The invention relates to an energy-saving high-temperature counter radiation resistant inorganic coating for coating the liner of a kiln and a preparation method thereof. The coating mainly comprises oxides, such as cobalt oxide, zirconium oxide powder, aluminum oxide and chromic oxide, and silicon powder, silicon carbide, sodium silicate, aluminium dihydrogen phosphate, silica flour, graphite powder, boron oxide and other components and is prepared by grinding, soaking, heating reaction, stirring and mixing. The coating has high thermal shock resistance, high radiation utilization rate, high corrosion resistance, high cracking resistance, high oxidization resistance and high thermal stability. The inorganic coating of the invention has the advantages of allowing for normal construction without making special modification of the basal body of the kiln, along with small investment, quick response, no toxicity, no corrosion and desirable social and economic benefits.
