A synthetic method of a superhigh temperature resistant zirconium carbide ceramic precursor belongs to preparation methods of ceramic precursors. The synthetic method includes firstly, dissolving 6.44g zirconium oxychloride in 50 mL absolute methanol, stirring the mixture at a room temperature for dissolving, subjecting the mixture to ice bath for cooling, dropwise adding 2.4g-3.47g saligenin, finally dropwise adding 4.24g triethylamine at a dropping speed of 1 droplet per second, and subjecting the mixture to magnetic stirring in the process of the dropping adding; after the dropping adding, removing the ice bath and stirring the mixture at a room temperature for 4 hours; then subjecting the mixture to rotary evaporation for 10 minutes to evaporate solvents, adding 50 mL tetrahydrofuran, stirring the mixture at a room temperature for 2 hours, and performing suction filtration to remove a precipitation of triethylamine hydrochloride; subjecting the mixture to rotary evaporation for 15 minutes to evaporate the solvents of colatuie, adding 100 mL hexyl hydride, stirring the mixture at a room temperature for 12-48 hours, performing filtration to obtain a pale yellow precipitation, and subjecting the pale yellow precipitation to vacuum drying for three hours to obtain the zirconium carbide ceramic precursor. The synthetic method of the superhigh temperature resistant zirconium carbide ceramic precursor has the advantages that the even dispersing of modular zirconium components in precursor reins is achieved, the solidification group saligenin are contained in the ceramic precursor so that crosslinking solidification is facilitated, the synthesis temperature is low, the reaction speed is rapid, and the toxicity of solvents is small.
