Precipitation was the highest in the loess plateau during the Early Holocene 10–8 ka BP even to the period 10–3.0 ka BP in the Kesang cave stalagmite westward Tianshan, Xinjiang, based on large numbers of records from paleoclimatic proxies (An et al., 2000; Zhang Chengjun et al., 2009; Zhang Huirong et al., 2018). However, we discovered at first time that floodplain lake-eolian stratigraphical rhythm complex kept in the Lujiagou of Dingxi, Gansu, which was important geological proof to indicate a weak summer monsoon transition period during the Early Holocene in the Chinese Loess Plateau.
