Abstract:
Earthquakes in Tang dynasty were typical in time,while the earthquakes especially in Jingshi area bear research values. To explore the characteristics of Jingshi earthquakes and people’s gradually formed conception of earthquake in Tang dynasty,this article employed the literature review method. The study shows that during the 290 years of Tang dynasty,there were 34 earthquakes in the Jingshi area which were characterized with periodical,mostly continuous earthquakes and destructive power. People’s conception of earthquake in Tang dynasty was mainly expressed by the theory of Heaven and Men’s interaction model,which was the mainstream theory at the time. It was featured by set conception of a series of causal relationships:The emperor did “something wrong” -“Yinyang and the Five Elements were out of balance” -“The heaven gives out warnings” -“An earthquake occurs” -“The emperor corrects his mistakes” -“The disaster is gone”. LIU Zongyuan believed that the earthquake was formed naturally,but it was not widely recognized by others. The analysis suggests that the Jingshi earthquake in Tang dynasty had a typical research value. People at that time may have reconstructed the relationship between astronomical phenomenon and earthquakes:what was closely related to the earthquake was the movement and change in brightness of some specific stars, but no others. Compared with the Han dynasty,this was an improvement in understanding.
