Abstract: During the 30 years the development of seismogeology is closely associated with the establishment of New China and the upsurge in its economic construction. At the beginning of construction of our country seismogeological works were mainly in determining the stability of the engineering construction sites and evaluating the seismic activities. As time went on, 1966 Xingtai earthquake promoted the seismogeological researches to a new stage. The results obtained from the seismogeological works in the prediction, origin and zonation of seismicities are encouraging.This article makes an attempt to discuss the implication of seismogeology and its position and role in long-and short-term earthquake predictions and earthquake resistant works. Furthermore, the principal topics of seismogeology studies recently in China may be summarized as follows: 1) seismotectonics, 2) relation of the genetic mechanism of a strong shock and its accompanied phenomena to the geological conditions, 3) regional earth's stress field and intraplate dynamics of Chinese continent, 4) geology of seismic disaster and of induced earthquakes.Finally, the theoretical significance of seismogeology in new geoscience is pointed out and some suggestions for developing seismogeology in China are also proposed herein.
