[I don’t know how the children in Gansu survived]

[I thought there was only one 6.2 magnitude earthquake last night]

[I didn’t expect that when I checked the China Earthquake Administration for detailed earthquake information, I found that ten earthquakes occurred in one night]

[I really can’t imagine how much fear our compatriots in Gansu spent last night]

[Of course, as soon as the earthquake occurred, 580 firefighters participated in the rescue operations]

[Local and surrounding areas also sent personnel to join the rescue team]

[At the same time, state agencies also urgently allocated relief supplies to Gansu Province]

[Although the disaster and casualties in the central area of ​​​​this earthquake are unavoidable, fortunately, people have become more aware of earthquake evacuation, which has reduced more casualties.]

"I hope no more colleges and universities will install turnstiles. During the last earthquake, I couldn't get out of the building. It was so hopeless to queue up and scan my face."

"I was so scared that my hands were shaking when I ran out. I didn't go to bed until after 3 o'clock. I didn't dare to sleep until 7:40 when it was just light. Now I get scared when it gets dark and I always feel like the house is shaking."

"u1s1, Gansu is too long and narrow. Earthquakes in some places may not be felt in other places. For example, I was in Wuwei and only felt a little bit of shaking when it was 6.2 magnitude. But I still hope everyone is safe."

"The people are still there, they were awakened by the shock. Thinking about it, I still feel scared [hug]"

"My good friend is in Lanzhou, and I stayed with him all night. Although I couldn't stay with him in Xi'an, at least it was a little psychological comfort."

"I was in Lanzhou, and the lights in my house kept shaking. I didn't sleep all night that night, and I had to go to school the next day. I'm a senior in high school. At first I thought I was dizzy from doing homework, but as soon as I stood up, there was an earthquake. I couldn't stand steadily at all. After the first earthquake stopped, I wore a nightgown in minus ten degrees Celsius, grabbed a coat and ran outside. I was really freezing. Later I went back home after seeing that everything was fine. Then there were aftershocks, and the pendant on the crystal chandelier kept shaking. My legs were weak."

"I waited until about 12:40 and then went to bed. The math teacher had an exam tomorrow [crying]"

"I don't know about other places, but here in Wuwei, the most obvious thing was that it shook violently around 11 to 12 o'clock, and then we didn't feel the earthquake. I hope our compatriots in other places are safe [blessings]"

“Yes, yes. We had a 6.4 magnitude earthquake three years ago. We also kept shaking here. I saw a statistic on WeChat Moments that there were more than 3 earthquakes [eye-catching] But we are much better than them because we had shaking for two or three days before the big earthquake. We shook every two hours or so. Everyone was prepared for the big earthquake, and it happened in the summer... So Gansu is really having a hard time. Come on!”

Some people in ancient times who had rarely experienced earthquakes also knew that a dragon turning over was a terrible thing. Whenever an earthquake occurred in any part of the country, the imperial court would always put pressure on wealthy places like these and demand them to pay a lot of taxes.

Groups of disaster victims would come to them, their clothes torn and their legs and feet broken, their eyes numb as if they could not see hope, and they came like locusts passing through.

Many refugees, beggars and beggars would appear in the city overnight. They dared not go out at night for fear of being robbed by some beggar.

Gansu ancestors: There was an earthquake among our young people! I don't know if the injuries are serious or not. Are they okay?

The people next to him comforted him and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal. Look at the students on the sky curtain. They have to take a math test tomorrow."

It's okay, it's okay! It's so scary when the earth dragon turns over, but it takes lives every time! The thin scholar finally calmed down his emotions slowly.

My parents were eaten by the earth because of an earthworm.

When I got home from work in the afternoon, the ground at home was still bleeding. I was so scared that I couldn't even eat. I just sat there all night, thinking about why the earth dragon ate my parents, so why did it take me with it? Otherwise, what's the point of me living alone in this world?

My parents paid for my education for so many years, hoping that I could study hard and become an official so that they could live a good life. But now it seems that no matter how much I study, I can't save my parents...

In every dynasty, not only the common people would feel deep fear about the occurrence of earthquakes, but the emperor, the supreme ruler of the world, would also feel afraid.

Earthquakes mean the collapse of houses and the death of family members. In addition, plagues and human disasters occur after earthquakes, and most of the population is lost.

Those merchants who took risks and disregarded national interests would also take the opportunity to make money from the national disaster and raise the prices of rice, oil and salt. Many disaster victims and refugees were not killed by the earthquake and plague, but starved to death. The remaining survivors became refugees and bandits who threatened the stability and order of the country. Unrest broke out everywhere, and the foreign Xiongnu outside would take advantage of the court's helplessness to come and fight and rob.

At the very least, the country will be damaged, the population will be lost, and the people will be uneasy; at worst, the people will not be able to survive and will rebel, and the court and the country will be unstable.

He hoped that when earthquakes occur in the future, the imperial court would be able to handle them as well as possible, so that their ancestors could learn from their experience in handling natural disasters such as earthquakes.
