The invention relates to a method for correcting the damaged sequential value in a distributed system. The embodiment of the invention relates to the detection and correction of a damaged distributed clock in the distributed system. The method includes the step of receiving a sequential number which is used as a part of the distributed clock on a node and determining whether or not the sequential number is damaged. With the help of a high-efficiency mechanism which can determine whether or not the sequential number is damaged and can take the correction operation, the effective sequential number scope can be determined, the transmission counting which is relative to the sequential number can be evaluated, the estimated sequential number is calculated, and the time number which is relative to the sequential number can be also evaluated. Besides, on the embodiment aspect, the node of the damaged credible sequential value can be self-diagnosed, and the related progress is terminated, and the further transmission of the damaged sequential number is prevented.
