Abstract: A decade has passed since the 2008 Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake, research and practice about earthquake forecasting have never stopped. As professionals in earthquake forecasting, we analyzed phenomena of varied aspects about the 2008 Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake, including earthquake geology, geodesy, seismology and precursory anomalies. For tracing earthquakes, the authors discussed the predictive significance, analyzed possible problems and proposed suggestions for different research, and presented some thoughts and understandings about comprehensive forecasting, in the hope of providing some inspirations in earthquake forecasting and prediction.

Key words: Earthquake Prediction, Earthquake Forecast, The 2008 Wenchuan MS8.0 Earthquake
