Abstract：Poverty is not only a social problem, but also a severe economic problem and political problem. Poverty exists widely in the different countries and regions, especially in developing countries and backward area. Poverty is a result of the integrated effects of various factors. Dividing the poor area scientifically is helpful to strengthen the direction and the effectiveness of implementing the government poverty alleviation policy and anti-poverty strategy. Based on the overview of the division methods of the poor areas in the domestic and oversea, the Quantity-FIG is used to distinguish the poor and rich provinces. Comparing to the multivariate statistical analysis method, the weighted-factor method, and method of the single index such as the income per capital, the Quantity-FIG has a lot of advantages such as computing more easily, much more testability to the computing outcome, self-revised ability and objectives. So the Chinese poor provinces are determined by using the Quantity-FIG, and in the angle of dynamic analysis and the level of provincial administration. Firstly, the index system of evaluating the power which province is poor is built. We choose the 12 indexes which include the economy, society, culture, education, market system as the indexes of dividing the Chinese poor provinces. Then on the basis of the characteristics and variation of economic and social development in the poor provinces,the reasons of causing poverty in Chinese poor provinces is analyzed and determined. Finally some key measures to get rid of poverty in the poor provinces are put forward. In order to eliminate the poor, the paper suggests that the poor provinces should:1) change from the industrial structure of resource economy to high-tech industries and new industries; 2) improve the proportion that the center government gives the fiscal incomes to the subnational government; 3) continue to deepen reform of market system and open up; 4) build the good atmosphere of encouraging innovation and start-up and so on.
