Provided is a channel information feedback method and apparatus, a terminal, and a base station. The method includes: determining, by a terminal, a feedback state parameter of channel information, where the channel information includes at least one of a number M of precoding vectors v1, v2, . . . , vM, a number G of amplitude coefficients A1, A2, . . . , AG, or a number K of phase coefficients P1, P2, . . . , PK, where M, G and K are all integers greater than or equal to 0; and feeding back, by the terminal, the channel information according to the determined feedback state parameter.
