中国蓝片岩主要分布于３个构造位置：环太平洋带、阿尔卑斯—喜马拉雅造山带、大陆内部褶皱带（包括中国陆台北缘蓝片岩带、华中蓝片岩带）。蓝片岩的成因与大陆增生及碰撞有关。中国蓝片岩年龄一般老于大陆碰撞年龄，这暗示着陆－陆碰撞可能是蓝片岩成因及抬升的主要机制 The blue rocks in China are mainly distributed in three tectonic positions: the Pacific Rim, the Alps-Himalaya orogen, and the continental fold belt (including the blue schist belt in the northern margin of China’s Lutai Formation and the central China lithofacies belt). The origin of the blue schist is related to the proliferation and collision in the mainland. The age of bluestone in China is generally older than the continental collision age, which implies that the continental-continental collision may be the main mechanism of the blue schist and its uplift
