    Looss-Paleosols are regarded as one of the indictors of paleoclimate. In this paper we reported the structural, grain-size characteristics of the Loess-Paleosols of Xingang Section, located in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province. Combined with the OSL chronology data, the paleoclimate implications were extracted. The results show that the structural, grain-size characteristics of the Loess-Paleosols of Xingang Section correspond well with the Loess-Paleosols in Chinese Loess Plateau. The Optically Simulated Luminescene (OSL) dating at the bottom is 79.83 Ka, which means the Loess-Paleosols were formed at the beginning of the Last Glacial period. The ages of the paleosols are 84.84-101.4 Ka, which indicates the paleosols were formed under the relatively warm and wet environment between the end of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. Characteristics of the Loess-Paleosols were the reflection of the winter monsoon and hydrothermal conditions of the middle Yangtze River during the last glacial and interglacial period.
