱。开始3个最低激光能量阶段加权平均年龄(12.1±2.2)Ma(2σ)解释为自生伊利石的最小年龄,可能代表了油气成藏的最大年龄;而较高激光能量阶段坪年龄(98.0±0.9)Ma则代表了砂岩中陆源碎屑长石的年龄。与传统K-Ar法相比,40Ar-39Ar法可以揭示伊利石样品更多的年代学信息。     

新疆阿尔泰萨尔朔克金多金属矿区岩浆活动—剪切变形时限——锆石U-Pb和绢云母~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar测年证据

萨尔朔克金多金属矿位于新疆阿尔泰南缘阿舍勒盆地,矿体赋存于沿火山通道充填的潜火山岩(流纹斑岩)中,矿化类型较为多样,主要呈浸染状、脉状和细脉状产出,矿床的形成与潜火山热液密切相关。该矿区外围广泛发育无明显矿化的流纹斑岩,且普遍发育韧性剪切变形现象,流纹斑岩和韧性剪切变形的时限都不明确,严重制约着外围找矿勘查工作的进展。本文在详细的野外地质调查和室内镜下鉴定的基础上,应用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb和绢云母~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar测年方法对外围的流纹斑岩和韧性剪切带中的糜棱岩进行了年代学研究。获得无明显矿化的流纹斑岩的年龄为371.3±1.2 Ma,结合课题组对矿化流纹斑岩的年代学研究成果,表明流纹斑岩形成于382~371 Ma之间,但主成矿作用只发生在中泥盆世晚期,371 Ma可能代表了阿舍勒组最晚期岩浆侵入活动事件,但没有伴随矿化作用。绢云母在糜棱岩中沿剪切面理分布,属于韧性剪切变形的新生矿物,其坪年龄为254.4±1.8 Ma,与等时线年龄(254.0±3.7 Ma)在误差范围内一致,代表了新生绢云母的形成年龄,暗示该韧性剪切带形成时间为晚二叠世末期,为额尔齐斯区域大规模剪切—走滑活动之后的局部剪切活动;该韧性剪切作用只对矿化进行了改造,并没有富集成矿。     

Detrital K‐feldspar 40Ar/39Ar Ages: Source Constraints of the Lower Miocene Sandstones in the Pearl River Mouth Basin,South China Sea

The South China Sea began to outspread in the Oligocene. A great quantity of terraneous detritus was deposited in the northern continental shelf of the sea, mostly in Pearl River Mouth Basin, which constituted the main paleo-Pearl River Delta. The delta developed for a long geological time and formed a superimposed area. Almost all the oil and gas fields of detrital rock reservoir distribute in this delta. Thirty-three oil sandstone core samples in the Zhujiang Formation, lower Miocene (23–16 Ma), were collected from nine wells. The illite samples with detrital K feldspar (Kfs) separated from these sandstone cores in four sub-structural belts were analysed by the high-precision 40Ar/39Ar laser stepwise heating technique. All 33 illite 40Ar/39Ar data consistently yielded gradually rising age spectra at the low-temperature steps until reaching age plateaus at mid-high temperature steps. The youngest ages corresponding to the beginning steps were interpreted as the hydrocarbon accumulation ages and the plateau ages in mid-high temperature steps as the contributions of the detrital feldspar representing the ages of the granitic parent rocks in the provenances. The ages of the detrital feldspar from the Zhujiang Formation in the four sub-structural belts were different: (1) the late Cretaceous ages in the Lufeng 13 fault structural belt; (2) the late Cretaceous and early Cretaceous-Jurassic ages in the Huizhou 21 buried hill-fault belt; (3) the Jurassic and Triassic ages in the Xijiang 24 buried hill-fault belt; and (4) the early Cretaceous – late Jurassic ages in the Panyu 4 oil area. These detrital feldspar 40Ar/39Ar ages become younger and younger from west to east, corresponding to the age distribution of the granites in the adjacent Guangdong Province, Southern China.     

藏北羌塘戈木错北部新生代钾质火山岩40Ar/39Ar定年

1∶25万玛依岗日幅区域地质调查期间,在藏北戈木错北部发现了一套新生代钾质火山岩。对保存较好的3处火山岩的样品进行40Ar/39Ar年代学研究,获得了30.6Ma±0.4Ma、30.0Ma±0.2Ma和29.8Ma±0.3Ma三个坪年龄,代表该地区火山岩的喷溢时代。戈木错北部火山岩的地球化学特征与钾质火山岩的类似,它与鱼鳞山、走构由茶错、多格错仁等地区的新生代火山岩共同构成了羌塘地区钾质—超钾质火山岩带,它们的形成与印度大陆同亚洲大陆的碰撞和青藏高原的隆升密不可分。     

北山地区花岗岩类的^40Ar／^39Ar同位素年代学研究

首次对北山地区的乌珠尔嘎顺、额勒根、雀儿山、黑鹰山、狼娃山、明水和石板井等花岗岩体开展了高精度40Ar/39Ar同位素年代测定,共分析了10件样品,其中有6件获得了比较可靠的40Ar/39Ar同位素年龄数据,基本能够代表岩体的侵位年龄,分别为352.3±3.8Ma、271.76±0.88Ma、286.2±3.4Ma、272.0±4.7Ma、294.1±2.9Ma和255.2±4.1Ma;其他4件样品尽管受后期热扰动较为强烈,但是也能够获得一些有价值的年龄信息.另外,受后期构造-热事件的影响,本文有6件样品发生了不同程度的Ar丢失,其中样品NSS01-13钾长石Ar丢失最为严重,不能获得可靠的年龄,其他样品发生Ar丢失的时间主要集中在燕山期,少量在印支期.获得的这些40Ar/39Ar测年数据与已经发表的其他40Ar/39Ar测年数据记录下了北山地区多期次的构造-岩浆侵入活动事件.根据这些年龄数据,可以将北山地区自海西中期以来的岩浆活动归纳为5个阶段,分别是①330～360Ma,海西中期花岗岩类侵入活动;②270～310Ma,与西伯利亚、哈萨克斯坦和塔里木三大板块碰撞的时间同期或稍晚的花岗岩类侵入活动;③250～270Ma,明显晚于主碰撞发生的时间,为海西晚期碰撞后花岗岩类侵入活动;④210～250Ma,印支期构造-岩浆活动;⑤169～195Ma,燕山早期岩浆活动.其中270～310Ma同碰撞期花岗岩类最为发育,分布范围最广.尽管北山地区从前寒武纪到燕山期花岗岩类均有产出,但是规模最大、影响范围最广的岩浆侵入活动发生在海西晚期,反映了海西晚期西伯利亚、哈萨克斯坦和塔里木三大板块碰撞对接的构造事件.印支期和燕山期花岗岩类可能是在统一大陆形成之后由陆内强烈活化形成的.北山地区花岗岩类的高精度年代学测量可以构筑本区花岗岩类时空演化的精细格架,对于重塑本区大地构造演化历史、指导区域金属矿床的寻找具有重要的意义.     

塔里木盆地哈得4油田成藏年代学研究

哈得4油田是近年来在满加尔凹陷北部发现的第一个海相油田，一直被认为是喜山期形成的油藏。然而，根据包裹体测温、伊利石K／Ar同位素测年以及油气水界面追溯等多种方法对其成藏年代重新研究表明，该油田主力油藏石碳系CⅢ油藏主杰晚海西期形成的古油藏，C5薄砂层油藏则可能为喜山期由CⅢ油藏垂向调整形成的次生油藏。     

黑龙江省鸡西盆地基性岩40Ar/39Ar同位素定年及其地质意义

黑龙江省鸡西盆地张新地区辉绿玢岩呈岩床状侵入晚中生代城子河组地层中;辉绿玢岩较纯净,无捕虏体,呈斑状结构,斑晶由普通辉石、斜长石组成,斑晶体积分数为35%～40%;基质由微晶斜长石、辉石、磁铁矿及玻璃质组成。辉绿玢岩⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar同位素定年结果表明,其等时线年龄与坪年龄在误差范围内较为接近,该辉绿玢岩的形成时代介于96～101 Ma,即形成于早白垩世晚期-晚白垩世早期的Albian-Cenomanian阶。结合区域上该期岩浆事件的特点,暗示早白垩世晚期-晚白垩世时期鸡西盆地处于古太平洋板块(Izanagi-Kula 板块 )向东亚大陆边缘斜向俯冲背景之下的弧后伸展环境。

藏北羌塘戈木错北部新生代钾质火山岩40Ar/39Ar定年

1∶25万玛依岗日幅区域地质调查期间,在藏北戈木错北部发现了一套新生代钾质火山岩。对保存较好的3处火山岩的样品进行40Ar/39Ar年代学研究,获得了30.6Ma±0.4Ma、30.0Ma±0.2Ma和29.8Ma±0.3Ma三个坪年龄,代表该地区火山岩的喷溢时代。戈木错北部火山岩的地球化学特征与钾质火山岩的类似,它与鱼鳞山、走构由茶错、多格错仁等地区的新生代火山岩共同构成了羌塘地区钾质—超钾质火山岩带,它们的形成与印度大陆同亚洲大陆的碰撞和青藏高原的隆升密不可分。     

华南氧化锰矿晚新生代大规模成矿

氧化锰矿是我国仅次于沉积型碳酸锰矿的重要锰矿床类型,主要分布在广西、湖南、广东和福建等南方省区,但由于定年手段的限制,迄今对我国氧化锰矿形成时代的了解还极其有限.作者近几年利用激光阶段加热40Ar/39Ar同位素分析技术对华南地区典型氧化锰矿进行了系统和精确的年龄测定,获得了一大批可靠的成矿年龄,年龄值介于23.64 ± 0.29 Ma和0.48 ± 0.17 Ma (2σ),表明华南氧化锰矿的大规模成矿至少在渐新世末-中新世初就已开始并一直持续到更新世末期.基于多数氧化锰矿的上部矿石已被剥蚀或开采殆尽这一事实,可将华南氧化锰矿的成矿时间上溯到渐新世早期甚至始新世末期.研究发现,氧化锰矿的保存程度和年龄分布明显受新构造运动的影响;如果剔除后期剥蚀程度和采样系统性的影响,可以认为华南氧化锰矿的形成在区域上具有同时性.本次研究还说明,次生氧化锰矿的成矿是一个极其漫长的过程,形成一个具有工业意义的氧化锰矿可能需要上千万年的时间;这明显有别于多数内生热液矿床的成矿.本项研究为我国氧化锰矿以及其他类型的风化矿床(如红土型金矿和红土型镍矿)的年代学研究提供了新的思路和途径.     

Initial Characterisation of SK01 Sanidine: A Candidate 40Ar/39Ar Reference Material

The precision and accuracy of ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dates are ultimately linked to co-irradiated reference materials of known age. Here we provide new data from the SK01 sanidine, which was analysed in three different laboratories to evaluate it as a ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar reference material. Aliquots of 5 mg, incrementally heated in two laboratories, yielded indistinguishable results with a weighted mean age of 27.58 ± 0.06 Ma (95% confidence level). Single-crystal step heating and single-crystal total fusion analyses of SK01 sanidine were undertaken in the third laboratory to further test the intracrystalline homogeneity. For the seven step-heating analyses, six crystals yielded nearly concordant age spectra with ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages ranging from 26.853 ± 0.094 Ma to 26.963 ± 0.067 Ma, whereas one crystal gave an older age of 27.774 ± 0.071 Ma with a slightly discordant age spectrum. Twenty-three single-crystal total fusion analyses yielded ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages ranging from 27.070 ± 0.108 Ma to 27.736 ± 0.062 Ma with a dispersion of ~ 3.8%. The older ages from single-crystal total fusion dates are interpreted to reflect an inherited or excess argon component in some crystals. This is an initial characterisation of the SK01 sanidine, and additional work needs to be conducted to further evaluate the age dispersion so that it can be utilised as a ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar reference material.     

40Ar/39Ar Thermochronological Constraints on the Timing of Collisional Orogeny in the Mian-Lüe Collision Belt,Southern Qinling Mountains

Silurian, Devonian and Carboniferous geological bodies in the Mianxian-Lüeyang (Mian-Lüe) collisional belt (MLB) and its neighbouring areas, southern Qinling Mountains, China, show similar characteristics of having undergone deformation of two stages. The earlier one, which is inferred to be related to collisional orogeny between the Yangtze and Sino-Korean palaeocontinents based on previous geological data, is responsible for large-scale, north-verging recumbent folds and overthrusts, and associated with low greenschist facies metamorphism. 40Ar/39Ar dating of three muscovite samples taken from different localities yields plateau ages of 226.9(0.9 and 219.5(1.4 Ma and an apparent age of 194.5(3.0 Ma. Thus, the late Triassic collision between the Yangtze and Sino-Korean palaeocontinents has been constrained.     

辽西义县组火山岩40Ar/39Ar、K-Ar法年龄测定

义县组为辽西地区广泛分布的陆相火山-沉积地层,义县火山旋回分为 4个亚旋回.含珍稀化石的湖相沉积层与第二亚旋回火山岩伴生.运用激光微区 40Ar/39Ar法、常规 40Ar/39Ar阶段升温测年法和 K- Ar法,对义县旋回火山岩进行了系统的年龄测定,结果表明,直接覆盖义县组底砾岩的义县旋回第一亚旋回第一小旋回玄武岩的 K- Ar年龄为 (133.3± 2.6) Ma、 (133.6± 2.6) Ma,激光微区 40Ar/39Ar法给出的相关性很好的 Ar- Ar等时线年龄为 (132.9± 4.5) Ma,第三、第四小旋回玄武岩样品 40Ar/39Ar阶段升温获得平坦的年龄谱线,坪年龄分别为 (130.6± 0.5) Ma、 (127.7± 0.2) Ma;第二亚旋回玄武岩和流纹质凝灰岩样品 Ar- Ar等时线年龄为 (126.1± 1.7) Ma、 (127.4± 1.3) Ma,第三亚旋回火山岩全岩 K- Ar年龄为 (124.4± 2.4)～ (124.9± 2.4) Ma.义县火山旋回发生的时间大致介于 120～ 135 Ma之间, 义县组的时代应为早白垩世.
