In　order　to　investigate　the　spatial　distribution　of　early　warning　threshold　for　landslide　induced　by　rainfall　in　China,　the　literatures　about　rainfall　thresholds　of　landslides　in　China　in　recent　20　years　are　selected.　Statistical　analysis　and　visualization　methods　were　employed　to　systematically　analyze　the　research　progress　of　rainfall　early　warning　thresholds　at　various　scales.　Taking　the　typical　rainfall　intensity-duration　(I-D)　threshold　model　as　the　research　object,　combined　with　the　geographical　characteristics　of　China　and　the　average　annual　rainfall　of　20　years,　the　spatial　distribution　of　early　warning　thresholds　for　rainfall-induced　landslide　in　China　is　depicted.　The　results　show　that　the　inspired　rain　intensity　coefficient　α　of　the　rainfall　threshold　(I-D　curve)　in　China　roughly　increases　gradually　with　the　decrease　of　topography.　Moreover,　under　consistent　annual　rainfall　conditions,　the　scalar　index　β　exhibits　regular　changes　corresponding　to　variations　in　terrain.　Topography　and　rainfall　are　the　two　main　factors　strongly　associated　with　the　rainfall　threshold.　This　research　establishes　a　clear　framework　for　studying　the　early　warning　thresholds　for　rainfall-induced　landslides　in　China　and　holds　significant　scientific　implications　for　developing　more　effective　rainfall　threshold　models.　©　2023　Chinese　Society　for　Rock　Mechanics　&　Engineering.
