Abstract：Seismo-tectonic areas of historical strong earthquakes with magnitude MS≥7.0 along Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang fault zone are divived, and their individual fault pattern and tectonic geomorphology are analysed. Those strong earthquake areas are located in some special parts of the fault zone, where the major branch-faults of the fault zone form left stepping, parallel, and fork-like patterns. In the strong earthquake areas structurally complicated basins are developed, such as pull-apart basins in fork-like area, in double stepping area, and in stepping and fork-like areas.
