Abstract There are two different distribution characteristics of Academicians:1) From space aspect, most of them concentrate on water areas, especially the water area to mountainous area ratio is high. The concentrated talented persons areas are littoral in East and South China, especially Jiangsu and Zhejiang province. 2) From time aspect, academicians were mostly born in early time of the 20th century, this phenomena is due to the historical reason, educational reason and the process of academicians' election. These characteristics are effected by geographical environment, economic condition, educational level, family background and centuries-old history and cultural background. By using statistical analysis method, this paper investigates the CAS members' success background, illustrates the distribution of Chinese senior intellectuals and concludes that the mechanisms of influence are natural factor, economical cultural factor and the influence of teachers and parents. The models show that the ratio of academicians' success has high positive correlation with the economic development of their native places and the ratio of water areas and has negative correlation with the ratio of mountain areas. Moreover, we can conclude that for senior intellectuals themselves, teachers are the most crucial facors affecting their successes, and fathers(among which most are teachers and intellectuals) affected more largely than mothers. The financial condition of families is important to children's growth. The university education and the experience of studying abroad are necessary. The results help to provide some consultations and bases to implement the Science and Education Strategy.
