Abstract: In 2004, a shallow artificial seismic exploration was done on the Xingtai east fault using explosion source. After data processing, 7 seismic profiles with high signal to noise ratio are obtained which clearly show the shallow structure characteristics of Xingtai east fault. Combining the data and oil seismic profile data, we obtain the deep fracture tectonic characteristics of the Xingtai east fault. The result show that the fault shows the shape of half-pinnate,it is composed by a main fault and two secondary faults, and has a certain scale. The break of the main fracture of Xingtai east fault is buried deep in 190～235 m.
