Popis: The fault deformation observed in 18 years after the Tangshan earthquake on the deformation station located on the surface fissure of the seismogenic fault is introduced. The results show that the vertical and horizontal deformations of the seismogenic fault were concentrated within 7 years after the earthquake and the year of 1983 was the turning year of postseismic deformation. The deformation shown by large-area levelings is consistent with the intensity level of fault deformation. At present, a relaxation state appears in which stress is not easy for stress to accumulate and there is no probability of stronger earthquake occurrence in the near future.
