Rhinovirus (RV) is a significant pathogen causing upper and lower respiratory diseases and is one of the most prevalent human respiratory viruses. However, research on the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of RVs in China and worldwide remains limited. To address this knowledge gap, we utilized Chinese clinical RV samples as a starting point and detected and reported 22 types, including A9, B3, and C13, in China for the first time. Among these, A67, A76, and A106 were also detected and reported in Asia for the first time, characterizing their genetic diversity. We also identified A110 as a novel type of RVA and reported its distinctive characteristics in phylogeny, secondary structure, and capsid protein structure. Furthermore, by mining, refining, and annotating RV sequence data available worldwide, four previously unreported novel types, B107, C58, C59, and C60, were identified, and their genetic diversity was revealed. Furthermore, we observed variations in the guanine-cytosine (GC) content among different serotypes and clades. Also of note was that, based on a complete and refined VP1 data set, the evolutionary dynamics of RV were analyzed systematically and on a large scale for the first time. IMPORTANCE Based on clinical samples collected in China, we detected and reported 22 types for the first time in China, as well as three types for the first time in Asia, and reported their genetic characteristics and diversity. We identified a novel type of Rhinovirus (RV), A110, highlighting its unique genetic features. We annotated the genomic structure and serotype of all the existing RV sequences in the database, and four novel RV types were identified and their genetic diversity reported. Combined with the sequence annotation, we constructed a complete VP1 data set of RV and conducted the first large-scale evolutionary dynamics analysis of RV. Based on a high-quality data set, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the guanine-cytosine (GC) content variations among serotypes of RVs. This study provides crucial theoretical support and valuable data for understanding RV\'s genetic diversity and developing antiviral strategies.
