Abstract: Based on the shortening time interval of larger earthquakes, the smaller crossing angle of local mean lunar time of larger earthquakes and the frequent occurrence of small earthquakes, the earthquake with Ms 6.0 occurred in Atushi, Xinjiang in March 19, 1998, was well predicted by using the study results of the Ninth five-year plan.

Key words: Short and imminent prediction of earthquake, Local mean lunar time, Time internal of earthquakes, Xinjiang Atushi earthquake
