The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for processing astronomical survey data. The method comprises: a data distribution step: delivering a spectral data file to be processed to a distributed file system, dividing the spectral data file into a plurality of data blocks, and distributing the data blocks to computing nodes; a data computing step: performing a spectral classification of spectra to be measured in the data blocks, with a template matching method; the data computing step comprises: reading template spectra, and extracting template universal operators; reading the spectra to be measured; performing spectral matching, and computing Chi-square error values for flow rate values of the template spectra multiplied by the polynomial and flow rate values of the spectra to be measured; and finding corresponding minimum Chi-square error and corresponding redshift for each of the template spectra, so as to determine classifications of the spectra to be measured.
