In the past 100 years, the development of China's seismological science and technology is a tortuous process, while having achieved extraordinary achievements. In different periods, China's major earthquakes and earthquake disasters have different characteristics, which could be used to guide the development of the earthquake science. National policies and major decisions have also played an important role in promoting the development of the seismological science and technology. The past 100 years can be divided into four stages and the development of China's seismological research is reviewed in each stage in this paper.
