On April 1,1936,an earthquake of M6 3/4 occurred near Luoyang mountain in the southeast of Pingshan town,Lingshan county,Guangxi. This event is the largest earthquake that has occurred in the South China continent since documental earthquake records are available. In this study,we collected and organized geological data and the recent research results related to this event. Then,we simulated strong ground motion parameters such as peak ground acceleration and peak ground velocity on each grid points within the area and incorporated the influence of shallow shear wave velocity structure V³⁰_s on the simulation results. Finally,we obtained the strong ground motion distribution of this earthquake and analyzed its characteristics. We compared the simulation results with field survey intensity data and attenuation relationships. The results showed that the simulation results are in good agreement with the survey intensity values and attenuation relationships in terms of overall characteristics and distribution of meizoseismal area. The simulation results of this study can provide a reliable basis for the risk assessment of future earthquake disaster in the region,and the technical methods used in this study can also be applied to rapid regional estimation of seismic intensity,providing assistance for emergency rescue and decision-making command after earthquakes.
