Based on the field investigation and the summary of the published
research results of the April 20, 2013, Lushan, Sichuan, China,
MS7.0 earthquake, having occurred along the same fault zone which
accommodated the May 12, 2008, Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake, this
Brief tries to describe and discuss the special earthquake
phenomenology associated with both the local geology and the
changing society. Since the occurrence of this earthquake, there
have been the scientific debates on (1) the seismo-tectonics of
this earthquake which has no primary seismic fault discovered on
the surface of the ground; (2) the relation between this earthquake
and the Wenchuan earthquake (i.e., whether it can be considered as
one of the aftershocks); and (3) how well have been accomplished in
the reduction of earthquake disasters, 5 years after the Wenchuan
earthquake. This Brief also tries to introduce the studies and
practice of Chinese seismological agencies for the reduction of
earthquake disasters. Due to language and cultural barriers, such
an introduction makes sense not only for English readers but also
for Chinese readers. For example, people (abroad) are always asking
why there are so many Chinese seismologists working on earthquake
prediction. In fact the Chinese wording 'earthquake prediction' has
a much wider coverage than that in English. And actually the
Chinese approach to (time-dependent) seismic hazard has no
systematic difference from outside world in its methodology.
