Abstract:  The rising divorce rate has profound social and historical background in China，highlighting the changes in the values of people at this stage．To reveal the pattern of spatial-temporal evolution of Chinese divorce rate，this paper conducts a statistical analysis of regional and spatial-temporal characteristics of the changes in divorce rate at the provincial level． The divorce rate of each province in China has a non-random distribution in space，showing a significant positive spatial aggregation in China’s provinces with highhigh or low-low clustering characteristic． Looking at the characteristics of local aggregation in different provinces，the high-high clustering occurs mainly in provinces including Heilongjiang，Liaoning and Jilin，while the low-low pattern mainly in Hainan，Henan，Guangdong，Guangxi，Jiangxi，Anhui，Shandong and other south-east provinces．

摘要： 离婚率的上升既有深刻社会背景和时代背景，也凸显了现阶段人们价值观的变化。文章在对离婚率的区域差异性、空间聚集性分析的基础上，针对中国离婚问题的区域特性和时空特征进行统计分析，揭示中国离婚问题的空间演变规律。研究发现: 中国各省级行政区离婚率的高、低在空间上呈现出非随机分布; 从全局来看，中国各省离婚率一直存在高—高型聚集或低—低型聚集; 从各省离婚率的局部聚集特征可以看出，高—高型主要集中在东北3 省，低—低型主要集中在我国南部及东南沿海等省份; 2004 ～ 2012 年间，离婚率属于高—高型且显著的热点地区逐渐集中在黑龙江、辽宁、吉林，离婚率属于低—低型且显著的冷点地区从6 个减少到只剩1 个。
