The estimated magnitude for this earthquake is about 6.8 M s . The earthquake is thought to have ruptured the Sanmenxia-lingbao Fault, with a normal fault mechanism. An analysis of the evolution of stresses following the 1303 earthquake at Hongdong, suggest that most of the earthquakes in the rift system can be explained by progressive coulomb stress transfer, although the main earthquake to ...
The strongest shaking from the earthquake were in Yinchuan and Pingluo, where maximum intensity of XII was determined on the Chinese seismic intensity scale, and XI on the Mercalli intensity scale. In this region of intensity, the earthquake collapsed most houses, temples, offices, and a city wall 10 m (33 ft) tall and 6 m (20 ft) wide.

Earthquakes in the loess plateau where residents lived in yaodong caves tended to have big casualties, including the 1303 Hongdong and 1920 Haiyuan ...
The 1679 Sanhe-Pinggu earthquake (Chinese: 三河—平谷地震; pinyin: Sānhé—Pínggǔ dìzhèn) was a major quake that struck the Zhili (Greater Beijing) region in Qing China on the morning of September 2, 1679. [1] It is the largest recorded surface rupture event to have occurred in the North China Plain.

The 1976 Songpan–Pingwu earthquake that struck Songpan and Pingwu counties in Sichuan, China consisted of three mainshocks on the 16th, 21st, and 23rd (UTC) of August. A 1984 report gave the magnitudes as 7.2, 6.7, and 7.2, respectively (scale not specified). [ 7 ]
Estimates for the magnitude of this earthquake vary in the range 7.3–7.5. [1] [4] Although the 1850 Xichang earthquake is thought to have ruptured both the Anninge and Zemuhe segments, the 1536 event probably only ruptured the more northerly Anninge segment.
