But it is worrisome that the authorities find it necessary to arrest people over these rumors. I suppose freedom of speech has not improved as much as the Chinese Communist regime has led people to believe.

Neil Schmid, a professor of Chinese religion at North Carolina State University who is a visiting scholar at Zhejiang University, said it was worth noting that the seismometer was invented by the Chinese in A.D. 132 as a way to detect tremors that might spell the end of a ruler's reign. Successive dynasties employed a master of esoterica who would record and interpret floods, famines and other disasters.
"Reading and understanding these aberrations in the natural world has always been a central aspect of Chinese culture," he said. "Cosmic order and state legitimacy were inextricably linked."
