By using acoustic emission to study the paleo-tectonic events field in the north segment of the Tanlu fracture, the result indicates that this area has undergone eight paleo-tectonic movements since Late Ordovician. The maximum principal stress value has been determined as 153.6 MPa. There were no or weak tectonic movements from Early Permian to the early Yanshan Movement. There were four paleo-tectonic movements after Early Cretaceous. The results show that the Yilan-Yitong and Haerbin-Changchun faults were formed in the Paleozoic, then the movment stopped. The Tanlu fracture strongly moved in the Yanshan period, and became a large-scale strike-slip fault.
