嘉慶《新安縣志》卷之十三 防省志「災異」門由「明」起按朝代逐年記天災怪異（掃描本第 177 頁上下兩葉，版心「卷之十三 災異」頁次一、二）。門前小序講天變可畏、省察防患之意，中間有一句「邑自復界以來生聚日繁」，即由康熙復界講到嘉慶年間人口漸繁。上半葉記：「嘉靖五年春二月大電雨」、「二十五年夏五月潦潮大溢」、「四十三年夏四月大旱，斗米銀一錢零」、「隆慶元年冬十二月初一日地震」、「萬曆六年彗星見」、「十一年夏秋大旱」；下半葉記：「二十四年大旱，斗米銀一錢六分」、「二十五年黑眚見」、「三十一年秋八月二十二日地震」、「三十三年秋八月初三日地震」、「四十六年秋九月彗星見於東方」、「四十八年夏六月十七日地震」、「天啟四年夏四月米貴，斗米銀一錢五分」、「崇正二年牡蠣血，民不敢採食，是年疫厲損民甚多」、「三年春三月黑眚見，形如黑犬，迷婦人，知縣陳穀爲文禱於城隍，神怪乃滅」、「四年夏四月米貴，斗米銀一錢六分」、「九年夏四五月旱，斗米銀一錢六分，縣發粟賑饑」、「十六年四月二十四日颶風作，大雨拔木毀屋覆舟甚多」。原文寫「崇正」即崇禎（照掃描本抄錄）；「黑眚」係古籍所記怪異之屬，本站照錄不加解釋；名字同數字一律照掃描本抄錄。呢條係由公共領域掃描本人手核讀出嚟嘅內容事實，同志錄並排對照：志錄記 1526 年（嘉靖五年）二月新安一帶雷電頻繁、雨水大增，1546 年（嘉靖二十五年）夏五月嚴重水災、潮水大範圍泛濫，1567 年（隆慶元年）十二月初一日東莞縣地震，1578 年（萬曆六年）新安縣觀測到彗星，1624 年（天啟四年）四至五月新安縣斗米白銀一錢五分，1629 年（崇禎二年）新安縣疫症令大量人口死亡——逐條同縣志所記對得上；1620 年（萬曆四十八年）志錄記「七月十六日」而縣志原文寫「四十八年夏六月十七日」，本站照縣志原文抄錄並保留呢個差異；1605 年（萬曆三十三年）志錄所記地震喺瓊州（今海南），同縣志同年嘅地震唔可以當同一條，所以兩者冇配對。縣志原文只寫年號同農曆月日，本站唔會自行換算成西曆，亦唔會把斗米銀幾多當統計數字。

The “natural calamities” section of juan 13 in the Jiaqing Xin’an County Gazetteer opens with the Ming dynasty and runs year by year (both leaves of page 177 of the scan, running heads “juan 13, natural calamities”, folios 1 and 2). Its short preface dwells on the fear due to heaven’s changes and on vigilance in advance, and says that “since the county returned within the boundary its people have multiplied” — from the Kangxi restoration down to the crowded Jiaqing years. The upper leaf carries: heavy rain with lightning in the second month of Jiajing 5; a great overflow of flood-water and tide in the fifth month of summer in Jiajing 25; a great drought in the fourth month of summer in Jiajing 43, a peck of rice at one mace and a fraction of silver; an earthquake on the first day of the twelfth month of winter in Longqing 1; a comet in Wanli 6; and a summer-autumn drought in Wanli 11. The lower leaf carries: a great drought in Wanli 24, a peck of rice at one mace six candareens; a “black omen” (heisheng) in Wanli 25; an earthquake on the twenty-second day of the eighth month of autumn in Wanli 31; an earthquake on the third day of the eighth month of autumn in Wanli 33; a comet seen in the east in the ninth month of autumn in Wanli 46; an earthquake on the seventeenth day of the sixth month of summer in Wanli 48; dear rice in the fourth month of summer in Tianqi 4, a peck at one mace five candareens; oyster blood in Chongzhen 2, which the people dared not gather and eat, with an epidemic that year killing many; in the third month of spring in Chongzhen 3 a black omen shaped like a black dog that bewitched women, the magistrate writing a prayer at the city god’s shrine until the prodigy ceased; dear rice in Chongzhen 4; drought in the fourth and fifth months of summer in Chongzhen 9, a peck at one mace six candareens, the county issuing grain to relieve the famine; and in Chongzhen 16 a typhoon on the twenty-fourth day of the fourth month with heavy rain that uprooted trees, wrecked houses and sank many boats. The gazetteer prints “Chongzheng” for Chongzhen and the text is reproduced as printed; “black omen” is an old term for a prodigy and is left unexplained; names and numbers are copied exactly as printed. This content fact was read by hand from the public-domain scan and sits alongside the Chronicles archive, whose entries for 1526 (Jiajing 5, frequent thunder and lightning with much rain), 1546 (Jiajing 25, a severe flood that fifth month), 1567 (Longqing 1, an earthquake in Dongguan on the first day of the twelfth month), 1578 (Wanli 6, a comet observed in Xin’an County), 1624 (Tianqi 4, a peck of rice at one mace five candareens in Xin’an County) and 1629 (Chongzhen 2, an epidemic that killed many) match the gazetteer item by item. For 1620 (Wanli 48) the archive has “the sixteenth day of the seventh month” where the gazetteer prints “the seventeenth day of the sixth month of summer”; this site reproduces the gazetteer and keeps the difference. The 1605 (Wanli 33) earthquake in the archive is placed in Qiongzhou (Hainan) and is not paired with the same year’s earthquake in the gazetteer. The gazetteer prints reign years and lunar dates only, so this site never converts them into Gregorian dates, and grain prices are never used as statistics.
