Nuclear data, especially neutron nuclear data, forms the foundation of national defense, nuclear energy development, and the applications of nuclear technology. It also plays a critical role in fundamental nuclear physics research. The quality of nuclear data directly impacts the effectiveness, safety, reliability, and economy of related devices and products. Experimental data serves as the foundation for developing theoretical models and nuclear data libraries. Therefore, experimental research holds a paramount position in nuclear data research. The experimental research on nuclear data in China commenced in the mid-1950s and has achieved fruitful results after decades of development. In this article, we provide a brief overview of the progress made in experimental research on nuclear data in China and outline potential future advancements.
