Plumb line variations (PLV) of points at Tangshan and Midu during 1985-1998 are determined by using the 46 batch repeated gravity observations of the Beijing-Tangshan network and 32 batch repeated gravity observations of the West-Yunan network. As for Tangshan region, relation between underground matter change (UMC) and the PLV on ground are discussed and approach of determining the UMC by a derived regional PLV is found. The UMC before and after earthquake£¨1995.10.05, Mb 5.0£©in Tangshan region, as an example, is studied, giving the location and depth of the mass center of underground disturbing body as well as its mass quantity.
