A　total　of　32　free-field　accelerograms　recorded　at　rupture　distances　of　less　than　300　km　during　Ludian　MS6.5　earthquake　in　2014　were　used　to　analysis　the　spatial　distribution　of　peak　ground　acceleration　(PGA)　and　peak　ground　velocity　(PGV),　and　compare　the　Ludian　earthquake　ground　motions　with　the　four　NGA-West2　and　one　China　Sichuan-Tibet　area　ground　motion　attenuation　models.　The　results　show　that,　the　fastest　attenuation　direction　of　PGA　and　PGV　is　consistent　with　the　main　fault　rupture　direction.　For　most　Ludian　station　recordings　within　the　entire　rupture　distances,　the　PGA,　PGV　and　spectral　acceleration　(Sa(T=0.1,　5.0　s))　are　beyond　+/-　1　standard　deviation　of　the　prediction　curves　of　the　four　NGA-West2　models.　The　average　intra-event　residuals　of　the　PGA,　PGV　and　Sa(T=5.0　s)　ranged　from　-1.43　to　-0.74.　The　average　intra-event　residuals　of　Sa(T=0.01　similar　to　5.0　s)　showed　a　systematic　negative　within　the　entire　rupture　distances.　The　spatial　contours　of　intra-event　residuals　for　PGA　predicted　by　the　four　NGA-West2　models　are　almost　the　same,　and　the　regions　of　maximum　positive　and　maximum　negative　intra-event　residuals　are　mainly　distributed　with　the　source-to-site　azimuth　approximating　to　-90　degrees　and　90　degrees,　which　are　perpendicular　to　the　main　fault　rupture　direction.　The　terrain　of　these　two　areas　is　relatively　flat,　and　the　station　sites　VS30　in　these　areas　are　relatively　large.　As　a　whole,　four　NGA-West2　models　will　significantly　overestimate　the　spectral　acceleration　within　the　entire　rupture　distances　from　the　Ludian　earthquake,　especially　in　short　period　(T＜1.0　s).　The　China　Sichuan-Tibet　area　ground-motion　model　considering　the　actual　seismic　data　in　this　area　will　also　overestimate　the　spectral　acceleration　of　the　Ludian　earthquake　to　a　certain　extent,　but　compared　with　the　four　NGA-West2　models,　its　predicted　values　will　be　closer　to　the　actual　observed　values.
