The invention relates to a horizontal omnidirectional earthquake isolation system for a building and a building system, the earthquake isolation system comprises an upper plate body and a lower plate body, first retainers are arranged between the upper plate body and the lower plate body at intervals, a plurality of first steel balls are arranged in the first retainers, and the first steel balls are in rolling contact with the upper plate body and the lower plate body. An upper partition wall is arranged on the lower surface of the upper plate body in a downwards-protruding mode, and a lower partition wall is arranged on the upper surface of the lower plate body in an upwards-protruding mode. The upper partition wall, the lower partition wall and the first retainer are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction, a rubber ring is clamped and fixed between every two adjacent partition walls, and a plurality of mutually independent bubble chambers are uniformly formed in each rubber ring at intervals in the circumferential direction. According to the invention, the vertical bearing capacity is relatively large, the overall height is relatively small, the horizontal rigidity is very low, the self-homing capacity is realized, the excellent horizontal seismic isolation capacity is realized, the seismic oscillation possibly from any horizontal direction can be dealt with, the building above can be effectively protected, and the design cost, the construction cost and the manufacturing cost are relatively low.
