Subscriber nudge+ 15,328 Posted February 12, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted February 12, 2019 Just now, Berserker said: Romans?, Quin or Han dinasty? Han Dynasty is correct. The actual thing is also very interesting; it was an urn-like instrument with a central pendulum that apparently was sensitive to earth tremors hundreds of kilometers away. An earthquake would cause the pendulum to loose balance and activate a set of levers inside. Then, one of the eight dragons placed in eight directions outside the urn would release a bronze ball held in its mouth. The ball would fall into the mouth of a toad and give off a sound, letting people know when and in which direction an earthquake had occurred.

One river is the words second longest, another is the second largest flowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
