Progress in light hadron spectroscopy at BESIII

Based on the 225 million J/ψ events and 106 million ψ′ events taken at the BESIII detector, the recent results on light hadron spectroscopy are presented, including the partial wave analysis of and , confirmation of X(1835) and observation of two new resonances in J/ψ→γπ+π−η′, observation of a new resonance X(1870) in J/ψ→ωπ+π−η and the first observation of isospin-violating decay mode of η(1405)→f0(980)π0.
