After the Tangshan earthquake, the government and people of China were greatly shocked, which also inspired the strong spiritual strength of the national government and people to overcome all difficulties, thus bringing new vitality to the rescue of the Tangshan earthquake.

Immediately after the Tangshan earthquake, the CPC Central Committee gave instructions to do its utmost to rescue the areas and people affected by the Tangshan earthquake with the fastest and most accurate speed. In order to win precious time for the rescue work, the China People's Liberation Army Military Region, the central government and relevant departments and units in various provinces and cities have taken action in succession, including more than 27,000 people from the Beijing Military Region, more than 40 medical rescue teams and more than 6,500 vehicles of different models. The day after the earthquake, shenyang military area command also rushed to the front line of the earthquake to carry out emergency rescue work.

Within seven days of the Tangshan earthquake, in a very short time, 65,438+10,000 soldiers and civilians participated in the rescue work, and more than 5,000 vehicles were dispatched throughout the country. At the Tangshan airport at that time, in two days, rescue planes took off and landed nearly 800 times, transporting thousands of wounded people and thousands of tons of relief materials, which helped Tangshan at the first time and solved the urgent needs in the earthquake zone.

The rescue work of Tangshan earthquake can be described as timely and effective, and it is also commendable to concentrate the strength of all parts of the country to rescue Tangshan after the disaster in the shortest time. However, after the Tangshan earthquake, the China government refused the support of foreign rescue teams, which was criticized by the government at that time and became a major failure of rescue work. The rescue work in Tangshan after the earthquake has been basically completed in about 12 days, which is also called a miracle in the history of world rescue.

Reveal the historical truth of Tangshan earthquake

1at 3: 42 on July 28th, 976, a devastating earthquake shocked the world in Tangshan, Hebei province. The buildings in the whole city have become messy ruins in a short time.

As early as before the Tangshan earthquake 1967, the Minister of Geology expressed his opinions on the results of groundwater investigation in Hebei Province. He said that Qian 'an area in Hebei Province should appropriately reduce or give up some work and reduce unnecessary underground mining activities. If this situation continues, it is difficult to rule out the possibility of a major earthquake.

In the first half year of Tangshan earthquake, China National Earthquake Monitoring Center issued more than ten earthquake risk warnings. It is predicted that a strong earthquake will occur in July and August or in the second half of 1976. Two hours before the earthquake, the earthquake workers made an emergency prediction: the land resistivity near Qian 'an changed dramatically, and the geological structure changed from a slight fault to a serious fault, and a destructive earthquake of magnitude 7 or above might occur. In just two hours, the Tangshan earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale claimed 240,000 lives in Tangshan, and the whole urbanization was in ruins.

The truth of Tangshan earthquake is more caused by human factors. After the earthquake, the China government refused the assistance of the international community, which led to more post-earthquake losses in the rescue and recovery work. Tangshan earthquake was a natural disaster, but there were also many human factors, which also reflected the low administrative efficiency of the government at that time. Its possible impact deserves reflection.

What is the magnitude of Tangshan earthquake?

Many years have passed since the Tangshan earthquake. From 1978 to now, people have been asking about the magnitude of Tangshan earthquake. In fact, experts have given a clear answer to the magnitude of the Tangshan earthquake. According to the calculation data three days after the Tangshan earthquake, the magnitude of the Tangshan earthquake is 7.8, but some experts believe that the magnitude of the Tangshan earthquake has reached 8.

At that time, the Tangshan earthquake was measured from the United States with the most popular method of measuring magnitude in the world, that is, from the source. The survey results show that the Tangshan earthquake with magnitude of 7.8 is one of the most serious earthquakes in the history of China. The intensity of the Tangshan earthquake center reached 1 1 degree, and some places even reached a strong earthquake of magnitude 8.

In fact, some foreign scientists have different answers to the magnitude problem of Tangshan earthquake. After the Tangshan earthquake, they rushed to China to carry out survey work. Some western scientists have measured that the magnitude of Tangshan earthquake is about 7.5 internationally, and the intensity is 15 degrees. This figure is not much different from that obtained by scientists in China.

In fact, Tangshan has frequent earthquakes. The main shock of Tangshan earthquake was between 7.8 and 8, but in the densely populated area of Tangshan city, the earthquake reached more than 8. After the Tangshan earthquake, several aftershocks occurred. After measurement, the largest of these aftershocks has reached 5.5, and the smallest is 1 and 2. If comprehensively calculated, the Tangshan earthquake was a magnitude 7.8 earthquake, right in the center.
