Abstract：
The study area is North China, which includes monsoon region between Qinling Mountain -Huaihe River and Yin Mountain - Yan Mountain. The area was divided into 34 subareas, and each subarea was named after representative cities. Dry grade dataset of 34 sites in North China (AD 1000-2000) was developed using historical records and dryness and wetness grades method in Yearly Charts of Dryness and Wetness in China for the last 500 years period. The data shows that the extreme drought events show oscillations with a period of 200 a, and there was three high-incidence periods including the middle 15th century, the early 17th century and the late 18th century. In the dataset, 3 indicates normal, 4 indicates drought, 5 indicates extremely drought. The data is yearly based. The dataset is archived in one Excel file (.xls format) with data size of 277 KB. The analysis paper based on the dataset was published at Journal of Palaeogeography (Chinese Edition), Vol.21, No.4, 2019.
