Has there ever been an earthquake in Quanzhou, Fujian?

There was an earthquake in Quanzhou, Fujian.

on December 29th, 164, an earthquake of magnitude 8 occurred in the sea area east of Quanzhou. Because of the "earthquake on the ninth night of the first lunar month" recorded in the Wanli "Records of Quanzhou", many scholars in the past concluded that it was a tsunami, because there were many rocks and sea water moving inside and outside the city, and there were many shipwrecks and many cracks in Qingyuan Mountain and other places.

In recent years, some scholars, through the comprehensive comparison and analysis of relevant historical materials, think that this information is an isolated evidence, and then use the tsunami wave records of the Taiwan Province Strait earthquake to estimate that the tsunami source only caused a small tsunami water increase and decrease effect in Quanzhou Bay, and there was no condition for the formation of a destructive tsunami.
