Abstract The drought in five provinces of North China during 1920 AD was called “Never Seen in The Past 40 Years”. This paper adopted the related original records of the drought in The Continuation of Disaster Annals in Recent China(1919-1949) and analyzed the characteristics and difference of the original drought records by dividing them into three social levels and six types. The advantages and limitations of different materials for drought reconstruction were also discussed. Conclusions came as follows: (1)In the aspect of records' contents,the central authorities pay much attention to the severest counties; the statistics from local government and organizations are more detailed; the records of newspapers aren't statistical data but descriptive words. (2)In the aspect of the quantity of statistical information,local government,central authorities and folk level reduce in turn.(3)In the time aspect,the folk level recorded earliest(especially newspapers reported); local government recorded later; central authorities recorded latest.(4)Official documents represented by Announcement of Relief Work include abundant information,which helps to reconstruct the drought area; reorganized materials like the Continuation of Disaster Annals in Recent China (1919-1949) put particular emphasis on the reorganization of the drought conditions so that much more drought influences and responses of 1920 AD need more other historical materials to support.
