Abstract: Abundant technological experiences were accumulated in the long history of Chinese jujube（Ziziphus jujuba Mill.）production in China. Great modern research achievements of Chinese jujube had been made，four of them regarding cultivation，breeding and pest control won national science and technology awards. This paper described briefly the main achievements in domestication，breeding，cultivation，harvest，storage and processing during thousands of years of production practices before the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949，and the main advances after 1949 in the researches on genome and biotechnology，origin and evolution，germplasm，breeding，propagation and orchard construction，cultivation theory and technology，pest control theory and technology，postharvest handling，storage and processing. The scientific and technological counter measures for the sustainable and healthy development of Chinese jujube industry in the future were put forward on the basis of profound analysis ofnew situations，new challenges and important front problems faced by Chinese jujube production and research.
