The invention discloses anti-cracking plastering gypsum mortar. The anti-cracking plastering gypsum mortar is prepared from the following raw materials: high-temperature calcined gypsum, ash calcium powder, composite portland cement, expanded perlite, fly ash, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose ether, a retarder, a water reducing agent, starch ether, redispersible latex powder, polypropylene fibers and a waterproof agent. The invention provides the environment-friendly type lightweight bottom-layer plastering gypsum mortar which has good anti-cracking performance, has good heat insulation performance and can automatically adjusting temperature and humidity. By adopting the anti-cracking plastering gypsum mortar, the density of the mortar and the self weight of buildings can be effectively reduced; the anti-cracking plastering gypsum mortar has good sound insulation and noise reduction effects and has the advantages of uniformity in material preparation, convenience for construction, capability of being firmly stuck with a base layer, no hollowing, no falling, no cracks, fireproof and heat-resisting performance, heat insulation and sound insulation, greenness and environment protection,low cost and the like.
