THE MAP OF SEISMICITY OF CHINA

Maps purporting to show the distribution of seismicity are generally based on histroical data or results of instrumental seismology or both and sometimes associated with the geological evidence that may account for the cause of earthquake. The present work was based on a large body of materials. For the historical data, we have traced back to three thousand years. In Chinese historical anuals as well as other literary works, there is a wealth of informations on earthquakes in ancient China. It is a formidable task to look over thousands of volumes page by page, but it has been eompleted by The Third Institute of History, Academia Sinica.
