The invention provides a method for hanging a membrane in a sludge internal circulation biological filter. The method comprises the following steps: mixing acclimated sludge and wastewater, adding nutrition, and injecting into the biological filter for aeration; at the same time, stepwise starting internal circulation from bottom to top along the height direction of the filter, and making microorganisms fully contacted with a filter material and attached to the filter material for growth; after a period of culture, discharging mixed liquor, adding high concentration wastewater to continue aeration culture, and exciting the activity of the attached microorganisms; and after a membrane is formed, discharging the high concentration wastewater, continuously introducing water, and making the hydraulic load from low to high until forming a stable biological membrane. The method utilizes current disturbance action formed by the internal circulation of the sludge and water mixed liquor in the biological filter to overcome sludge deposition, strengthens the adhesive ability of the microorganisms on the surface of the filter material, improves local membrane hanging effect, and improves the whole membrane hanging efficiency of the filter and the shock load resistance of the biological membrane.
