High resolution climate reconstructions during the late Holocene, especially the past 2,000 years, can provide an opportunity to place the current global warming in a long-term context and help understand the annual to centennial scale climate dynamics, the interactions between nature and human beings and the potential future climate trends (IPCC, 2017). Many works have focused on the climate changes during this time interval, including the famous PAGES 2K Network since the 2008 (PAGES, 2017). The Asia-Pacific region is the most complicated area of the global climate system involving the interactions of several important climatic modes, such as the El Nino-Southern Oscillations (ENSO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), monsoon, and so on. The complex structure of the climatic system, coupled with dense population and strong human- nature interactions bring challenges to the understanding and prediction of regional climate changes.
