In　order　to　provide　some　scientific　references　for　the　restoration　of　ancient　timber　buildings,　the　wooden　column　was　subjected　to　a　secondary　load　through　the　quasi-static　test.　The　seismic　performance　parameters　of　wooden　column　such　as　the　damage　of　the　wooden　column,　P-Δ　hysteretic　curve,　P-Δ　skeleton　curve　and　stiffness　degradation　were　analyzed.　The　test　results　showed　that　the　wooden　column　could　still　maintain　the　lateral　resistance　capacity　after　the　secondary　load　under　the　action　of　low　reversed　cyclic　load.　The　hysteretic　curve　of　the　wooden　column　had　a　certain　degree　of　a　pinch　effect,　which　indicated　that　the　semi-rigid　characteristic　of　the　wooden　column　was　reserved　after　the　secondary　loading.　The　lateral　stiffness　of　the　wooden　column　after　the　secondary　load　decreases　with　the　increased　of　the　lateral　displacement.　The　lateral　stiffness　decreases　with　the　increase　of　displacement.　It　showed　that　the　wooden　column　still　had　good　seismic　behavior　after　secondary　load.
