Abstract: Employing the data of short-period Pg and Pn wave onsets from Xinjiang Seismic Network, China Digital Seismic Network, Global Digital Seismic Networks, and those from Mid-Asian region, we obtained 48 focal mechanismsolutions, among them 6 strong earth-quakes from 1997 to 1998 and the others are MS≥ 4. 0 moderately small earthquakes. We ex-plored the characteristics of regional stress field with the spatial-tem poral distribution and seis-mic intensity of the Jiashi strong earthquakeswarm. The result shows that the principal com-pressional stress field is in the SW-N E direction.

Key words: Jiashi strong earthquakeswarm, Focal mechanismsolution, Seismic intensity, Regional stress field
