The invention aims to provide an engine capable of directly injecting natural gas for multiple times under high pressure in a cylinder and a layered rapid combustion method thereof. The engine comprises an air cylinder cover, an air cylinder wall, a piston, an air inlet channel, an air inlet valve, an exhaust channel, an exhaust valve, a high-pressure natural gas injection valve, a high-pressure natural gas supply pipeline and a spark plug, wherein the cylinder cover, the cylinder wall and the spark plug form a combustion chamber, the combustion chamber is hemispherical, the air inlet channel,the exhaust channel, the high-pressure natural gas injection valve, the high-pressure natural gas supply pipeline and the spark plug are arranged in the cylinder cover, the high-pressure natural gassupply pipeline is connected with the high-pressure natural gas injection valve, the air inlet valve is arranged in the air inlet channel, the exhaust valve is arranged in the exhaust channel, and thehigh-pressure natural gas injection valve is located between the air inlet channel and the spark plug. The engine is advantaged in that layered combustion of different gradients under different loadscan be achieved, the ignition stability of the natural gas engine is guaranteed, economical efficiency and dynamic property of the engine are effectively improved, and emission is reduced.
