East China has experienced multiple periods of tectonic movements, which have contributed to the composition and rheological properties of its present crust. Estimating the composition of the crust is crucial for understanding the tectonic processes. Based on the teleseismic receiver functions with data from the National Seismic Network of China, we applied the H-κ-c method to obtain the crustal bulk V P /V S 2 content in the crust. We estimated the SiO2 content to range from 50.89 wt% to 73.51 wt%, with an average value of 65.87 wt%, indicating a predominant felsic composition of the East China's crust. Our study suggests that the North-South Gravity Lineament (NSGL) is an approximate delimitator of the felsic and mafic crust in East China, hinting at a widespread deficiency of mafic lower crust in the east of the NSGL. The mafic crust is extensively distributed in the Taihang orogenic region (TSR) and WuLingshan gravity gradient belts (WLG), particularly in the Datong volcanic area, which manifests the mantle materials intraplating. The scatteredly distributed mafic crust at the east of the NSGL is mainly concentrated in the southeast coast of China and in the intersection region of the Tanlu Fault (TLF) and Sulu region. In Sulu region, the TLF may primarily provide a channel for the thermal intrusion from the underlying mantle lithosphere, which has increased the mafic content. The Pacific/Philippine Sea plate subduction has triggered a significant amount of crust-mantle material exchange below southeast China that resulted in a high degree of mafic crustal composition.
