The invention discloses application of 1, 3-dyhydroxy-6-benzo[C]chromone to preparing anti-influenza virus drugs. Influenza viruses are influenza A viruses, preferably, H1N1, H3N2, H5N1, H7N1, H7N2, H7N3, H7N7, H7N9, H9N2 or H10N8; the mechanism of action of the 1, 3-dyhydroxy-6-benzo[C]chromone comprises binding with PB2cap protein to inhibit activity of vRNP (virus ribonucleoprotein complexes) to prepare drugs for preventing and treating influenza; the binding loci between the 1, 3-dyhydroxy-6-benzo[C]chromone and the PB2cap protein of the influenza viruses are His357 (histidine 357), Phe404(phenylalanine 404), Phe323, Glu361 (glutamic acid 361), Lys376 (lysine 376), Phe363 and Asn429 (asparagine 429).
