The author reviewed the three stages development of rice direct seeding technology in more than 20 years, analysised the main technical advantages for the obvious labor saving, stable yields, technical support of rice direct seeding, and put forward three major technical problems existing in the production process in Zhejiang Province. Comprehensive evaluation showed that direct seeding rice is a high yield and high efficiency techniques comply with the reguirements of social development, and an important way of future rice  cultivation in China. In the future, the technology of rice direct seeding must be improved by speeding up the research on mechanical hole direct sowing.
