A water-cooled internal combustion engine cylinder head, said cylinder head comprising: an intake duct, an exhaust duct, a cylinder head water cavity, a fuel injector receiving hole, an intake valve stem receiving hole, and an exhaust valve stem receiving hole, characterized in that, said cylinder head is formed by integrating an upper cylinder head part and a lower cylinder head part, which are manufactured separately, into the whole, wherein said fuel injector receiving hole, said intake valve stem receiving hole and said exhaust valve stem receiving hole are respectively formed by integrating their upper portions which are formed together with said upper cylinder head part and their lower portions which are formed together with said lower cylinder head part respectively; said intake duct and said exhaust duct are formed in said lower cylinder head part; said cylinder head water cavity is formed by integrating an upper water cavity portion which is formed together with said upper cylinder head part and a lower water cavity portion which is formed together with said lower cylinder head part into the whole, alternatively, said cylinder head water cavity is formed, as a whole, with said lower cylinder head part, wherein the joints between said upper cylinder head part and said lower cylinder head part are all integrated and sealed by welding without employing an adhesive sealant, wherein said cylinder head further comprises cam follower receiving holes, said cylinder head is formed by integrating said upper cylinder head part and said lower cylinder head part, which are manufactured separately, into the whole, said upper cylinder head part is provided with through holes for inserting therethrough the fuel injector receiving hole portion, the intake valve stem receiving hole portion and the exhaust valve stem receiving hole portion, respectively, all of which are formed together with said lower cylinder head part, and said lower cylinder head part is provided with the intake duct, the exhaust duct, the cylinder head water cavity, the fuel injector receiving hole, the intake valve stem receiving hole and the exhaust valve stem receiving hole; said cam follower receiving holes are formed of an upper portion formed together with said upper cylinder head part and a lower portion formed together with said lower cylinder head part; around the periphery of a parting surface between said upper cylinder head part and said lower cylinder head part is provided a first endless weld which runs inside of the cylinder head bolt holes; at the joint between said fuel injector receiving hole which is formed together with said lower cylinder head part and the corresponding through hole in said upper cylinder head part is provided a second weld; at the joint between said intake valve stem receiving hole which is formed together with said lower cylinder head part and the corresponding through hole in said upper cylinder head part is provided a third weld; at the joint between said exhaust valve stem receiving hole which is formed together with said lower cylinder head part and the corresponding through hole in said upper cylinder head part is provided a fourth weld, and at the parting surface between said upper cylinder head part and said lower cylinder head part and around said cam follower receiving holes are provided fifth welds, said upper cylinder head part and said lower cylinder head part are integrated into said cylinder head by said first weld, said second weld, said third weld, said fourth weld and said fifth welds.

2. The cylinder head according to claim 1 , wherein an outside wall of said cylinder head is provided with windows for drawing out mould cores, which correspond to the demoulding blind areas of said fuel injector receiving hole, said intake duct and/or said exhaust duct by die-casting process, and with plugs for closing said windows.

3. The cylinder head according to claim 1 , wherein when forming said cylinder head by a die-casting process, a first removable mould core piece is inset in the casting blind area under said fuel injector receiving hole, a second removable mould core piece is inset in the casting blind area under said exhaust duct and/or a removable mould core piece is inset in the casting blind area under said intake duct; during demoulding, said removable mould core pieces, as inset in said casting blind areas under said fuel injector receiving hole, under said exhaust duct and/or under said intake duct respectively, are drawn out; stepped holes, corresponding to said fuel injector receiving hole, said exhaust duct and said intake duct respectively, are closed with plugs corresponding to the shapes of the stepped holes respectively, the connection between said plugs and said stepped holes is attained by welding, adhering, bolting and/or riveting.

4. The cylinder head according to claim 1 , wherein said intake valve stem receiving hole and said exhaust valve stem receiving hole are inset with an intake valve stem guide sleeve and an exhaust valve stem guide sleeve respectively.

5. The cylinder head according to claim 1 , wherein said cylinder head is formed by integrating said upper cylinder head part and said lower cylinder head part, which are manufactured separately, into the whole, in the case that said upper cylinder head part and said lower cylinder head part are integrated, the fuel injector receiving hole portion, the intake valve stem receiving hole portion and the exhaust valve stem receiving hole portion, all of which are formed together with said lower cylinder head part, are inserted respectively through the corresponding holes which are formed in said upper cylinder head part respectively, and are exposed from the top surface of said upper cylinder head part; at the parting surface between said upper cylinder head part and said lower cylinder head part and outside said cylinder head water cavity, is provided a first endless weld; said fuel injector receiving hole, said intake valve stem receiving hole and said exhaust valve stem receiving hole are welded to said upper cylinder head part by a second endless weld, a third endless weld and a fourth endless weld respectively; said upper cylinder head part and said lower cylinder head part are integrated into said cylinder head by said first endless weld, said second endless weld of the fuel injector receiving hole, said third endless weld of the intake valve stem receiving hole and said fourth endless weld of the exhaust valve stem receiving hole.

6. The cylinder head according to claim 1 , wherein said cam follower receiving holes are formed by integrating an upper portion formed together with said upper cylinder head part and a lower portion formed together with said lower cylinder head part.

7. A water-cooled internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder block and the cylinder head according to claim 1 .

8. A machine equipped with the water-cooled internal combustion engine head according to claim 1 .

9.
