With the rapid development of society and economy, the speed of urban construction is accelerating, social wealth is rapidly gathering and the population is high. The degree of concentration is obvious and the damage caused by urban earthquakes are obviously on the rise. Underground fault zone activity causes the culprit of an urban earthquake. The ground rupture caused by the earthquake is causing damage to buildings and people’s lives. This paper studies the activity of Huizhou urban active faults by comprehensive methods such as drilling, earthquake, chronology analysis, and sedimentary environment analysis. It is determined that the Huizhou fault is an early Quaternary fault and is currently not active.
