Results manifested that the linear trend change rate is only -0.74%/(10 a) during 1954-2012. We found no significant trend change in 97.7% of the effective time period. The accumulative anomaly method and Mann-Kendall method revealed that the precipitation changed in apparent stages, while wavelet analysis confirmed the significant periodicity of precipitation in dominant periods of 28, 12 and 4 years. In summary, the periodicity of precipitation changes in the Heilongjiang River Basin is significantly stronger than the trend. Study on the change of precipitation in Heilongjiang River Basin could provide realistic basis for Sino-Russian cross-border river management. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20171298
