The invention relates to a high temperature superconducting material of gadolinium, thorium, oxygen, iron and arsenic, pertains to a ZrCuSiAs-type structure and has the same crystal structure as LaO1-yFyFeAs. The general formula of the high temperature superconducting material of gadolinium, thorium, oxygen, iron and arsenic of the invention is Gd1-xThx OFeAs, wherein, x is more than or equal to 0.05 and less than or equal to 0.30; the mole ratio of all elements content in the high temperature superconducting material gadolinium, thorium, oxygen, iron and arsenic is that Gd:Th: O: Fe: As is equal to 0.70 to 0.95: 0.3 to 0.05:1: 1: 1. According to the content of every element, the raw materials are mixed, ground, preformed, calcinated and quickly cooled, etc. so as to obtain a superconducting polycrystalline block. The high temperature superconducting material of gadolinium, thorium, oxygen, iron and arsenic of the invention has max superconducting critical temperature Tc which reaches56.5 K, estimated upper critical field Bc2 exceeding 100 Tesla, is superior to the LaO1-yFyFeAs superconductor with similar structure and has obvious advantages in practical use.
