In the paper，paleo-landslides and modern landslides since the Early

Mid-Pleistocene in China were studied and the relationships among the landslide active period，climate change，and the climate change driven mechanism of landslide were also done. There were three characteristics: 1) landslide development would be closely related to climate changes; 2) there are 3 active periods of paleo-landslide in the region of Longyang Gorge to Liujia Gorge of the upper reaches of Yellow River; and 3) in the Three Gorges Reservoir area，there also were 3 high-frequency periods of landslide since Early Mid-Pleistocene，which were corresponding to warm and wet climatic periods.
