Abstract: In this paper, we analyzed the entire transferring picture of large earthquakes on the South-North earthquake belt in the middle of China with different time scale. In recent 500 years, the activity of large earthquakes is more intense along the eastern segment of the belt than the western one. Since this century there appear an transferring picture from north to south of the main area of the large earthquakes (M≥7.1). The principal area of earthquakes (M≥6.0) is turning to western segment since this active period. Hereby, we analyzed the trend of the large earthquakes and the risk area on this belt.
