In this talk, we present a selection of recent results on hadronic decays of $D^{0(+)}$ and $D_s^+$ from BESIII collaboration, including the amplitude analyses of $D^0 \to K^- \pi^+\pi^+\pi^-$, $D^+ \to K_S^0 \pi^+\pi^+\pi^-$, $D^0 \to K^- \pi^+ \pi^0 \pi^0$ and $D_s^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^0 \eta $, as well as the measurements of absolute branching fractions for $D_s^+ \to p \bar{n}$, $D_s^+ \to \omega \pi^+$ and $D_s^+ \to \omega K^+$, and $D$ mesons decays into two pseudoscalar mesons. These results are based on the data samples collected with the BESIII detector at the energies of $\psi(3770)$ and $\psi(4160)$.
