The present disclosure provides a scan-driving circuit and a liquid crystal display, which comprises a scan-level-signal-output module, a present-stage cascaded-signal-output module, and a present-stage scanning-signal-output module. The scan-level-signal-output module is used for generating a scanning level signal and for performing a latching operation on the scanning level signal. A forward/reverse scanning control signal is used for controlling the scanning drive unit be on a forward-driving mode or a reverse-driving mode.
