Local earthquake catalogues complete down to ML 2.5 are used to calculate the cumulative Benioff strain along the central- and north-Longmenshan fault zone which accommodated the May 12, 2008, Wenchuan MS 8.0 earthquake. The nearby Xianshuihe, Anninghe, and Zemuhe fault zone are used for comparison. The data revealed that at the two-decade time scale which is different from geological process and GPS measurement, considering both horizontal and vertical deformation, and comparing with the neighboring active fault systems, the Longmenshan fault zone seems not as 'quiet' as traditionally assessed, providing a lesson for future seismic hazard analysis.
