[Significance]A large number of carbonate deposits in the Phanerozoic record information about the evo-lution of the environment at that time,and they represented an important carbon sink for the Earth.Today's need for a"carbon neutral"condition has encouraged research into the development and evolution of the carbonate factory,and is an essential primary focus of contemporary carbonate studies.Carbonate factory research began later in China than in other countries;the main focus has been on the deposition and evolution of carbonate rocks.Studies of carbon-ate factory classification and research methods are still weak,and the understanding of the main causes of their ex-tinction is also limited.[Progress]This summary,based on the reports of a large number of studies,examines the re-search progress in classification schemes and research methods for recognizing the main influences on carbonate facto-ry development,and provides a reference to assist geologists'deeper understanding of the carbonate factory mecha-nism.[Conclusions and Prospects]It may be the development direction of carbonate factory research in the future to understand its operating mechanism,evolution process and main controlling factors from many aspects by using multi-disciplinary knowledge methods,so as to make the research conclusions more accurate and explore its biological and oceanographic significance.
