The invention mainly relates to a method for Chinese pine seedling cultivation and afforestation in a dry stony sunny slope, and belongs to the technical field of forest seedling cultivation and afforestation. In the northern area of China, there is much dry and stony mountain land where the survival rate of afforestation is low and the forest establishment effect is poor. The cultivation and afforestation method comprises the steps that firstly, seedlings are cultivated in a bare-rooted manner in a field land; secondly, the seedlings are transplanted into containers to be cultivated, substrates in the containers are formed by clay and compounds of the clay or the clay and the compounds of agriculture and forestry organic wastes, and the clay in the substrates accounts for 70-80 percent in volume; thirdly, when the container seedlings are used for afforestation, a mode that the container seedlings are not detached from the containers is adopted for afforestation, the bottoms of the containers are removed, and wall cutting treatment is performed on the peripheries of the containers; fourthly, the container seedlings are transplanted into pits, after afforestation is performed, the seedlings can survival for a non-effective precipitation period of a half month to one month, and after the seedlings survival in summer under natural conditions, common intertillage cultivation is performed. According to the method, the survival rate and preserving rate of the Chinese pine seedlings are improved, the growing speed is obviously improved, and the forest establishment effect is better.
