Termination II (T-II) (approximately 136-129 ka BP) is associated with a relatively large increase in Northern Hemisphere Summer Insolation (NHSI) (Berger, 1978), culminating in an interglacial when the global mean temperature was warmer, sea level was higher, and ice sheets were less extensive than today (Clark & Huybers, 2009;Dutton et al., 2015;Otto-Bliesner et al., 2013). Although numerous speleothem and loess records from China have been used to uncover the development of East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM) during T-II (Cheng et al., 2009;Duan et al., 2019;Thomas et al., 2016), the timing and magnitude of T-II warming over East Asia as well as the phase relationship between temperature and monsoon, are poorly understood given the lack of paleotemperature proxies. Temperature changes during T-II including amplitude and trend are discrepant between the limited temperature estimates deduced from soil bacterial lipid of loess in the Chinese loess plateau (
