We employ multistep inversions in the frequency or time domain to infer the pointsource and finite-fault model of the 2014 MS 6. 1 Yingjiang，Yunnan earthquake，mainly using regional broadband seismic waves recorded by the Chinese Digital Seismic Network． We take into account some factors，which could bring possible effects on the inverted result，consisting of different datasets and simplified 1-D velocity models． The result indicates the misfit between observed waves and synthetics is better，if we use the regional waves and the 1-D velocity model (M1) in this studied area． This event occurs on a true rupture plane ( strike = 176° / dip = 84° / rake = － 173°)，showing a right-lateral strike-slip faulting． The horizontal centroid locates at nearly 7km northeast of the epicenter (24. 99°N /97. 84°E)，and the best-fitting centroid depth is about 7km． The total scalar moment M0，is retrieved with an average value of 7. 56 × 1017N·m ( or moment magnitude MW 5. 8 ) ． We make use of the high-frequency ( up to 0. 5Hz) data to reconstruct the finite fault model． The result shows that the rupture direction of this event is not obvious with a radius of 10km． The total rupture area is about 267. 2 km2 with an average slip of 0. 05m． Most of energy is released within about 5s． From 0s to 2s，the energetic rupture starts at the nucleation center，then propagates bilaterally along the fault plane． Part of energy is released in between 7km and 17km depth． After 2s，the rupture mainly extends to the top and along the strike of the fault plane． In the end，the rupturing ceases at about 5s．
