According to the historical data "edited by Mayor Lu Chong of Shi Ming", it is recorded that: "The midnight earthquake of Changde House in Huguang was audible, and it came from the northwest, and the sound was like thunder, which covered the sky for a while.

Shockingly, Jing Quan (Sakamoto) flooded, the ground cracked, mud gushed out, six yellow sand sites, countless Fu Rong palaces and walled houses collapsed, and 60 men and women were killed. "

"On the same day, Taoyuan, Longyang, Yuanjiang, Wuchang and Chenzhou belong to Yuanling and Yuanzhou, Jingzhou belongs to the Association, Changsha belongs to Changsha, Hua Shan, Xiangtan, Ningxiang, Xiangyin, Liquan (Ling) and Anhua, and Chengtian belongs to Zhongxiang, mian yang, Qianjiang and Jingling counties.

The next day, Lizhou was also shaken several times, the inner city cracked, the walled houses collapsed, and more than ten households died. Wangjiajing spewed yellow water, iron ruler weir spewed black water, Pengshan collapsed and the river was silted up.

Jingzhou Prefecture also felt the earthquake that day, with four out of ten bad walls and three out of ten bad houses, and more than ten soldiers and civilians were killed. "

These records of the long side of Chongzhen are all recorded from Bai Shilin's report.

According to the records of the Ming Dynasty, Bai Shilin's title was Patrol Press.

The governor was a kind of official system in Ming Dynasty, whose duty was to patrol on behalf of the emperor, and he cared almost nothing wherever he went.

Thirteen provinces, one for each province.

Bai is an official and often visits Huguang (namely Hunan and Hubei) provinces.

Bai's report was obviously based on the report of local officials at that time.

According to other historical data, it may be within 3 months after the earthquake.

Therefore, the records in Chongzhen Changbian are basically true in terms of the time, area and damage degree of the earthquake, and its information is the most primitive, detailed and reliable.

Changde earthquake is also recorded in some local chronicles.

For example, the Records of Changde Mansion compiled in the 9th year of Kangxi (A.D. 1670) recorded: "In the 4th year of Chongzhen, at the turn of the Weixin Haizi on July 17th, the earthquake in Fucheng was abnormal, the houses in the city collapsed, and the city walls collapsed, causing countless casualties, men, women and children.

The soil is cracked everywhere, and the black spring is twenty or thirty feet high. There are three or four earthquakes every day, and they roar like thunder. People were frightened. The street sleepers slept for more than a month, and the ground suddenly sank and the water was used up. Even three years old. "(Volume 2, page 7 1).

In the 22nd year of Kangxi (A.D. 1683), Anxiang County Records recorded: "In the third year of Chongzhen, there was an earthquake on the evening of July 17th in Xinwei (Xinwei should have been Chongzhen for four years, the original text was incorrect), and the ground cracked and water surged from the northeast with thunder.

There, the ground collapsed, red water overflowed, trees fell to the ground, birds and animals panicked and screamed, killing and injuring countless people, and the people built buildings to prevent disasters.

1October 15, another big earthquake happened, which was different from other small earthquakes. "(Volume 2, page 24).

In the 24th year of Kangxi (1685), the Records of Yuezhou Prefecture recorded: "In four years of Chongzhen, there was no major earthquake, and Changli was very serious. When the earthquake happened, there seemed to be golden eyes flashing around the house, which made people feel embarrassed. People sleep in the moonlight and dare not enter the house.

The location is cracked, the black sand is surging, the smell is threatening, and the land is exhausted "(Volume II, 14 page).

In addition, 33 counties in Hunan have historical records of earthquakes.
