TU1; The paper presented a new regular pattern (network structure) of great earthquakes occurred in Mainland China during the past 700 years, which may be helpful to improve the understanding of great earthquakes and can serve as a base for the study of prediction of future great earthquakes. It can be done because there are quite complete and confident records of historical and recent earthquakes in a wide extent in China.
