Aimed at the mechanism of underground mining-induced landslides, typical work and researches over the past several decades at home and abroad are analyzed in this paper. The findings are: 1) there is no clear understanding about the patterns of rock mass moving induced by underground mining; 2) in-situ monitoring: most of the data is the deformation of the ground surface; and 3) based on the assumptions of the geological background, constitution relationship, and other parameters, modelling researches are always excessively simplified, and the conclusions are primary and simple.
