The five Lianchi volcanoes in Northeast China erupted violently from 17 19 to 172 1. The scene is: "Fireworks are soaring into the sky, and the sound is like thunder. They are heard day and night, five or six miles away. What flew out was black stone sulfur and the like, and the hot air was pressed for more than 30 miles. " (According to Notes on Gu Ning Baota)
