There were so many earthquakes in China at that time. They brought suffering to people. And people didn't know what to do when the earthquakes happened. Zhang Heng's invention helped a lot. His seismograph examined an earthquake in February of 138 AD and Zhang reported this fact to the emperor. He said that the earthquake was to the north-west of the capital. He achieved fame when reports of an earthquake hundreds of kilometres north-west reached the capital several days later. He died in 139 AD at the age of 62, but his invention made a great difference to the world. 语篇导读 本文主要介绍了东汉著名天文学家张衡的生平。 刷外刊 返回目录 10 1.When was Zhang Heng born?( ) B A.In 76 AD. B.In 78 AD. C.In 86 AD.
