Analysis of seismic data and seismicity characteristics in China, we gave a method to deal with seismic patterns by calculating density at grid nodes. Number of earthquakes and epicenter distribution are considered comprehen-sively in this method. Effect of datum accuracy is stressed on parameter confirmation. Seismic patterns from this method are stable and can reflect seismic characteristics reliably. These seismic patterns are the base of quantita-tive analysis of seismicity. It can be applied in seismic tendency analysis and medium-long term earthquake pre-diction, earthquake countermeasure and risk mitigation.
