Abstract Based on historical documents records as proxy data,we reconstructed the sequence of extreme drought events in North China during AD 1000-2000, and then analysed the characteristics and principle of these extreme drought events. Main conclusions from this study are as follows: (1)The extreme drought events show oscillations with a period of 200 a,and there exist three high-incidence periods including the middle 15th century,the early 17th century and the late 18th century. (2)Changes of extreme drought events are consistent with humidity changes in the eastern China. When the humidity is low,the probability of extreme droughts is high,and vice versa. (3)Extreme drought events are more likely to occur during the medieval and modern warm periods,and the coldest period in the Little Ice Age. (4)When the relationship between humidity and extreme drought events is considered, there is a stable inverse correlation between the North China monsoon regions and non-monsoon areas that influenced by westerly wind. This phenomenon is probably affected by “silk road pattern”and NAO(North Atlantic Oscillation).
