The lithospheric thicknesses of the South China vary from 60 km to 145 km except Shaoyang, Shibing and Jieyang sites. Our results show that the lithosphere of the South China is thinner in the south and north regions, and thicker in the middle region; while the lithosphere of the South China is unevenly reformed in the east region. The results in present study are different from that of the previously published literatures, in most of which indicated that the significant characteristic of the lithospheric thickness of the South China is thinning from west to east. Our results support that the lithosphere of the South China is mechanically strong and hence stable. The tectonic extension occurred since the Late Mesozoic may limitedly reform the lithosphere of the South China, and the most possible reforming mechanism is by hot asthenospheric materials diapiring and underplating.
