The first of the disaster interview and publicly reported at the time of the official newspaper "Dibao", the newspaper to report the truth, specially published "Dibao", named "extra, the day becomes di copy".
"Copy" the day Di "Bing Yinwu Ji" is the beginning of the six month of the situation at the time of this account:
"The apocalypse in early May six it was bright, and there is time, such as the sound of roaring, from the northeast to the southwest corner of the capital gradually, the air filled with ash, the unrest. In a moment, a large earthquake, especially erosion, bad smelling, zombies are empty and under the rubble."
"Dibao" on the damage caused by the disaster to the residents of the capital, very detailed reports also very strange sad. Have the official home, tables and chairs rolling, because of the dark earth, Qiqie Yahuan colliding, fainted on the ground. A official surnamed Zhou in Shaoxing was killed in Beijing only two days ago. With a huge explosion and terrible air, his head from the neck cavity by being pulled out, twirled into a wall. Working in the construction site scaffolding workers, because of severe concussion and off the more than 2000 people, all smashed into a pie. According to an eyewitness account, at the time of the Chang'an Avenue people over the head, arms and legs have fallen, the rivers of blood. There is a heavy five thousand kg stone lion stone Horse Street, hundreds of people to lift, but what is involved in the air, flying out of the city. The more than 20 big trees near the central King Gong factory were uprooted. Some large pieces of wood are even thrown into the clouds of Miyun, dozens of kilometers away.
In the face of this unprecedented disaster, even when the Korean son can not escape. At that time, the Emperor Ming Xi Zong Zhu from the correction in the palace of Heavenly Purity into food, suddenly a burst of unrest in the hall, Ming Xi Zong hurriedly picked head to the Thai Temple run, the infamous image of. The Royal Palace of Heavenly Purity, the throne has been overturned. The rubble of the hall was falling, and the head of a guard was smashed... There are many similar records, including the Ming Dynasty scholar Huang Yu's "sweetness: day miscellanies", the Ming Dynasty eunuch Liu Ruo "Zhi" in the action, and the history of the Ming Dynasty, five Zhi "," history of the Ming Dynasty, and Qing Dynasty scholar Zhu Yizun's "Daily News" etc..
Most people remain perplexed despite much thought is in the catastrophe, when the thing all the moment to be stripped of clothes, stay naked in nature's garb. There is a man surnamed items, because of being injured by a leg, lying on the ground, saw a lot of naked men and women screaming in the street to avoid. One of the young women used a piece of broken tiles to cover the shame department, and the others were covered with mattresses and sheets, and some were simply covered by their hands. More surprising is the round Philip Temple Street a woman sitting across the street from the sedan, and loud noise after a car roof was blown away, women's clothes and jewelry are all women had to hand take wings to itself, the naked chest, afraid to come out to stay in the car. After "Dibao" according to reports, the disaster, the city of Beijing, the silk silks all floated to Xishan, half hanging in the trees; Changping Jiao Chang in clothes in jewelry, silver ware, Nothing needed is lacking." In this report, the Ministry of Sir Zhang Fengda had sent to the scene to check and verify, prove true.
The "recorded" record in two is very much puzzled thing: one is a school in the West Hall Road, 32 students, after the big bang, the teacher and the students are missing; second is to Xuanhua new Bing Yuan Hong Temple Street to see a friend, after the incident, even with Ma Bing and 7 soldiers led by all disappear without a trace.
There were some strange signs in the city of Beijing before the outbreak of the catastrophe. According to records, Shandong Ji'nan Zhifu Beijing to Town God's Temple incense, incense just lit, and prefect entourage remain unconscious. Houzaimen fire Temple Gulou Street West of the gatekeeper, in the morning, suddenly heard the sound of music from music, while coarse fine for a while, rang three times. The gatekeeper was very surprised, she and her companions together opened the door, I saw a red round objects, from rotating flying out of the temple, to rise, after a while, the big disaster will come. In the morning, the officer in the North Town inspection office just entered the gate of the inspection house. He suddenly saw a man with red hair and red cap on his head. He was riding on a monster with a sword. The officer fell down from the horse, be frightened and change color, yamen a piece of chaos, at this moment, the big bang.
This mysterious and unprecedented catastrophe recalled the attention of many historians and researchers. They put forward all kinds of explanations and speculated on the causes of the disaster.
The Changping chronicles, written in the late Qing Dynasty, described the disaster as a big earthquake. This statement seems to be difficult to set up, because the so-called earthquake is likely to be caused by the shock of the big bang. There is no record of the earthquake in the chronology of China's seismic data.
The second argument is that gunpowder (see "history of the Ming Dynasty, five Zhi"). Because many parties saw the flame of the blast in the explosion, and the huge shock waves caused by the explosion and the explosion.
